Chloe and The Steel Strings
Taken from their website:
"Chloe & the Steel Strings is a 6-piece Cosmic Americana band from Toledo, OH. Acoustically driven, the Steel Strings have spent the last five years crafting their unique sound of singer-songwriter Americana with a dash of psychedelic headspace.
With weaving rhythms and gorgeous vocals built upon the harmonies of identical twin sisters Chloe & Anna, the band’s sound has been described as if “Joni Mitchell had a baby with the Flying Burrito Brothers.”
Chloe & the Steel Strings released their debut album, Burn Bright, in early 2022. The album was written and self-recorded in their living room, and touches on topics of self-actualization, finding true purpose, and following your heart. Their sophomore album Never Coming Back is scheduled to be released in mid-2024.”
You can find out more, see their touring schedule, as well as buy their latest CD “Burn Bright” at: https://chloeandthesteelstrings.com/
(- or simply click on the shopping cart icon to go to their shop page!)
You can catch their latest video “Beakin’ In Two” on youtube: Chloe and The Steel Strings, as well as find them on most streaming sites!
Here is Chloe’s latest Singer/Song-Writer release.
We live in tumultuous times, and Chloe was compelled to write a song about an issue that needs attention…
Doug Hartman
A true song-smith in his own right, Doug's compositions are an absolute wonder to watch un-fold!!
His canvas often starts out with his acoustic guitars and his voice, all via Garage Band on an iPhone...!! (And many of those iPhone tracks actually make it to the finished song...!)
With his creative vision and song-crafting abilities, it won't be long before this song-writer and his art are discovered!
Search for him on YouTube, Facebook, and pass the word around!!!
Here is “The Answer” - the latest song from the masterful mind of Doug Hartman. I wish I had room to post the lyrics!
His line: ”To know one with the answers, we could pray…” is mighty powerful stuff for our time…
Here is Doug’s latest “Arena Rocker” - entitled “Sixam” [6:00AM]:
Doug wrote this particular track “In Dreams” for his good friend struggling with ALS…
This next one is bound to be an arena Rock song - and you will be singing along before you know it…!
…and maybe even downloading that “lit flame” app to waive above your head…!
Doug wrote this one for his young son, and performed all of the guitars, including bass, and sang all of the vocals!
(The drums were based on Doug’s original concept, but I played them on the Yamaha eDrums here at RHR...)
Enjoy!
The Mickeys
Here's the newest release from Mick Hurray and The Mickeys!! This one is a cover of an old classsic Irish Folk song.
- Mick did the arrangement, as well as recorded the group’s tracks in he and his wife Anne’s home studio.
(Mick then sent the recorded files over to Rogue’s Hollow Recordings for Mixing, along with augmentation of the drums.)
The group’s performance is pure Mickey’s!
They continue to tour around and through Ohio, PA, and New York, so be sure to catch one of their energetic live shows!
You can find more information on them on-line at their website: www.themickeys.us
Holly Brunswick - with Michael Brookman
Two accomplished Folk artists perform these two heartfelt and beautiful duets.
Holly is an accomplished violinist, fiddle player, and retired music teacher and Michael’s accompaniments will show that he is also as accomplished on his 12-string acoustic guitar!
The two can be heard in the local Irish band “Celtic Rush” whose tracks are also here for your enjoyment.

Celtic Rush
With the release of “A Minstrel Christmas”, Celtic Rush show that they may very well be the finest acoustic Celtic band in the land!
Their sheer numbers make up a minstrel's symphony unlike any in this region. Their instrumentation for this CD included:
tin whistle (penny whistle), mandolin, two fiddles, an upright bass, a six-string acoustic guitar, a twelve-string acoustic guitar, and the traditional bodhran (frame drum).
If you, your friends, or family enjoy good traditional Irish/Celtic music, then you owe it to yourself to catch this group live!
Of course, if you cannot make it to a show, their CD's are available - and those make great gifts! ;)
You can find their schedule, as well as contact info at: www.celticrush.com/
The band returned to the studio to record an EP, and here is a sample of their wonderful Irish arrangements:
The Mickeys
Here's a great original track from Mick Hurray and The Mickeys! Mick, Anne, Sonny, and Wayne serve up an original Irish Rock song! As they travel through Ohio, PA, and New York, you really do need to catch one of their live shows!
And you can find them on-line at www.themickeys.us

Andrea King
Andrea King is one of those rare singer-songwriters that truly plays it as she feels it. This particular recording was made during her High School Sophomore year, and the string arrangement underneath her composition was arranged and performed by none other than the world-renowned Christopher Milo!

Hanna Croft
Hannah wanted to sing and record some of her favorite songs for her family - and the results speak for themselves!
A real lift to Hanna's success in recording these tracks was the high quality Karaoke music she found.
Though no lyrics on a monitor here - Hannah had her lyrics memorized, as all good singers do!!
Jeff Knopp
Acoustic / Americana / Folk - - - Jeff has a great down-to-earth way of looking at the world around him, and wanted that to be reflected in his unique "Folk Singer" sound.
