Robert Cotnoir (Grapefruit Sound Lab) BIO

With influences ranging from quintessential freestyle, electro, and house, to classic rock, and back again through the classical repertoire, New York native Robert Cotnoir has seamlessly honed a sound that is at once both comforting and familiar, all while being undoubtedly of the times. His songwriting is pensive, self-referential and philosophical with themes about pleasure seeking, wandering souls, loss, pride, jealousy, redemption, salvation, and the struggle between faith and fact, spirit and mind, good and evil. Riding the success of a distinguished career as one of Hollywood’s top award-winning motion picture music editors, Robert is honored and humbled by his collaboration with Amuka, Sarah Naughton, Gina Volpe, and everyone who has contributed their time and talent to this project.  He is looking forward to what the future has in store, especially the release of the full length Grapefruit Sound Lab album Eight Days Across America on vinyl.

Gina Volpe – BIO (Shine – singer/ songwriter;)
Guitarist, singer, songwriter and visual artist Gina Volpe may be best known from the band she started back in high school, the legendary NYC punk outfit, Lunachicks. But Volpe has firmly established herself as a solo artist since the release of her 2017 debut solo EP, Different Animal which includes her single Shine.  An explosive, and exhilarating collection blending analog and electronic elements into a thoroughly modern sound. Followed up by 2019’s ambitious release of six monthly singles in a project entitled, Winter To Spring, Volpe has upped the ante with each single claiming it’s own story, style and mood that showcases her unmistakably signature sound.
