Author, columnist, and comedian Steve Hofstetter is often called the hardest working man in show-business. With all due respect to the late James Brown.
Hofstetter's national TV debut came on ESPN's Quite Frankly, where Stephen A. Smith yelled at him for three minutes. Hofstetter has also appeared on CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson", Showtime's "White Boyz in the Hood", VH1's "Countdown", Sundance's "On the Road in America", and ABC's "Barbara Walter's Special", where he thankfully did not cry. He is the host and executive producer of "Laughs" on Fox networks, where he only cries occasionally.

Wisconsin quartet Horace Greene crafts danceable indie rock, teasing elements of synth-pop and psychedelia. The band formed in "Water City" Oshkosh, which has become the central location for the group’s busy tour schedule. Their latest release "The Diamond Engine," is a 12 song supernova that showcases their vibrant mix of influences and further pushes the boundaries on their soul-stirring, '60s-twinged style.
