Matt Duke is a South Jersey-bred singer/songwriter currently signed to Drexel University's student-run record label, MAD Dragon Records, and Rykodisc. Duke began playing piano at the age of seven, and by ten he developed a deep love for the arts. Inspired by artists such as Van Morrison, The Band, and Pearl Jam, he taught himself how to play his mother's vintage guitar. Duke spent his high school years at Philadelphia's St. Joseph's Prep, where he was exposed to Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, Tool, and Damien Rice. Impressed by their poignant lyrics and musical ambition, Duke started writing and performing at coffee houses in Philadelphia area. By the winter of 2004, Duke recorded his first demo, which landed him placement in MAD Dragon Records compilation CD XYX.

Soon after, XM Satellite Radio's "The Loft" (Channel 50) added Duke's songs from XYX into its rotation. Duke's songs were among the most requested at The Loft, joining Bruce Springsteen and Ben Harper for six weeks at the top spot. These placements helped MAD Dragon Records secure national distribution through Rykodisc. In late 2005, Duke entered the studio to record his debut LP, Winter Child for MAD Dragon Records. He released this LP in September 2006. Winter Child was co-produced by Stewart Lerman (Loudon Wainwright, Dar Williams) and Steuart Smith (The Eagles, Shawn Colvin) at The Shinebox Studios in New York City.

Andrea Nardello's music can be described with one word: power. Power in the studio; power in her soaring melodies; power in her lyrics; and power on stage. Embracing joy, love, camaraderie, and lusty encounters, Andrea’s songs are punctuated with strong rhythms - all delivered by her unique voice.

"My Aeroplane," Nardello's sophomore release, was under consideration for a Grammy Nomination for 2010. Produced by Aaron Levinson, “My Aeroplane” takes listeners on a ride through clear skies and rumbling thunderclouds. On it, Nardello explores romance, family, and friendship with her signature sophistication and simplicity. Working within the singer-songwriter genre with the soul and passion of Janis Joplin and Carole King, Nardello cuts across the boundaries of the folk genre. Her lyric sensibility is reminiscent of the best poets of rock, pop and hiphop, ensnaring fans up and down both coasts and across the South.

Lovers of her music in Philly, West Virginia and Atlanta have packed her shows for years, and she is making a name for herself on Music Row in Nashville, having been invited onstage at several venues, fronting Jay Brunswick and Craig Curtis, among others. Concert-goers in Seattle, the French Quarter of New Orleans, and Kentucky have also been thrilled by Andrea Nardello's exquisite music and powerful stage performances.

Andrea is currently writing material for her 3rd studio album, due in 2013.
