ELEPHANT TRAIN has been around for nearly two years, gaining a respectable following by playing shows throughout Vancouver. Their sound touches on a wide variety of genres and styles, combining funky licks that make the girls cry with a solid, lickity-split havoc that brings out the boogie in people. Quickly gathering speed with a new album of studio recordings, Elephant Train delivers a strong, enthusiastic live show full of funky, original rock. http://www.myspace.com/ElephantTrain

JESSI NICHOLSON - This West Coast soulstress believes in the power of being truly present and vulnerable in her writing and live performances while leaving room for a rare intimacy and authenticity that allows her to communicate with her audience on a deeper level. An artist and storyteller, her experiences and intuitive wisdom pulse through her music, combining the styles of soul, r&b, reggae and electronica to produce an “urban-organic” sound with vocals that echo the soulfulness of India Arie and Zero 7. www.myspace.com/JessiNicholson

The CHASE strives to show that retro rock doesn't have to sound like something you've already heard. With great songs, an energetic, charismatic stage presence and an innovative sound that is as original as it is classic, they've quickly proven themselves a force to be reckoned with in the Vancouver music scene. Anyone who sees their live show will recognize that they are the real deal and know that nothing can get in their way. The Chase is on! http://www.myspace.com/wearethechase

JENNA MACK grew up on a musical diet of country, Elvis and Michael Jackson. With a genuine love for performing and interacting with audiences, her music is cathartic and refreshing, raw and honest. Her new funk punk band Lazarwolf will soon be playing all the local haunts around town, but once in a while you'll still be able to catch her on the stage alone, loving every minute of it. http://www.myspace.com/JennaMackMusic
