Now Presenting Our Artists To Watch for 2015!
Keeton Coffman
Keeton Coffman is a songwriter who evokes melodic styles and passionate lyricism reminiscent of Amos Lee, David Gray, and Bruce ringsteen. Coffman’s songs capture the imagination while weaving a melodic trail, into the soul. “Recording these songs was a form of ‘musical therapy’ for me,” says Coffman. And you hear it in each one on Coffman’s collection released August 2014 titled, “The Ghost”. The album delivers, where heartache, meets with surrender, with hopeful eyes toward the horizon. Big Fuss Records is please to introduce to you Keeton Coffman as an “Artist To Watch” for 2015 and his single “The Hunted And The Hunter.”
Nick Shaheen
Nick Shaheen is an engaging example of why folk music in the vein of Van 
Morrison, Dave Matthews, and Bob Dylan thrives today. The genre is emergent with up and coming artists, and is becoming even more relevant in the present day. Nick Shaheen “State Song” reveals a rising influence of truthful expression in a poignant appearance on the 12 song “Artists To Watch 2015″.
“State Song” demonstrates deliberate lyrical rhythms over a mix of bluegrass, folk and busker-style country. Nick Shaheen is a native of the Detroit suburb of Sterling Heights. Shaheen toyed with music a bit in his teens and early 20’s but admits to not committing to songwriting up until 2009, when he crafted a tune rather out of the blue that he couldn’t shake. After relocating to Chicago, Shaheen met up with those that would make up his backing band through Open Mic performances and connections at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music.
Memphis Belle
Memphis Belle burst onto the scene in a colorful musical affair with a consummate lead vocal led by Wisconsin-native Mary Kay Maas who is based out of Asturias, Spain. Her worldly band surrounds her on the recordings, implementing acoustic and electric vibes, sweet piano lulls, and a harmonica that enchants and adventures through Adult Contemporary, Vintage, and Soul Pop. Big Fuss Records is excited to introduce Memphis Belle to the world at large with their latest single, “Lashes” for “Artists To Watch 2015“. The group has been together since 2011 and in November 2014, they released their first self-titled EP “Memphis Belle”.

first EP and Big Fuss Records is proud to feature their single titled “Do You Feel” for Artists To Watch 2015.

The group consists of Jaimze the singer songwriter and Matt Taylor as producer, recording engineer and multi-instrumentalist. The bands unique sound goes back to the late 1960s and early 1970s and effectively captures the musical exuberance of that time.
Allison Cherise
Allison Cherise is highly regarded for her golden voice that could woo the darkest and harshest critics into grand musical love. Her first and favorite style of music was a cappella vocals. Her father was a Jazz/Scat singer in and around Michigan. Allison was the mere age of 11 when her father would bring her into clubs as he performed while she watched, and listened, and eventually would sing.
Allison’s vocal style has been compared to artists like Roberta Flack, Tracy Chapman and Phoebe Snow. Although, none truly describes the absolutely unique and beautiful artistic vocal qualities of this gifted singer/songwriter.
