What happens musically with an unconventional yet a stellar meeting of the minds with the super talented Australian singer and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte, New York's very own electric Jazz-Blues plectorist Oz Noy and Atlanta based drummer Darren Stanley? It's called Ozone Squeeze and is one of music's hottest new bands today. This project encompasses all the jazz, blues, rock and pop background that these guys brings to the table. Oz Noy, probably the most well known among them all, having made an profound presence in the world of guitar, jazz and blues who has toured or recorded with Eric Johnson, Warren Haynes, John Medeski, Dave Weckl, Keith Carlock, Will Lee, Fred Wesley, Randy Brecker and so many others. On this outing Oz Noy takes a different musical approach based around great songs and compositions, as well as the singing of Rai Thistlethwayte, while Darren holds it all together with equal parts grace and funk. Ozone Squeeze is vocal-driven rock for the 21st Century while still being sophisticated and gutsy enough for the jazzers and funkateers. Album Tracks 1. Wavelength 2. I Got You View 3. The Dimming 4. Rainbow Tree 5. Only Love Can Break Your Heart 6. Next to Nowhere 7. Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime 8. Squeeze It

Produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit) and recorded with an all-star team of Omaha musicians including Conor Oberst and members of Bright Eyes, The Faint, and Cursive, Cold Snap is Anthony D'Amato's most ambitious, incisive, and sophisticated collection yet, with a larger-than-life sound propelled by dual drummers, explosive guitars, infectious hooks, and erudite lyrics. Written primarily during a touring hiatus forced by a broken finger, the songs explore the schisms between perception and reality, projection and truth, who we are and how we're seen. The record follows his 2014 New West debut, The Shipwreck From The Shore, which was inspired in part by his time studying with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Irish poet Paul Muldoon and earned raves on both sides of the pond, with NPR lauding that Inchhe writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh RitterInch and Uncut proclaiming that his songwriting Inchechoes with early Bob Dylan.Inch USA Today declared that it Inchstrikes every right note,Inch SPIN praised the way he Inchturns heartbreak into cheery folk,Inch andEntertainment Weekly said the music Inchcalls to mind Simon & Garfunkel's more amped-up moments.Inch Songs from the record collectively cracked more than two million plays on Spotify and turned up on ABC's hit series Nashville, while the album earned additional love everywhere from the New York Times and WSJ to NY Mag and Billboard. D'Amato hit the road hard for a year straight to promote the album, touring on three continents and sharing bills with Ben Folds, Josh Ritter, Rhett Miller, Justin Townes Earle, Bleachers, and more along the way, as well as performing at the Americana Festival in Nashville (where his set was listed among NPR's favorite performances of the year) and Mumford & Sons' Gentlemen of the Road Stopover.
