The soundtrack for the film has been finalized last minute to include a variety of Texas acts. Houston, Texas production and management house, Dan Workman Music, is proud to announce three of their clients who have songs featured in the films soundtrack:
Sarah Sharp - Up-and-coming pop singer/songwriter who helmed the diversity in music supervision for this film. An independent, self-supported musician, Sharps savvy business tactics and undying dedication to her craft have earned her recognition and appreciation wherever her music is heard. After inking a deal with leading U.S. distributor RedEye, and a #1 song on Garageband.com, Sharp has become what most artists only aspire to be.
Southern Backtones - During their rush to musical maturity, the Southern Backtones have explored many styles before landing on the current line-up of music and talent. Their foundation is a powerful blend of Brit-pop and modern rock, a sound reminiscent of 80s power rockers such as The Cult and David Bowie, combined with the fresh urgency of The Killers and The Strokes. Already established in the Texas music scene, Southern Backtones recently embarked on a new musical journey resulting in a definitive album produced by Dan Workman. With a slew of positive reviews, sustained regional airplay, and tons of industry praise the band is gaining popularity across the city, state and nation.
John Evans Band, known throughout the Texas music scene and quoted as hot-rod" rockabilly, have once again re-invented the boundaries with their latest offering of musical innovation, Circling The Drain." With country roots and a love of Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, John Evans and company take a detour to the backstreets of rock and punk with a new sound reminiscent of The Old 97s and The Cramps. The combination of influences brings forth a powerful blend of styles and offers up a little something for everyone.
Dan Workman Music will host three showcases during SXSW where you can catch a glimpse of some of Texas' finest talent before hearing them in the World Premier of Drop Dead Sexy."
