Described, "eclectic music for the mind's eye", The Filetofsoul Project performs their own unique brand of genre-defying original music. From Neo-Classical sounds featuring the 5th Caprice by Nicolo Paganini, to Smooth Jazz and Acoustic pieces, to Power Trio Rock.
Jenna, Benjamin and K.K. Johnson of Track 45 often tells audiences, "If you listen to us long enough, you'll eventually hear something you like!" They play and sing their own arrangements of Americana music with lots of tight three-part harmonies. These children have a tremendous amount of stage presence/audience appeal. They easily move from a capella spirituals to easygoing traditionals & folk to bluegrass--and they love it all. They started with singing telegrams and weddings (vocal and string/flute ensemble)in MS, but the entertainment directors at Dollywood asked them to sing for a week at their Bluegrass Festival, and they were hooked! They arrange all their own music, giving even old standards their "own" sound, and they've already written and performed some original song

Lush string arrangements; a flare for the exotic; a symphonic scope. These are elements most would not expect could be paired with hook-driven piano rock - most, except for Wolfy.
Wolfy exhibits a refined quality that is uniquely mature, especially given their relatively short time together. Their quickly growing repertoire are solid examples of catchy pop hooks and strong musical craftsmanship. To an already rocking sound comprised of crashing keys, in-the-pocket bass and driving drums, Wolfy adds flourishing strings, sweeping synthscapes and dulcet vocal melodies to round it all out. This small trio has a really big sound.
First glance comparisons to the piano-driven rock of Coldplay, the sweet melodic sensibility of Keane, and the solid basslines of U2 abound - yet nevertheless, Wolfy demonstrates a creative and developed sound that is entirely their own.
Solo act, keyboards, guitar, vocals, programming, audience participation. I also have several other people I work with who sing and play an instrument.
