<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b>NYCity Slickers<br /><em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Layin’ It Down</em><br />By JD Duarte</b></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
While on a road trip from their current New York home to the family’s birthplace in Mississippi, Faser Hardin and his wife Annie Chadwick, along with their daughter Abi heard the sounds of the old traditional bluegrass playing on the radio. They were so inspired by this authentic American roots music that upon returning to NYC they decided to explore this style and formed a bluegrass band.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
NYCity Slickers are an eight-piece band currently making waves in the New York country scene. While their style is rooted in traditional bluegrass, the brand this “family” band presents on their first album <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Layin’ It Down</em> shows off the unique background reflecting the range of its individual members. Having incorporated blues, rock, and various generations of country & western into their bluegrass-based songwriting, The Slickers offer a unique perspective and much-appreciated update on what is often labeled “traditional”.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With a background in theatre, the Hardin/Chadwick clan did not approach this only from the musicianship side of performance. In addition to a five-piece string band serving as the backbone, The Slickers put on one hell of a live show lead by three distinct female voices. The ladies draw the audience in through a fresh and inviting, down home welcoming presentation. Rarely do audiences stay in their seats. You’ll often find folks making way to the dance floor (even moving tables at Rodeo Bar to do so).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Layin’ It Down</em> features thirteen songs, eight of which were written by the band and their extended family. Lead vocalists Annie Chadwick and Abi Hardin each contributed two songs to album. Chadwick’s “Gin & Blues” (inspired by Willie King’s “I Am The Blues”) reflects that traditionalism while the album’s finale, “Meltdown” highlight the sultry three-part female harmonies. Abi Hardin’s “It’s All About Me” brings the frenetic nature of young country and attributes this high-energy, progressive bluegrass band.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Contributions from Varner Stomps and Barney Chadwick on foot-stomping “Locked Out” as well as “Mississippi Home” and “Weather Girl” (with Billy Chadwick) and the Reeves Jones penned “Texas Two Step” only widen the net and display the many facets of the Slicker’s talent.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In addition to their bevy of original material, The NYCity Slickers offer up killer renditions of “Rocky Top,” a reinvention of the blues epic “Marie Laveau,” and the Billy Joel classic “Travelin’ Man” (yea, <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">that</em> Billy Joel).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
With so much diversity at their fingertips as songwriters, instrumentalists, and performers, <em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Layin’ It Down</em> still has a consistency from beginning to end. And no wonder, the band recorded the album in the same way they perform- the eight members recorded live together in the studio.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #663300; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

We’re pleased to announce that Varner Stomps, one of the hottest songwriting talents on the roots music scene, has signed with our company, City Roots Publishing. When Varner resurfaced after a long absence from songwriting, we jumped at the chance to feature three Stomps originals on our new CD – “Mississippi Home,” “Weather Girl,” and “Locked Out.” And if we know Varner, there are many more just like ‘em waiting in the wings. Stomps has been writing his one-of-a-kind grassroots “art songs” for the last 30 years, so why isn’t he a household name? “Good God! I’ve probably been thrown out of just about every publishing house on Music Row,” Stomps explains, laughing.“ And if my portrait here looks better than I do in person, then compliments to my lighting crew and a rare good night’s sleep.”</div>

With 70 days to go, if we can raise $100 a day we will surpass our goal of $8,000! We need your help to do that. Remember, Kickstarter is all or nothing. If we don't raise $8,000 we get none of the money and the CD, merchandise, and the talked about tour will be majorly postponed. Don't let that happen...<br />
<br />
Any amount that you can give will be greatly appreciated. We have been greatly humbled already by the generosity of our friends & family. Your support means so much to us! <b>Your card will not be charged until the end of the campaign on Feb. 6, 2011, and only if we are successful.</b> So don't worry about it getting in the way of your holiday plans, and even better...pledge in the name of a friend or family member that loves music and/or bluegrass! We guarantee there is something for everyone! Take the NYCity Slickers home with you.<br />
