Dana Rogers’ musical style is an American mosaic of acoustic fingerstyle jazz, blues, good ‘ol rock n roll and many other influences that span most of the 20th century.

Dana has been performing for over a decade and in that time has played such venues as Soup Plus, the oldest jazz club in Sydney, Australia, and NY Singer Songwriter Sessions at legendary Manhattan venues, CBGB and The Bitter End. While living in New York City, one of the most memorable moments was when she was cast on the spot in an Off Broadway play, just after an open mic set. In tears, the Manhattan playwright walked up to her and said, “You have to do that song in my play!” She performed “Dreaming”, an original instrumental, and was very well received by New York theater audiences.

Dana has shared the stage with Sarah Lee Guthrie, Guy Davis, Ingrid Michaelson, Steve Poltz, The Waybacks and The Floating Men to name a few.

Jeans. T-shirt. Boots. Guitar. Tyler’s appearance is indicative of his style of music. Simple, straight forward and candid.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, Tyler’s music is well rooted in Southern Americana. Growing up listening to his uncle play guitar and sing on the porch deck of a beach house, Tyler’s inspiration came at an early age. Tyler attended the Florida State University, where he became refreshingly dependent on his fan base. Paying his dues and performing in bars for eight years before recording his first album, Whiskey Down (February, 2008), he has tailored his music to the live venue.

His performances are infectiously enjoyable and fun. Tyler’s blend of Texas-style, raw country and Americana finds audiences that wait with open arms and raised glasses.

While other little girls dreamt of being princess brides, mermaids, or fairies, Jen Woodhouse performed in her parents’ living room in front of a captivated audience made up of her two younger sisters, various stuffed animals, and Barbie dolls. Whether she was performing in ballet and piano recitals, or just hula dancing for the neighbors, it was apparent at a very early age that Jen was a born entertainer. Since her sold out living room concerts, Jen continues to mesmerize audiences across the globe.

These days, Woodhouse has been keeping busy. She is currently on a 7-month tour in Asia, playing shows 6 nights a week. Fans can experience Asia with her as she documents her travels and performances on YouTube.com.

A recent Nashville transplant, Woodhouse has been ceaselessly touring and promoting her highly anticipated double-disc album, “The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound.” Quickly garnering tremendous word-of-mouth support, Woodhouse’s sophomore album follows on the heels of her critically acclaimed 2005 debut, “This Honest Age.”

A collection of cleverly spun tales of realism that relate to the many sides of the persona, “The Shaping & Shifting of Objects & Sound” has many highlights, including the hooky, energetic pop gem, “Rearview,” the moody, ethereal piano-driven, “Gravity,” and the territorial, rollicking, tongue-in-cheek “Vicious.” “Impossible”, one of the album’s standout tracks, combines tripped-out guitars with a quirky Imogen Heap-tinged keyboard groove. Live instruments (piano, drums and bass) mingle with electronic elements while Woodhouse’s voice is powerful yet heart-wrenchingly sincere.

Woodhouse masters the delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. These intensely emotional songs bind the elements of self-sacrifice, redemption, and the constant redefining of identity.

The incalculable range found in Woodhouse’s music should be of no surprise, considering her traveling forays into different countries and cultures. Born into a military family, Woodhouse divided her childhood in Texas, the Philippines, Alabama, Germany, Philadelphia, and Chicago. Her diverse upbringing clearly influences the music she makes today.

In addition to her rigorous touring schedule, Woodhouse was invited to perform at several high-profile music festivals, including Austin’s biggest music event, South by Southwest, Toronto’s Indie Week Festival and Atlanta’s Atlantis Music Conference.

She recently spearheaded The Green Light Tour, a month-long international tour spanning 22 cities in the US & Canada, promoting her new album and raising awareness about global warming. Teaming up with various environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club and Arbor Day Foundation, Woodhouse and two fellow singer/songwriters planted a tree in every city they stopped in, as well as raffled off ‘enviro-prizes’ to audience members.

Woodhouse continues to tour extensively throughout the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Asia. She is endorsed by Ovation guitars and Yamaha pianos and keyboards.
