DL TOKEN:  DL Token was formed in the Spring of 2001. A brilliant young singer/songwriter had been fine tuning his craft, while the other soon to be members of DL Token had spent many long years searching for the perfect group of equally balanced musicians to bond with. It all came together rather fast, as they all seemed to realize at the same time that this was what they all had been searching for. DL Token's vision is to write and perform good music.  Music that will leave an impression on the ear and lyrics that will touch the heart, gaining fans and friends along the way.  DL Token performs Saturday, April 26 at 7:00 pm

VANESSA CARLTON:  Vanessa Carlton first began playing the piano as a toddler.   Continuing on an artistic road, she attended the School of American Ballet in New York, a path she would eventually abandon in favor of songwriting.  She re-embraced the piano and began performing in bars and clubs across Manhattan.  Her debut album in April of '02, Be Not Nobody, resonated with audiences of all ages, especially the hit piano single "A Thousand Miles," which reached to Top 5 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart.  Carlton went on to earn several Grammy nominations for that album.  Her latest album, Heroes and Thieves, reflects Carlton's renewed confidence as well as a continuation of her uncompromising approach to recording.  There are soaring songs like "More Than This, " the pensive "Hands On Me, " the aching break-up song "My Best" and the alluring ballad "Home," whose stripped-down sound places her sultry voice front and center.  You can hear all your favorite Vanessa Carlton hits Saturday, April 26, during Q98's Saturday Night's Alive.
