Sonia Leigh brings an electrifying excitement to the stage with her unbridled passion and rebellious charm. She easily and immediately establishes a bond with her audience through the sincerity of her haunting voice, soulful lyrics, excellent musicianship and sultry appearance. Although Sonia stands only 5′4”, her powerful stage presence belies her petite stature. Sonia Leigh’s bloodlines run deep in country music (her grandfather was a musician and songwriter) but she soon discovered Blues and Rock and Roll. As a toddler, Sonia banged away on her father’s guitar and by the age of 10, he had taught her chords and strumming techniques. Sonia was drawn to artists from various musical backgrounds, including Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Lightning Hopkins, Brownie McGhee, Bruce Springsteen to Melissa Etheridge, The Cure, Everclear, and even Tupac. This musical upbringing serves as the foundation for what has become the unique sound of Sonia Leigh.

and embarked on a rigorous tour schedule through the Southeast that would last two years. On the strength of the band's energetic performances, Cravin' Melon sold over 20,000 copies of their indie release, "Where I Wanna Be". With word on the street about the live shows, and the band's cutting-edge presence on this "new fad" called "the internet", it wasn't long before the major labels came calling. In 1996 the band inked a deal with Mercury and in January 1997 released its debut , "Red Clay Harvest". Constant touring coupled with the major-label release more than tripled their sales base. The next two years saw them emerging as a Southern power-house, packing clubs headlining the star-rich Jim Valvano celebrity V-Jam, and pocketing the 1998 South Carolina Band of the Year Award. Previous recipients include James Brown and Hootie And The Blowfish.

Scott Momaday's In The Bear's House just as likely influences the songstress as the violence and destructive sexuality of the Depression-era characters in Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road" (Paste Magazine), as well as the Songs In The Night LP (2009), of which Rolling Stone critic Will Hermes wrote: "Her voice is gorgeously odd — all fulsome, shape-shifting vowels that do indeed billow like fog. But while her moody country rock is full of dark themes, she rarely gives in to them."

Tradition is defined as "The handing down of a belief, legend, or custom from generation to generation". The Swingin' Medallions, a 47-year Southern tradition, are a living definition of the word.

Now in her twenties, she writes deep, folksy, catchy, soul-baring music that has drawn comparisons to Over the Rhine, Brandi Carlile, Feist, and Norah Jones but remains uneasily pigeonholed, with flavors of gospel, soul, pop, and americana blending together to make a fabulous swirly, sweet sound all her own. Folks everywhere are taking notice too, as her song "Keep it Simple" was recently featured on NBC's hit show, "Mercy" and she's been asked to open shows for Landon Pigg, Patrick Davis, Katie Herzig and Langhorne Slim. She has three independent releases under her belt, 2006’s EP “Storms of Summer”; 2008’s LP “Into the Black”, produced by Grammy Award winner Mitch Dane; and summer of 2009 witnesses the release of her third project, a stripped down, acoustic EP entitled "Somewhere in Between."

After deciding to pursue a professional music career, he joined the Charles Miller group until 1965 when he made the move to Chicago to work with recording artist/saxophonist A. C. Reed.

In late 1966, at age 24, came the opportunity of a lifetime to join the Muddy Waters Band and help shape the electric blues sound that inspired the rock and roll movement of the late 60's and early 70's. Regular guests of the band included Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, and Elvin Bishop. The Muddy Waters Band (as a unit) shared the stage with the likes of Howlin' Wolfe, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, and Big Mama Thornton just to name a few. During this time, Mac played on John Lee Hooker's "live "album, Live at the Café Au Go-Go, as well as Otis Spann's classic recording "The Blues is Where It's At".

After more than a year with Muddy Waters, Mac formed the Soul Invaders which backed up many artists, including The Temptations and B. B. King. In the early 70's, he moved Los Angeles to work at ABC Television and LAFF RECORDS (Redd Foxx). This led to working on the set of Soul Train from 1971 to 1975 and then working with Bill Withers ("Lean On Me") before moving back to South Carolina in the 80s.

Mac now resides in Pelzer, SC, where at the age of ten he got his first taste of the blues when he learned to play his brother Leroy's home-made guitar. Going back to his roots. Mac is serving up a mess of Blues with his own band, "Mac Arnold & Plate Full O' Blues". The band consists of Danny Keylon on bass and vocals, Austin Brashier on guitar and vocals, Max Hightower on keyboards, harmonica, guitar, and vocals, Mike Whitt on drums, and Mac Arnold on vocals, bass and Gas Can Guitars.

Kingslyn starts the project in it's home town of Columbia on August 29th and will hopefully piggy back off the success of Marry a Thief into regional and national markets. With a sound that's a lot closer to Counting Crows, and newer outfits like Augustana than the pop sound that was Marry a Thief, Kingslyn hopes to get back to Erich's more pure roots of singing and songwriting. Kingslyn is as loud as it is passionate and as rambunctious as it is heartfelt.
