At the young age of 20, Sahara Smith has already been around the block once or twice. At age 15 she won second place on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion “Talent from 12-20″ contest. Now at age 21 she is ready to release her debut record, produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett (Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss’ 2008 Grammy-winning Raising Sand, The Wallflowers, Counting Crows, BoDeans, and many more). Sahara’s lyrics showcase her maturity and depth, and the recent attention she has received from big-time record producers shouldn’t surprise anyone.

In advance of her album release in the Fall of 2010 Sahara’s music and photos have since been featured in Glamour, PASTE, Seventeen, and Texas Monthly. Look for her this summer as she tours with Mason Jennings and Robert Randolph, retuning to her hometown as a featured performer at the 2010 Austin City Limits Music Festival.

Enter SPEAK, a smart-electro-pop band from Austin, TX that is poised to do some very big things. Think of the early Killers and Franz Ferdinand with healthy dose of Prince and Michael Jackson. FC+has been hired by Playing in Traffic Records to create the visual brand for Speak. Just like the a-typical maturity of their music SPEAK already embraces an engaging visual style.
