       F I N N E U S - Redefining musical boundaries, finneus gauge
           G A U G E   incorporates elements of jazz, rock, fusion, funk,
                       and soaring vocal harmonies that have won over
                       many fans worldwide, including the folks at
                       Keyboard Magazine who picked their debut CD as one
                       of the top releases of the year.

       S M O K I N ' - This outfit featuring former members of Freehand
         G R A N N Y   were one of the favorites at Progday 97 last year.
                       Brewing up a mixture heavy on the fusion with a 
                       dabble of the avant-garde and a heaping spoonful
                       of improv, they're sure to delight.

     T H E   D A R K - Featuring Adam Levin (Chapman Stick/loops/guitar),
         A E T H E R   Yaman Aksu (fretted and fretless guitars/guitar
       P R O J E C T   synth) and Brian Griffin (percussion), this trio 
                       plays a blend of progressive/psychedelic rock
                       with ethnic folk and jazz-based improv
                       sensibilities. The core trio will be joined by
                       some very special guests to celebrate the release
                       of their debut CD.
