Greetings:

All of our releases have been doing very well, and our artists continue touring extensively while enjoying great success both here and abroad. We have a great fan base and really appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and support.

Mike Kindred's Handstand spent 23 weeks in the top 20 on the Roots/Blues charts and stayed at #8 for 11 weeks. Handstand received rave reviews from the press as well, including MSNBC, Associated Press, The New York Times and Harp Magazine.

Ponty Bone's Fantasize has been equally well recieved - winning rave reviews both here and abroad.  Fantasize was the Number One Song Of The Year in Canada on the World Music Charts, and a signature song for Dutch National Radio programs.

David Olney's The Wheel was received enthusiastically by radio and press, receiving four-star reviews from The Los Angeles Times, Boston Herald, Philadelphia Enquirer and No Depression Magazine. The Wheel was in the Top Ten Americana Charts for 16 weeks.

David Olney's second CD for Loudhouse, Migration, reached #1 on the Euro-Americana Charts in May of 2006 and #2 in June; it was the #3 Album for the month of June on the U. S. Folk Charts, including the #4 Song and #5 Artist.

R C Banks' Conway's Corner was Australia's Number One Blues Album of the Year and was named Texas Album of the Year by the Austin Chronicle (Jay Thrachtenberg) and Album of the Year (Margaret Moser). It has received outstanding reviews from Downbeat Magazine, The Austin American-Statesman, The Austin Chronicle and The San Antonio Express News, just to name a few.


Paul Metsa's Texas In The Twilight placed in the Top 20 on all three European Charts and received great reviews in Performing Songwriter Magazine, The Minnesota Observer, Austin Chronicle, Minneapolis Star Tribune and The Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Another one of our successful new projects is the short documentary film Native New Yorker, a black and white silent movie shot on a 1924 Cine-Kodak camera. Native New Yorker was showcased at the Avignon/New York, Rome, Los Angeles, and Vancouver International Film Festivals as well as London's Raindance and The United Nations Film Festival. Native New Yorker received two Gold Medal of Excellence Awards at the Park City, Utah Film Festival in February, 2006, as well as the award for Best Short Documentary at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.

We are currently in production on Baghdad Texas, a feature film with Al No'mani, Robert Prentiss, Melinda Renna and Barry Tubbs; Directed by David Hickey.
