About the Artist
Eugene IV, born and raised in southwest Atlanta, is a multi-talented vocalist, musician, songwriter, actor, and educator. He began playing sax at age 9 and has been writing rhymes since elementary school. Eugene IV has played with bands for the National Black Arts Festival, Auburn Street Festival, Funk Jazz Café, and even the Atlanta-Montreaux Music Festival. Eugene IV is a former member of the hip-hop duo not-r-selz, who often performed with Gotee recording artists GRITS and collaborated with Shawn J. Period (producer of songs for Mos Def, Beastie Boys, & the Lyricist Lounge compilation). The group had songs in heavy rotation on Spiritual Vibe {Atlanta's Hot 97 (now Hot 107)}; and was featured on numerous albums, including several underground hip-hop compilations. Eugene IV began acting at Tennessee State University, where he earned a B.S. degree in Biology. About a year after graduation, he canceled plans for grad school to pursue the arts full-time. Since then, he has performed in countless professional theatre productions (A Raisin in the Sun, Fences, Ain't Misbehavin', etc.), commercials/industrials (Doctor's Hospital, Walt Disney Tribute to Eartha Kitt, etc.) and television (Mama Flora's Family, Trumpet Awards, etc.). Eugene IV regularly works as a substitute teacher in schools throughout Atlanta. He feels equally accountable to both his students and other potential audiences. "I feel a responsibility to positively affect the lives of the listeners," says Eugene IV about his current project, Starving Artist. Starving Artist is his debut solo album, and was chosen as the 1st album to be released by the internationally acclaimed Youth Ensemble of Atlanta, of which he is an alumnus. Starving Artist has been described as a soulful hip-hop album combining the musicality of jazz and soul with the rhythms of Hip Hop and the words of a poet. "My musical inspirations run the gamut from Public Enemy and De La Soul to Earth, Wind & Fire and Wayne Shorter," says Eugene IV. Starving Artist is scheduled for worldwide release in May of 2005. Starving Artist features a special appearance from Arrested Development's Baba Oje. The twelve original tracks also include a powerhouse of musical talent from the vocal stylings of Julie Dexter to Atlanta-based musicians Takana Miyamoto, Khari Cabral Simmons and Divinity. Starving Artist was engineered by Alex Lowe who has also worked with OutKast, Sunny Emory and many others.

Starving Artist is a powerful combination of explosive music and powerfully positive messages of empowerment, responsibility and redemption. "I know, and have known since well before adulthood, that I've been called to make music that cries for social change. As the child of parents who were directly involved in the Civil Rights Movement, I feel it's in my blood to, at the very least, speak out against injustice."

Album Description

Instrumental trio Green Light is drummer Adam Snow, bassist Dustin Hofsess, and guitarist Kevin Gill. This is a band that is coming from many different places musically. As a result, the Green Light audience is made up of an interesting variety of people: jazzers and rockers, the folky and the funky, hippies and computer programmers, the drunk and the devout... Each of them finds something about Green Light's music that draws them into the swirling vortex of energy that this band creates.

The group draws from a deep well of influences. Some key points of departure are: the spirituality, intense energy, and exploratory improvisation of saxophone master John Coltrane; the raw blues-rock power, and psychedelic colors of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd; the funky rhythmic tension and down- home soul of the Meters and Sly & the Family Stone; the groundbreaking jazz/rock/funk fusion of Miles Davis; the beautiful reggae grooves of Bob Marley & the Wailers. As well as drawing inspiration from these relatively well known artists, Green Light infuses their music with sounds from all over the globe, including African, Indian, Middle Eastern, Cuban, and Brazilian musical elements.

Green Light music is powerful, raw, soulful, mysterious, spontaneous, positive and life-affirming. This is music made for people who long for originality and unadulterated creativity. To experience Green Light is to be taken on a consciousness-expanding trip

5 out of 5 stars flows, goes, and blows my mind.......2005-09-27

very very melodic, the jams are eccentric in a good mellow, fasinating way that captivates you and almost holds you in the music not letting you turn it off or down. the musicianship is superb. i would most deffinantly recommend getting this cd if you are any fan of music at all, you will not be let down i promise. the three in the band know what they are doing and know how they are doing it. you will not get tired of them. the media reviews are not misleading at all latin, jazz, african, cuban, its all there in the music. music lovers beware... you may have just found your new favorite band

This 15 song collection of hot up temp grooves and smooth seductive ballads is timeless and will leave you under the spell of Us3.

    1 out of 5 stars This is not Us3.......2004-07-05

    Don't buy this if you think it's by the hip-hop jazzers Us3 cos it ain't. It's a 2 bit R&B group that can't even stay in tune. Isn't there a law against this? I wanna refund!

    5 out of 5 stars Us3: Bringing the Heat.......2004-07-04

    This Us3 album keeps your attention from the very start. With hypnotizing tracks and captivating lyrics, what more could you ask for in an album? And these guys give something to everybody. The ladies, fellas, streets, colleges, kids, teenagers, and older adults will all be able to say that Us3 touched on what they're either feeling or have felt at one point or another. Although this is an R&B album, I can hear many different influences and genres in their music. Still what is interesting is that they are able to draw from all of those influences without sounding all over the place. And it comes just in time for the summer. While the temperature is rising outside, Us3 is bringing the heat inside the car. I know this is one CD that I'll definitely be dropping the top to this year.

      Album Description

      Each of their songs is its own entity; a placement of provocative poetic imagery within a unique and sultry groove. Lindsey's lyrics have the youthful narrative quality of an early Jackson Brown; the musical arrangements have the sophisticated simplicity of a later Joni Mitchell. The band's performances have been described as intense and personal. The honesty of the lyrics consistantly captivate an audience. Lindsey's songs have been described as sad and tough, yet they are supported by the band's strong yet subtle sound. In any case, The Lindsey Horne Band is a serious and sensual listening experience.
