manner guaranteed to warm the hardest heart."

Featuring
- Whitton
This must see artist has won numerous awards including
"Best Female Acoustic Rock Artist" by the New York Music
Festival and has been featured as a guest vocalist on
Showtime's Emmy-Nominated hit series "Dexter". Heralded
as having the spirit of a gypsy and the discipline of a
soldier, Whitton fuses a flare of Pop Vintage Americana
mixed with unique commercial hooks. Whitton's 2010 EP
celebrates the song placement of "Apple Tree" in the 2011
film release, "The 5th Quarter", (starring Andie MacDowell,
Aidan Quinn, & Ryan Merriman), where she performs with
a full 10 piece big band.
