"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.

Keys of Apollo - www.myspace.com/keyofapollo - Anniston, Alabama
The colors of K.O.A. are an unidentifiable sort. They are always ready for a challenge and a show to prove they are worthy. They bring a certain contour shaping their identified sound. With vocal patterns and ambient styles of guitar chords from Joe Cramer and Shawn Tucker playing an enchanting indie rock style on the bass and Jonah Colson's alternative/metal upbringing pushes this trio into a new spetrum, one that can be felt when just meeting the three together.
Although these three members apart have separate taste, as a unit something remarkable happens. It's just a spark that whirls all of this music out. You can feel this energy while watching. It makes up the lives, the melody, and the love; which is Keys of Apollo.
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.
