Charlee (Charlotte Ruse) has been making jewelry for over 20 years. One day, when at an arts & crafts festival, she saw a pair of earrings and, noting the price, she thought, "I can make that." So she went to a class, learned how to wrap jewelry and that was that. After doing arts and crafts festivals for more years than she cares to admit to, Charlotte decided, "Enough with this hauling stuff all over the state." She began selling her wares to shops in Northern California, hired a couple friend...

Listening to the old-school country songs and honest back porch voice of Amber Cross has been likened to putting an archival Smithsonian recording on the turntable. Hers is an authentic voice, both in sound and feeling. She writes from her own life’s struggles and experiences, with great power and emotion and a sense of place. Originally from Maine, Cross spent her early years surrounded by gospel music in a small town church where her father preached and her mother played piano. Today she lives on California’s central coast, where she spe...

It’s often true that parents and their offspring have different ideas about what constitutes “good music”. Perhaps I lucked out, having grown up with Gary Mazzola and Joy Gray, both talented songwriters and musicians, as parents. Music was something personal, made right there in our home. Some of my earliest memories include the harmony of their voices, the strumming of guitars and their creative lyrics. While I can’t speak for how they may have felt about some of my music choices growing up, I feel privileged to say that the music they ma...
