Ray Davies is the lead singer, chief songwriter, and rhythm guitarist in the Kinks, one of the most long-lived of the British Invasion rock groups of the 1960s.

During the '90s, the Kinks gradually became inactive and Davies pursued other projects, starting with his semi-fictional 1995 memoir, "X-Ray." He supported the book with a series of concerts subtitled "Storyteller," where he played classic Kinks songs, read from the book, told stories, and showcased new songs. The Storyteller concerts sowed the seeds of a number of projects, including the music cable network VH1's recurring series, "Storyteller." Davies himself released a book of the same name, filled with short stories, and a similarly titled album that captured one of his solo acoustic concerts.

In late 2005, Davies he released the benefit EP Thanksgiving Day. All net proceeds raised by the EP went to New Orleans music education programs. A year later the full-length Other People's Lives appeared, followed by Working Man's Café in 2008.

Dana Fuchs is a phenomenon, a singer whose mesmerizing voice and presence, has led critics to compare her to Rock legends from Janis to Jagger. Fittingly she appeared in the off-Broadway production "Love, Janis." The multitalented singer/ songwriter stars in one of last year's most talked-about films, "Across The Universe," in which she has a major presence both in the film, and on the soundtrack. Stereophile magazine describes Fuchs as a "a sultry, more emotive Janis Joplin, backed by a higher energy version of the late 60s Rolling Stones "Rock n' Roll doesn't get any better."
