Vinyl Artist Management
“An early start working with artists Josh Kelley and Joshua Radin whet Michael Gewirtzman’s desire to form his own management company. Today, under Gewirtzman, 25, New York-based Vinyl Artist Management is building buzz and growing national and international distribution for rock act Long Since Forgotten, popstar Jon Asher and singer/songwriter Sam Grow using practices that represent new-era industry teamwork at its finest. “I only work with artists who want to be extremely involved in their careers. We sit down, come up with a list of goals we want to accomplish together, combine our list of references and hit the pavement,” Gewirtzman says. “I took a leap of faith forming this company, but there are so many artists out there who deserve recognition.” - Billboard Magazine, 8/23/08
Sam Grow
“‘‘Ignition” presents Grow in a variety of forms. There’s everything from the catchy hooks of the autobiographical ‘‘O So Jaded” to modern rock and nearly folk rock, to the soul-gospel of ‘‘Lethal Deep” or ‘‘Cruzin.” Behind it all is Grow’s rich voice — powerful, soulful and truly original.” - SoMdNews.com
Everlea
“Unbridled and enthusiastically sound pop-rock. Everlea has arrived.” - Frantik Magazine
“Intelligent mix of rock and pop with catchy melodies, intricate musical arrangements, and insightful lyrics.” - SmartPunk.com
Jackie Tohn
“If you combine the songwriting skills of Laura Nyro, the gutsy earthiness of Janis Joplin, and the cool, bohemian style of Rickie Lee Jones, you’ll have some idea of Jackie Tohn. And, though some may think those references are dated, you have to go back that far to find artistry this good. Smart, insightful, and in your face, her acoustic rock material is utterly compelling.Tohn’s command of her guitar is striking, and is as expressive as her voice. From low, guttural murmurings to sweet purrs, Tohn’s vocals are some of the most enchanting you’re likely to hear. She totally captivated the crowd. Summary: This young artist is a star in the making. Jackie Tohn has a special gift and there are not many like her.” - Music Connection Magazine
Cas Haley
“Haley, at 26, is capable of writing about mature concepts and doesn’t rely solely on the old standbys of passion and lost love for lyrical inspiration” - Jambase
Long Since Forgotten
“They are fully anointed as heirs to the post-Zeppelin hard rock universe. In song after song, the band conveys their own distinctive blend of conviction and hard work. The album is every bit as consistent as it is compelling.” - Pop Vulture
“This NY band produces shimmery pop-punk with heart. They demonstrate a more mature sound in their lyrics than most bands. But that doesn’t stop them from rocking out. This release has a great feel. Highly recommended.” - Amp Magazine
“Long Since Forgotten’s latest album is a polished, grungy recording that harks back to the days when alternative rock was king” - Syracuse News Times
