Singer/songwriter Eric Brace is one of the most acclaimed artists in the Americana world. His latest release, "Master Sessions" (with Peter Cooper) is garnering the best reviews of Brace's career. Its evocative songs and its astonishing instrumental work, courtesy of pedal steel legend Lloyd Green and dobro ace Mike Auldridge, are raising eyebrows and catching ears worldwide.

Since 1997, Eric Brace has been the frontman and songwriter for the acclaimed roots-rock band Last Train Home. With eight CDs and one live concert DVD to its credit, LTH is one of the most prolific and admired bands in the Americana music world. At the core of the band's sound are Eric's evocative songs and his warm voice. "Brace's tenor, when combined with his lyrics which evoke endless late nights on the prairies without ever specifically referring to them, is one of the treasures of the whole Americana genre," says roots-rock great Sid Griffin (Long Ryders, Coal Porters) in a review in the peerless British music magazine MOJO.

Eric Brace's main musical outlet is his duo work with Peter Cooper.

Cooper, who has his own solo career as a singer/songwriter, is also the music writer for Nashville's Tennessean newspaper. When Eric moved to Nashville in 2004, the two became fast friends, a friendship solidified in Peter's living room listening to Tom T. Hall, Willis Alan Ramsey, the Seldom Scene, Charley Pride, and Bear Family box sets while pouring screw top red wine. There were so many influences in common, it was inevitable that they'd soon be performing live together.

Eric and Peter were nominated for a GRAMMY earlier this year in the Best Children's Album category for "I Love: Tom T Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow" and although they didn't win it is seen as rightful recognition for their musical talent.

Formed in 2003, the award-winning The Good Intentions are R. Peter Davies, Gabrielle Monk, and Fransesco Roskell. The band's music is based around acoustic instrumental and three part harmony sounds, playing Alt Country, Americana, and Bluegrass, with all songs on their debut album, and their newly released second album Someone Else's Time, being written by Peter.

In the last two years The Good Intentions have moved from smaller venues in the north of England to playing music festivals in the UK, as well as touring The Netherlands and the USA.

In October 2011 The Good Intentions won Americana Act of the Year at the British Country Music Awards - a real testimony to their professional musicianship and well-crafted songs.
