Grace Woodroofe - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
“Grace Woodroofe has a voice made for melancholy and danger: a husky, bluesy alto that lingers over each aching phrase of a ballad…” – New York Times, Jan 2012
“Life is good (musically speaking). 2 of the best debuts of 2011 on stage tonight in LA: @frank_ocean and @gracewoodroofe,” - Chris Douridas, KCRW
“From her a cappella version of Son House’s “Grinnin’ in Your Face’’ to the full-band attack on the Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,’’ opener Grace Woodroofe sang like a woman possessed and trying to exorcise herself by sheer force of will. The result was captivating, like watching Fiona Apple if she were Jack White.” – Boston Globe
“The most thrilling performance we saw was by Australian singer Grace Woodroofe, whose midnight show crammed in the corner of the Masses' main office was a pretty incredible statement of purpose...Woodroofe's sturdy and mournful songs fit that atmosphere...powerful, dynamic, striking.” - LA Weekly

Lucy Schwartz - (Set time: 8:00 PM)
Lucy Schwartz recently released a 6-track EP called Keep Me and is currently working on her third full-length album—due out in 2012!
Schwartz is a 22-year-old Los Angeles-based artist, with big dreams, a colorful imagination, and a knack for writing songs that translate to the big screen. Her music has graced movie theaters and TV sets all around the world. Lucy says, "What I love most about the challenge of writing for film is that you have to put yourself into the lens of a different character and always end up with a song that you would never have written otherwise. One form of art inspires another form of art". Most recently, she co-wrote a brooding medieval ballad entitled, "Cold", with British artist Aqualung, for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Lucy began writing songs for films when she was a teenager in high school. At age 18 she wrote both the opening-title song and end-credit song for the Meg Ryan film The Women. Since then, she has written original songs for Shrek Forever After, Mother & Child, Post Grad, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and had music featured in the films Monte Carlo, Adam, and a multitude of television shows. She also penned the international theme song for NBC's show Parenthood. Plus, Fun Fact: The fake-British-chanteuse of "Mr. F" and "For British Eyes Only" on Arrested Development is, in truth, the voice of Lucy.
Lucy Schwartz toured with Lilith Fair alongside Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow and has opened for Moby, The Weepies, Brandi Carlile, The Civil Wars, A Fine Frenzy, Agnes Obel, Toad the Wet Sprocket and The Belle Brigade.
Lucy is also dedicated to making the world a better place through music: she has worked with Charity Water, CHOC Children's Hospital, Rock n Roll Camp for Girls, Songs of Love for Japan, and Symphony of Hope: The Haiti Project and hopes to continue to be involved in projects that bring hope, light, and laughter to others.

COYOL - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
COYOL is a collision of the old Southwest and the new Los Angeles. A seemingly contradictory duo, COYOL is a beautiful juxtaposition between polished and poignant vocalist, Celeigh Champan, and unrefined, avant-garde artist, John Isaac Watters.
