JOSH SCHICKER...
is a singer-songwriter who has been working hard to become one of independent music's most promising artists. After years of fronting rock bands, this soulful singer has found his true voice as a solo artist with roots in folk and pop styles. Schicker's music is both soothing and earnest as his strong vocals soar above melodic and unpredictable chord progressions.
Schicker has 6 solo albums to his credit, the most recent being "Faith, the Poor & Politics" in 2012. A popular blog interviewed Schicker after its release, "There are really two themes I gravitate toward as a writer: reconciliation and telling the truth. As I observe the world it occurs to me that these two subjects are at the heart of many of humanity's conflicts as well as many victories.
In the song, "Small Change", I try to reconcile the fact that there are millions of people who do not have access to clean water while I have unlimited access to it...".

-POL Compilation 2013

JACOB DEATON...
Taking his jazz and folk compositions to clubs here and abroad and rocking mainstream tunes before an audience of millions, Jacob Deaton has picked his way to becoming a multi-genre artist that is worth noting. The versatile guitarist enjoyed a new high of success in 2014, buoyed by new compositions and live performances showcasing his skills across multiple styles.
The Atlanta-based artist is fresh off a tour in Ireland and a semifinal appearance on NBC's AMERICA'S GOT TALENT with headman Jonah Smith. With that momentum in the books, all that's left is what a promising 2015 has in store.
"This past year has been a banner year for many reasons," Deaton says. "I've had the opportunity to play a historic venue in Radio City Music Hall several times to 14 million people nationally and internationally. I've worked for some of my favorite songwriters alive today, and have toured overseas with my own music and connected with fans in other countries. I'm humbled by the opportunities. And I'm ready for more in 2015."
Deaton's ongoing stint with Smith, a Los Angeles-based blues-rocker, follows a bevy of appearances with some of the top jazz artists today. The Atlanta-based artist's stage credits also include Grammy-winners Derek Trucks and Oteil and Kofi Burbridge, James Brown alum Pee Wee Eliis, Colonel Bruce Hampton, Russell Gunn, and Grant Green, Jr.
His recent success has broadened his portfolio and the records that came before, "Tribulation" (2012) and "My Home" (2014), helped establish him as a selfless bandleader and one of the most inventive and sound guitarists on the rise today.
"Playing musical prospector searching for that gold nugget can be a daunting task. Deaton makes it easy," Jazz Times says.
Most importantly, he's making it exciting.
