CHARLIE BRECHTEL BAND - Listen to the Music
Here is a history, a legacy and a brotherhood that comprise the soul of the American biker. Those are also
the elements that separate the music of Charlie Brechtel from any other musician or band who aim their
talents at the motorcycling community. With Charlie it's all about reality. It's about what actually goes on
--and has gone on -- within the inner circle of America's last breed of folk heroes. Charlie doesn't just play
the kind of rockin' blues that is the perfect soundtrack to this way of life; Charlie takes his listeners into a
world that was begun in America's post WWII years, screamed through the 50s and 60s and has evolved
into one of the most powerful and envied sub-cultures that this country has ever produced. His music
pays homage to the biker lifestyle. Charlie has worked with the likes of John Lee Hooker, Deacon Jones,
Gregg Allman, B.B. King, Dr. John, Buddy Miles, Aaron Neville, Freddy Fender, Steppenwolfe and on and
on...Charlie has ridden a bike or two, so he knows the life.

HEIDI NEWFIELD - Former Lead of Trick Pony - Listen to the Music
We feel especially priviliged to have Heidi perform at the Shasta Salute rally. Watch for her new album to
be released soon. Singer/harmonica player/guitarist Heidi Newfield had her first taste of prominence as
part of country music trio group Trick Pony.. During her six-year-tenure with the group (from 2000 to 2006),
Newfield has launched three albums, most notably the 2000 self-titled debut, which garnered the group
with an American Music Award and a Country Music Association Award. Heidi struck out on her own and
now reaches new heights as an artisl. She gracefully leads us through the sweet, breathy yearning of “All I
Wanta Do,” the simple hurt of “Love Her And Lose Me,” and the retro groove of “Tears Fall Down.” Closing
with the “redneck-clever” anthem “Knocked Up,” the album whirls its way through a 360 degree tour of
Heidi Newfield. “I wanted to create a body of work, no matter how long it took me,” Heidi explains. “I had
no interest in just going in and making another Nashville country record that gets thrown out there. I really
was only interested in cutting a record that was going to step out and have some relevance in this day and
age.

JAMES INTVELD
James Intveld was a native of Los Angeles who started his career at an early age listening and singing
along to his parents' recordings of Hank Williams, Sr., Dean Martin, Lefty Frizzell, and Elvis. During the cow
punk movement of the '80s, Intveld was working the same clubs as Dwight Yoakam and Rosie Flores,
playing his own brand of rockabilly, and so impressed Town South of Bakersfield producers Pete
Anderson and Dusty Wakeman that he was included on the second volume of the compilation series.
Initially, Intveld worked with his younger brother Ricky and friend Pat Woodward in a band known as the
Rockin' Shadows. The group dissolved when Ricky and Woodward left to work with Rick Nelson's Stone
Canyon Band; both later died in the same airplane accident that took the life of Nelson, a tragedy that cut
deeply into Intveld's heart and soul. On his own, he worked as a singer/songwriter and concentrated on
acting. Continuously cast in movies, TV, and videos, he was the singing voice of Johnny Depp's character
in the John Waters film Cry Baby. Recently James starred in the movie Choppertown a garage-built film
about garage-built bikes featuring Kutty Noteboom, Rico Fodrey, James Intveld, Jason Jessee, Cole Foster
and the rest of the Sinners.

SKYNNYN LYNNYRD
Skynnyn Lynnyrd began to take form at the very moment of the tragic crash that ended the lives of Ronnie
VanZant, Steve and Cassie Gains as well as Dean about the music... real, honest and often edgy. Skynnyn
Lynnyrd has stripped the music of the legendary band down to its finest detail and re-assembled it...not as a
cover but as it was intended. Every nuance and detail is pursued with passion and determination...to be
performed as if by the original band. Skynnyn Lynnyrd is the "Reloaded" Lynyrd Skynyrd. The parity is
remarkable...as if guided by the spirit of the original band members who departed so long ago. While there
will never be another Lynyrd Skynyrd, Skynnyn Lynnyrd is Lynyrd Skynyrd - - - RELOADED.

THUNDHERSTRUCK
Some of the hottest tribute bands around are all-female groups honoring all-male stars. Southern
California's ThundHerStruck is among the creme de la creme who pay homage to AC/DC, playing
everywhere including USO tours. In addition to releasing their own effort, "You've Been ThundHerStruck,"
their cut, "Thunderstruck," is featured on the Liquor and Poker compilation, "Girls Got Rhythm." This is no
easy balancing act. We try to be true to the music. A lot of fans who come see the band want to hear it
note to note, a lot of them know the solos, they sing along with the solos. They're watching everything you
do so it's really important to get it as close.
