Tiedye Keith - Tiedye Black: Thursday's at TDK's CD - Tiedye Keith is excited to announce his latest CD - Tiedye Black's Thursday's at TDK's - a co-production between Tiedye Keith and Vernon Ice Black. It's a collection of toe tappers and finger snappers in a traditional jazz quartet style that will also appeal to jam band and jazz fusion enthusiasts. Recorded over several Thursdays, the Tiedye Black sessions were a musical sanctuary in the midst of the hectic lives of working musicians, like a weekly musical summer BBQ. "Kerlazzo," an original TDK creation, showcases the percussion work of Karl Perazzo, Carlos Santana's world famous percussionist. Tiedye Keith's coterie of musicians on Tiedye Black includes Vernon Ice Black, Tony Lindsay, Curtis Ohlson, Karl Perazzo, and many more. $12.00

Hymn For Her - Year of the Golden Pig CD - A duo that takes you over the stars and sands, playing soul-scaping music with voices and hands. A variety of stringed instruments and chords of vocals intertwine in a way that captivates and mesmerizes. Hymn for Her is a story of two musicians who took a break from touring with their band (Maggi, Pierce and EJ) and traveled up to Maine to write a book. It wasn't long before cabin fever set in. Thus, a baby was conceived and a band was born (they're still working on the book). In the year of The Golden Pig, Spring 2007, their baby was born and the duo started recording an album. They stripped down to the bare necessities: two acoustic instruments and two voices, keeping it as true to their live performance as possible. Hymn for Her bring to you their debut CD, Year of the Golden Pig! $11.00
Seun Kuti - Seun Kuti & Fela's Egypt 80 CD - Seun Kuti is the son of Fela Kuti, Africa's greatest musician and inventor of Afrobeat. From the opening bars of this album, ideas, words, and notes whiz about with abandon. The Afrobeat magic is set in motion while the delirious, unrelenting groove machine carries us away. For this debut album and full North American summer tour, Seun is leading the legendary Egypt 80 orchestra, his father's last band. Egypt 80 have been together for over 2 decades and it shows in every note, from the cohesion and absolutely mesmerizing precision of the rhythmic reflexes down to the thousandth of a second that makes their ultra-syncopated polyphony the perfect 'swing' model. $14.99
Tree of Music T-Shirt - This white cotton t-shirt with colored neck and sleeve rings features gorgeous "Tree of Music in a Land of Enchantment" artwork by Brian Zickafoose. You can choose Kelly Green or Sky Blue rings, and the different choices make different parts of the artwork pop! Available in sizes Small up to XXL. $17.00
