Connecticut Style 8 - Singer/Songwriter Wolf Critton welcomes his listeners into a life of pain, understanding, and triumph. Drawing from his youthful experiences growing up in the church near his home, Critton found inspiration from his musically-driven mother who lead the choir since he was three years old. As a teenage, Critton chose to follow the path of life that most wild teens do. However, Wolf quickly learned how to survive in the mean streets of New York; and in a twist of fate, found himself enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served as a soldier in Iraq. His experience on the battlefield and the death of his friend and teacher of the acoustic guitar taught him to understand how fragile life can be.

WE THE PEOPLE: “We The People thank TMG for such a well organized and successful SXSW experience. We are proud to be apart of such an innovative and talented group of professionals. It was an honor for our band to represent TMG at their first SXSW showcase.” JUSTIN CROSS: “Wow, what to say about SXSW… First off, it was an honor to even be asked to come and take part in the showcase at Friends Bar. To be surrounded by so many musicians and music enthusiasts was a bit overwhelming at first, but I got into the spirit of things very quickly. To see such a broad range of musical styles all together in one city and such a wide range of people coming out just to hang out with one another and listen to tunes was awesome. Austin itself was a beautiful city to play music in and I hope, through the contacts I made while I was there, that I get the chance to go back soon. The Variance Showcase was a blast and it was great to get to mingle with the other bands and encourage one another in what we were all trying to do with our lives and music. All I can really say is that I was honored and thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to possibly do it again next year!” MICHELLE BUZZ: “Michelle & I would like to express our deepest appreciation to all of you for allowing Michelle to participate in The Variance Showcase. Michelle’s “Texas Swing” was very successful. It was great playing and meeting new folks in Austin, I thought I heard someone say the lead singer of Neon Trees was impressed with Michelle. We are looking forward to promoting her as a showcase artist next year (no moss growing under our feet, Ha!).”
