Flowerglass : In the Summer of 2007, Scarlet Moreno, a Texas native, and Trevor Smith, a boy from Missouri, met in the land of the Ozarks. There, in a matter of hours, they realized that they had loved each other their entire lives. Soon after, Moreno moved to New York City to pursue an acting career at NYU, while Smith honed his song-writing skills and played the back alleys and dingey bars of the Midwest. After four and a half years, through layers of broken hearts and an impossible distance, they have emerged as Flowerglass. The two have cultivated an homage to the golden age of music. With Moreno’s vocal stylings echoing the likes of Jim Morrison and Patsy Cline, and Smith’s penchant for surrealism and poignant narration, Flowerglass invites its listeners into a world littered with road maps, lost souls, and hopeful romantics.
Dylan Starrs: Dylan Starrs was born in Dallas, TX and since 2005 has travelled, lived, played, written, and sung his way from San Diego, to New York, to Chicago, to Dublin, to Denver, to Austin, and now calls Santa Monica home. His songs and his voice reflect the ups, downs, lefts, rights, spoils, and toils of his travelling. The music is ingrained with a distinct and modern take on Folk music heavily influenced by a variety of songwriters including Townes Van Zandt, Van Morrison, James McMurtry, Ray Davies, Harry Nilson, Tom Waits, Jeff Tweedy, Glen Hansard, Tom Ze, Carole King, all members of The Band, Randy Newman, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, Richie Havens, and of course his namesake Bob Dylan. He has been recognized for his songwriting as a finalist for ASCAP's Robert Allen Songwriting Award and a semi-finalist for NPR's New Song Mountain Stage Songwriting Contest. Dylan's music has been featured on the Golf Channel, and CBS News 980 LA. He is currently working on his first full length LP tentatively titled "Red Flags and White Flags." Look for a Kickstarter campaign to be busking to a computer near you come July 2012, and his website to be back up and operational July 5. Currently you can find his music on this Facebook page, myspace.com/dylanstarrs, his EP the "The Terribyl 22's" is available on iTunes, and new songs are posted to his youtube channel at youtube.com/dylanstarrsmusic.
