Guitar grrl Anna Roland covers the range of emotion in her songs, from sweet-but-not-sickly love songs, conjuring up a summer night drive and the wind in your hair, to her growly tirades against The Man, his government and his corporations. Chad Wells, a singer-songwriter who accompanies himself on guitar, acquires most of his material through what he describes as spiritual (not "religious") moments. He has great love and appreciation for the "universe" and gifts of it, and a passion for nature and real human emotions. He reflects this in his songwriting and performance.
