The duo’s well received !Signs was recorded at Rear Window Studio in Brookline, MA and features a lineup of heavy hitters including Tony Mason on drums (Norah Jones, Joan Osbourne), Marty Ballou on bass (Martin Sexton, Jimmy Witherspoon), Milt Reder on guitar (Bo Didley), John Aruda on saxophone (Alice Cooper), Scott Aruda on trumpet (The Temptations), Eggui Castrillo on percussion (Allman Brothers, Arturo Sandoval), and Tom West on piano (Susan Tedeschi).
Their music has appeared on the following prime time television shows: “The Forgotten," on ABC; "Missing," on Lifetime; and "The Cleaner," on A&E.
"Dwight & Nicole are a refreshingly honest act that moves from R&B to silky soul, with hints of rock, gospel, and swampy blues. The music is diverse, but it all fits seamlessly on this strong new disc. It’s a tour de force that demands much wider success. ...poignant...hard driving... and heavenly"

Jesse Dee
Jesse Dee’s influences read like a Who’s Who of classic soul music. Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Etta James, Al Green and many others. But Jesse Dee is not just a student of the classics. He also loves the new wave of rootsy artists –James Hunter, Amos Lee and John Legend, among them.
“Soul music has always hit me harder than any other kind of music,’’ says the Boston-based Jesse, who has learned his lessons well. He puts a convincing new spin on the subject with his debut solo disc, “Bittersweet Batch,’’ which should please anyone with a love of this heartfelt style. Jesse adds a stunning vocal expressiveness and a unique ability to inject and dissect emotions. He delivers it all with a warmth that comes from analog recording and from cutting a lot of the songs live in the studio.
