Hi =) My name is Zach Eaton, and as I'm writing this, I'm 19 years old. I've always had a love for music: it's something that runs in my family. It was always a pipe-dream of mine to actually create my own music that could affect others the way it affected me, but I never actually tried it, until I was 18. Even when I was little, I could formulate my own music in my head, but I never put my ideas on paper until recently. Ever since, I've been writing and writing, and have created a modest repertoire of compositions -- most of the better ones, in my opinion, just being for the solo piano.
I've worked very hard on my compositions, and I hope that you enjoy the fruits of my labors.

Find Me By Midnight is a space-age, surreal art project set in the medium of sound. ‘Starry,’’ the current collection of songs has grown from 1 to 13 songs since the end of 2008. All of the songs in the collection are currently available to stream online or download for free after registering with the website. The music is made by 24-year-old artist Chris Vogt in Los Angeles, California, who’s photography can be found at artinreality.com.
The music in Starry was recorded and worked on in a few location: from a bedroom closet with padded walls, a bathroom in the back of a party, on the train, remotely during lunch at work, on a boat to Mexico, and countless of other random places you would never guess. Unless otherwise noted, all of the writing, recording, vocals, guitars, synthesizers, drums, and production work was done by Chris, who lives in a bedroom filled with keyboards, controllers, mics, mixers, acoustic and electric guitars, a violin and a flute.
Presently Find Me By Midnight is a quest to discover a new genre of music, one that is made up of modern rock, new age, classical, psytrance, jazz, dance, electropop, dubstep, trance, and hardcore. Yes. All of those genres mixed into one.

My name is Lee McAdams. I am the singer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist for The Cosmic Factory. This is my favorite musical venture I've ever been a part of. I started this band to bring together a very wide range in styles to create something fresh and unique. I wanted to incorporate many of my influences into one band. We span across genres including rock, blues, psychedelic funk, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, folk, progressive, electronic, metal, bluegrass, and more! With the help of Dewey Raposo, the most versitile drummer I've ever had the pleasure of playing with, we are creating new music and working to push boundaries. We are in the search of a bass player now.

Evocative of bygoneband eras and hollowed traditions, the music of Lac La Belle fits comfortably next to old timey Americana, but blazes its own trail away from the purist camp.
Formed in 2008 as Jennie and the Sure Shots, the group began as an expansion of the set of country, honky tonk and cowboy tunes that singer Jennie Knaggs had been performing around Detroit. Nick Schillace and Joel Peterson are enthusiasts of the early decades of recorded music who had distinguished themselves in the creative music scene there. They saw the potential for a new group that could absorb and transmute the vocabulary of early Americana. Schillace and Peterson learned Knaggs’ expansive repertoire and then the trio went to work hammering out its own identity. The name change to Lac La Belle signaled the new direction and the group consolidated energy into songwriting and several tours.
Lac La Belle released its first eponymous recording in October 2009, during its second tour of the year. Recorded by Jim Diamond (The White Stripes, Detroit Cobras, The Dirt Bombs etc), the entire record was cut live in the studio, using only a few mics. Its spare production captures the timeless quality of Lac La Belle’s sound, without being nostalgic.
Jennie Knaggs moved to Detroit in 2004 and her singular talent has made her a fixture on the city's music scene. She is the 2000 Hollerin' Champion of Wise Co., Virginia and Letcher Co., Kentucky. In the course of travel and advocacy work in Appalachia, she mined local music sources firsthand. Knaggs has studied opera and toured Ukraine and Europe in various vocal ensembles. She currently performs in the rock group I, Crime and Odu Afrobeat Orchestra.
Nick Schillace is internationally recognized as a solo instrumentalist who has contributed significantly to the American Primitive guitar canon with his releases Box Canyon (2005) and Landscape and People (2008.) Raised by folk and blues enthusiasts, he acquired early training at Augusta Heritage in Elkins, West Virginia. Lac La Belle finds Schillace singing and playing banjo, mandolin and resophonic guitar, expanding the traditions he grew up with. His recent work includes tenor guitar in Odu Afrobeat Orchestra, electric guitar in Indoorpark (with percussionist Jon Moshier) and acoustic strings in the experimental/traditional group Duo un Duo with Joel Peterson. Schillace has toured and performed with other finger picking greats, including Jack Rose, Keenan Lawler and Glenn Jones.
Multi-instrumentalist Joel Peterson has spent 15 years performing in some of Detroit's most noted groups, including Immigrant Suns, Scavenger Quartet (with Frank Pahl), Kindred (with Faruq Z. Bey), Odu Afrobeat Orchestra, Xenharmonic Gamelon and dozens of others. He's played with creative musicians in several genres, including Eugene Chadbourne, Rhys Chatham, Damo Suzuki, Thollem McDonas, Tatsuya Nakatani, Skeeter Shelton, Luc Houtkamp, Gino Robair, Steve Cohn, Amy Denio and The Violent Femmes. He ran Bohemian National Home, Detroit's formerly leading music/art space, 2005 until late 2008.
