[From All Music.com-Thom Jurek] Sue Foley is a Canadian guitarist, singer, songwriter and bandleader based in Austin, Texas. Her trademark instrument is a pink paisley Fender Telecaster. She signed with Antone's Records for her 1992 acclaimed debut album Young Girl Blues, and followed with Without a Warning a year later. Foley's wicked lead guitar made her a rarity among blueswomen at the time. She signed to Shanachie for 1998's Ten Days In November, then returned to live in Canada where 2000's Love Comin' Down won a Juno award. In 2001 Foley started a music history project called Guitar Woman based on dozens of interviews she conducted with the world’s leading female guitarists. Between 2001-2008, she wrote articles, organized and promoted concerts, and worked on a book. After 2002's acclaimed Where The Action Is... she left Shanachie for Germany's Ruf Records where she issued two solo outings: 2004's Change and 2006's now-classic, New Used Car. She issued Time Bomb in collaboration with label mates Deborah Coleman and Roxanne Potvin in 2007. The Guitar Woman project went dormant between 2009-2015 while Foley cut two albums for Blind Pig with guitarist Peter Karp (He Said, She Said, 2010 and Beyond The Crossroads, 2012) and attended university to earn a graduate degree. She returned to Austin in 2018 and released The Ice Queen for Canada's Stony Plain in 2018, and played in a supergroup with Billy Gibbons, Jimmie Vaughan, and organist Mike Flanigin. Foley released Pinky's Blues in 2021.
Foley was born in Ottowa, Ontario in 1968. She spent her early childhood in Canada longing for her father's guitar. She learned to play at age 13, became interested in blues from listening to the Rolling Stones and other blues and roots rock bands. She played her first professional gig at 16.

[From All Music.com-Stephen Thomas Erlewine] Possessing a honeyed twang and an enduring affection for the smoother sounds of '90s country, Kolby Cooper wasn't as gritty as some of his peers on the Red Dirt circuit of the Southwest during the last days of the 2010s. His underlying sweetness and way with pop hooks, evident on the LPs Good Ones Never Last (2019) and Boy from Anderson County to the Moon (2022), helped earn him earn a loyal fan base and millions of streams.
Kolby Cooper
To The Moon
Born and raised in the small east Texas town of Bradford -- he'd later claim nearby Palestine as his hometown -- Kolby Cooper started playing guitar at the age of 12, inspired equally by classic country and '90s alt rock. His adolescence turned out to be tumultuous. His father died of cancer when Cooper was 14 and shortly afterward, he started writing songs, eventually finding his way to local talent competitions. When he was 18, he became a father and husband in short order. Initially, he planned to attend nursing school but decided to give the music business a shot. Four months after graduating Cayuga High School, he entered the studio. One of his earliest tunes, "Every Single Kiss," became his first single in 2017 and it was followed quickly by his first EP, the appropriately titled Vol. 1, in 2018.

Element Eighty got started in 1998 and self-released their debut album Mercuric in June of 2001 through Pale Star Records. In April 2003, the band signed a deal with Universal/Republic Records. Their self-titled album Element Eighty was came out in October of 2003. The band toured with Sevendust, Mudvayne, 3 Doors Down, Slipknot, Shinedown, Korn, Hellyeah, Ill Niño, Flaw, 40 Below Summer and Mushroomhead. The song "Broken Promises" was featured on the Need for Speed: Underground video game soundtrack. The song also peaked at No. 36 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock charts.
After several months of touring, the band could see that their label had no interest in pushing the band – there was no music video or any kind of promotion. The band would later split with Universal/Republic late 2004. Soon after their departure, original bassist Roon decided to leave the band to attend college and later graduate study in biomedical research. He was later replaced by Zack Bates, formerly of the band Bullet Ant.
Element Eighty
Broken Promises
Element Eighty has reunited in 2021 after reluctantly disbanding in 2009 due to what many say were overwhelming life circumstances. After they parted ways, all members continued on their own musical journeys; steady gigging with a variety of successful acts and solo projects. After a 12-year-silence, Element Eighty decided that 2021 was time for a full relaunch and began working on a new album slated for release in 2023. They released a new version of their song "Ego" on December 3, 2021, and released the new single "Mountain" on September 9, 2022. After 14 years, the band finally released the long awaited new album “A.D.” on June 23, 2023.
