Chisato is the renowned guitarist for the visual kei band PENICILLIN. He begun his solo career in the late 90's with the album ORGANIC GROOVER.

Eric Hisaw is an Austin singer-songwriter, originally from New Mexico. While at home in alt.country & folk circles, he's not your usual later-day hippie. Says John Conquest (3rd Coast Music), "Anyone who looks less like the stereotypical songwriter would be hard to imagine- if he'd shown at Folk Alliance, people would probably have assumed he was there to do something useful, like move stacks of speakers, but Hisaw has the soul of a poet and the heart of a rock & roller." .
