Head Trip is a mix of heavy, melodic and everything in between. Formed by members of Nailwounds and Local Motive, Head Trips goals are to not set any boundaries on their music, and to not fall victim to the "sound like everyone else" scene that sadly still exists. They set out to write music for the pure enjoyment of it, and the fun of rocking out! Currently this fairly new band is finishing writting songs, and are anxious to get out and start playing live! Keep an ear open for more songs....This is just the begining... email us at theheadtrip@hotmail.com

Two piece, dynamic original music act! Small, self-contained easy travel stage show with focus on sounding great instead of volume! Multi-talented, multi-versatile stage show with lots of unique instruments and switch ups displaying great talent! Singer with extreme range playing several instruments at the same time! Pre-recorded backup(all instruments played by members) gives full rich sound and allows artists to flow more freely and show off their abilities while still playing formal, orchestrated pieces(not just a jam)! Great work ethic and great variety of styles and genres all mixed up! Every song sounds totally different! Something for everyone!

Professional solo entertainer with a full-band sound. Perfect for Weddings, Receptions, Parties, Charity Events, Clubs and Restaurants. Minimal space, electrical and travel requirements. Each show is tailored to exactly fit your needs and certain to please the most discerning clientele.
Solo Entertainment - What I Offer
---------------------------------------
A polished, professional entertainment experience that can provide the same (or better) sound than most full bands. Benefits include:
1) Full-band sound with only one performer
2) Very consistent sound and presentation
3) Appropriate volume for the venue
4) Minimal space requirements for setup
5) Minimal electrical power needed
6) Minimal travel and hotel requirements
"What kind of material do you perform?"
My catalog contains a couple hundred hit songs that are evenly spread between Rock, Pop, Country and include material from the 60s, 70s, 80s through present. I provide appropriate material for anything from an elegant Wedding Reception to a "get down with it" birthday party to a headliner act at any corporate, charity, or sponsored event. My clients have said that my presentation will work for practically any age range and I work tirelessly to provide exactly what your guests want; an enjoyable evening.
My instrumentation is usually live vocals and guitar, paired with my professionally-produced backing tracks. For Wedding Ceremonies, I usually provide piano music. Other instruments and/or singers are available upon request. I'm here to serve and will provide exactly what you want.
"What are your credentials?"
My musical credits are diverse and include 9+ years on The Grand Ole Opry, numerous major Artist credits, large concert venues, Network TV/Radio, Weddings, Receptions, Birthday parties, Corporate meetings, Tradeshows and countless other private functions. You name it, I've entertained there.
"How do you get all that sound with just one guy?"
I start with songs that have been "hits" for the artists who originally recorded them, then record the band parts at my home studio; drums, bass, keys, backing vocals, etc. After recording, I add the new song to a laptop computer that has special performance software. The computer helps me to instantly fill any song request. When a guest asks for "Doobie Brothers" I can hit a few keystrokes and it's ready to roll. It makes for a seamless presentation that keeps the music (and the fun) rolling along. This software also displays song lyrics, allowing me to invite guests to take the mic to "be a star". Including guests into the performance is a sure-fire hit and it works, every time. Just ask my clients.
"What equipment do you use?"
I use the finest sound system available, made especially for Solo Entertainers, the "Bose L1 System". Of all the sound systems I've used, this one wins hands down. The system is extremely compact and melts into the surroundings.
For lighting, I typically bring a light tree with a sound-activated controller. This gives a great little light show that rounds out the polished, professional look and sound that today's audiences demand. Details are crucial in entertainment and I try hard to make certain everything is absolutely perfect for my clients.

It is impossible to place Juno Vesta in a category amongst millions of artists plagued with intentions to gain wealth or popularity. Juno Vesta is a band with the drive to be heard and enjoyed amongst all who are willing to listen. Although there are many genres to broadly explain their style, Juno Vesta can only be described as a rock band striving to make new and interesting music that will continue to "rock your socks off." Juno Vesta started in April of 2007 when bassist Dan Nonweiler convinced friend and guitarist Logan Ramirez to set up a jam session with drummer Mitch Washebek. They soon found that they all shared a common interest in making new and original music that was unlike anything else or anything popular at the moment. Due to personal conflicts, bassist Dan Nonweiler left the group in August of 2007. Fortunately, Logan and Mitch had planned for this occurance and within a few weeks, after Dan's departure he was replaced with bassist and long time friend, Jason Coenen. As well as Jason, they also decided to add guitarist and vocalist John Lenz to their lineup. Juno Vesta today is as strong as they have ever been. They still have set plans to release their debut album in the fall of 2007.
