ROSS VEGAS - Few bands can blend melody, groove and mood like Ross Vegas. Formed in 2002 by frontman Tim Bourchier, the Vancouver-based group has toured extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest, and is now releasing their debut album "Flow". Meshing resonant vocals, pulsing rhythms, and soulful ambience, the result is a sound that is cooly grooving with a nice touch of grit around the edges. http://www.rossvegasmusic.com

JASON MITCHELL is a singer/songwriter, poet and storyteller who mixes an acoustic bare-bones approach with a rich, full sound. He has a unique ability to captivate audiences with his dynamic voice and energetic stage presence. "An emotive and inspired vocalist, Mitchell sings intense, observational tales of love and longing." - Winnipeg Sun . http://www.jasonmitchellmusic.com

ANDY COLLINS - Fully electrified, Andy and his dynamic band play catchy pop-rock with choruses guaranteed to stick in your head. Their new EP will be released this fall, so you'll be among the first people to hear this talented musician's newest offerings! http://www.thisiscollins.com
