Chad Price is a musician and recording artist from London. He recently recorded his upcoming independent debut album with acclaimed music producer Bill Bell (Jason Mraz, Tom Cochrane, Justin Nozuka, etc) in Toronto and Los Angeles. The album showcases a blending of Chad’s early musical influences including elements of acoustic soul, pop-rock, country, and coffeehouse folk. The bubbly first single “Another Day” will be hitting Canadian and U.S. radio airwaves in early 2012 in anticipation of the full album release, which will be distributed with Universal Music/Interscope, in the spring of 2012.

The Scott SZERYK band is a 4pc powerhouse, tour de force with unmatched versatility, ranging from bluesy funky style grooves to all out ice pick in the forehead progressive metal with a dash of humor, and of course guitar playing that will astonish all. Scott has just finished recording his latest work titled "Guitar Manifesto" and certainly cements the panel’s credibility.
