South Central Skankers
The South Central Skankers Rise from Lost Angeles
The South Central Skankers first formed in the barrios of South Central LA in 2001. The Skankers combine ska, punk, metal, Latin and reggae to create an out of body experienced that can't be replicated. They show up with a five-piece, mad brass section, a walking baseline and unique, offbeat guitar chords that can't help but entice people to get off their feet and SKANK! The Skankers are veterans of the long running Captiva Showcase held during Austin's SXSW Music Festival. Their long awaited debut CD "Welcome to Lost Angeles" will be available early this summer on Captiva Records. You can purchase the first single "So Long" on iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic, and several other download sites.

Lata Gouveia: The Journey of Self-Discovery
Lata Gouveia is a London based singer/songwriter who decided to make the move to America's heartland, Tulsa, Oklahoma after several years of touring throughout Europe in different musical formations. It is there he felt an instant connection with the likes of Tom Skinner, Jesse Aycock and other members of the Red Dirt musical family who embraced Lata as one of their own. The self-confessed Bob Dylan and JJ Cale devotee was invited by legendary Rocky Frisco (JJ Cale band & Tulsa Sound pioneer) to go to Tulsa in 2007 and take his songwriting back to basics.
