Tiziano Dominico is a singer, songwriter, and visual artist living in Houston, TX. Tiziano grew up in the Northside of Houston in a very loving home as the son of an artist who encouraged and nurtured Tiziano’s creative expression in both music and art. Tiziano has been in several bands, most notably georgia’s Horse.

After receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy (with a focus in both Eastern thought and Analytical Philosophy) and Psychology, traveling abroad and experiencing many adventures, Tiziano has chosen songwriting to be his main form of artistic and creative expression. His subject matter ranges from the literal to the abstract, all stemming from the most elemental and contemplative aspects of our human experience.

Tiziano creates his songs with only his guitar and his voice. Despite his dedication to this bare-bones method of songcraft, he firmly believes that performing and collaborating with musicians of technical goodness, aesthetic appeal, and high creativity are the necessary conditions for elevating his songs to their full musical potential.

Tiziano Dominico is: Matt Willhelm – Bass, Backing Vocals , Omar Felker -Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals, Pastor Oropeza – Drums, Percussions and Backing Vocals and Tiziano Dominico – Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals.

“It’s an EP that bursts with youthful energy, a lush and varied sound, smart arrangements, and some damn catchy songs” -Free Press Houston”Featherface does the near-impossible-in my book, at least-by taking loose-limbed, organic, all-over-the-map psych-rock and marrying it to full-on, wide-grinning, right-in-your-ear arena-pop. And, against all odds, making it work amazingly, awesomely well in the process.” - Space City Rock”Out of nowhere these guys came out with an album that is honestly undeniably one of the best albums of the year.” - Indie Houston”Guitars occasionally peal out toward faraway corners, or organ notes will shudder against thin metal walls, adding a textural richness to Featherface’s adventurous sound.” - We All Make Music

“Featherface also carves out a similar corner of the subtle and textured musical universe, but without the obvious radio-ready choruses. Their sound is woozy, almost psychedelic with soft synthesizers, slide guitar and reverbed vocals.” - 979 Represent

Deep Cuts is a band from Houston, Texas. We are meticulously writing music for a release sometime in 2012. Deep Cuts jams hard as hell, channeling vibes from country to latin jazz to surf to oldies. They play first and you’ve probably never heard of them but you should get stoked and be early regardless.
