Jackson Hunt (12) Piano/Pop Rock

http://myspace.com/jackonhuntmusic

Remember the days when guys like Billy Joel and Elton John would rip it up on the ivories? Jackson Tyler does (despite his young age) and wants to bring the piano back to the forefront of popular music. "Ben Folds set the stage and no one stepped up," he says. Until now. He's ready to take piano music to the next level. Tyler first laid his fingers on a C-chord at the tender age of five after watching David Lanz perform. He took classical lessons and won a state competition by the age of eight. He studied jazz, gospel and music composition in his teens and wrote his first song at 13. He began his studies at the Missouri State University music program in 2005 where he currently double majors in Piano Performance and Vocal Education. Tyler's music can be best described as a emotional tornado tap-dancing on the piano keys. "Guitar riffs are a dime a dozen," he explains, "but 88 keys lit on fire are something else." It's soulful like Ray Charles and expertly crafted in a manner invoking Jerry Lee Lewis. "Life is my largest influence," Tyler says of his music, "followed by my faith, family and friends. I always write my songs with the intent of getting a message or story across. 'Six Sunsets' was written during my grandfather's death and deals with my emotions during that time. I wrote 'The Moon Song' as a tribute to the town of Sombrette, Mexico, one of my favorite places in the world."

Sean Lea (10) Acoustic Folk/Rock

Hi. My name is Sean. I probably love you... I play songs. I've fronted and written for a band called "Time of Favor" for over 8 years now. I've spent the last 3 years of my life touring; sleeping in vans, venues, and on the floors of hospitable strangers. In those three years of wandering I feel like I've found myself a little more each day in the highways and back alley's of this country. I've come to accept that I don't have enough money to feed all the homeless, and I'm not smart enough to be a doctor or politician. I've come to accept I'll never fix all of my problems, and I'll never fix all of the world's. But I will do everything i can to try, as long as God has put breath in my lungs. I'll be picking fights with giants until the day that I'm called home. Jesus loves us. That's what im' about. Hope to meet you someday..

The Fifth Suite (9) Blues/Pop

Sinsuality (8) Alt Rock/Grunge

http://www.myspace.com/sinsualityband

Friends from high school, Phil Gold and Greg Farmer began playing together in 2007. Playing open mics at coffee shops and the Memorial Union, they decided to form a full band to perform their material. After a drunken night where he threatened to kill Greg, old friend Jeff Conway was enlisted to play bass. Greg's brother Mark was unwillingly drafted on drums to complete the line up. The music is heavily influenced by 90s grunge rock, with slow and sweet songs mixed with more aggressive rockers. Fans of Alice in Chains, the Smiths, Nirvana, or White Zombie may enjoy the music Sinsuality creates.
