Phil Dudley is an independent artist based in Birmingham, Alabama. As a third-generation musician, playing was not so much a choice as a calling, having been an integral part of his life for as long as he can remember. With influences drawing from Celtic Folk, Americana, Rock, Pop and Jazz, Phil Dudley Band blends these influences seamlessly, incorporating the styles of many of his favorite artists and bands such as Kansas, Boston, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Loreena McKennitt, Eddie Vedder and Jamie Cullum to create a musical tapestry that reflects his individualistic style. The Phil Dudley Band is made up of four core

members; Phil Dudley, Jack Dudley, Erich Cousins and William

Yarbrough.

Nordik Fire, the latest project of acclaimed violinist and singer Bethany Borg, offers listeners an energetic electronic and rock fusion that uses violin to replace traditional duties of rhythm and lead guitars. Coupled with evocative vocals, the music carries us from a traditional electronic experience into soaring leads of a rock and jam based improvisational world. Bethany has teamed up with Atlanta based hip-hop producer Billy Hume to bring this project to unconventional and ear pleasing results.

Bethany picked up the violin at age two, won her first of ten state fiddle championships at age eight, and placed third in the national fiddle championship at seventeen. Also trained in classical and jazz, she has played venues with various groups, touring throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
