Major Chord was born in the winter of 2006 on a living room table. It came into existence somewhere between the Minor Key and the Umbilical Cord. Major Chord is sometimes lonely - singing and strumming guitar, but usually wistful harmonies and whimsical violin appear, then occassionally caressed keys, bopping bass and beating drums you hear. Blending folk sugar with hints of tasty pop and a pinch of alt-rock spice, Major Chord creates a warm and vibrant delight.

My Brightest Diamond is a chamber pop band led by singer-songwriter Shara Worden, which was formed in New York City, NY, USA (2006). Worden is the granddaughter of an Epiphone-playing traveling evangelist; her father was a National Accordion Champion and her mother a classical organist.
