Jeffrey Altergott "The road from playing in an 80's alt-rock cover band to being a singer-songwriter who sounds more like a hopeful Elliot Smith than Robert Smith has been a fun ride. The focus on acoustic music and songwriting happened in the early 90's when I discovered the music of the Indigo Girls and Tracy Chapman. I became ravenous for anything in this genre and traded in my Les Paul for an acoustic guitar. <more>

Telling Point/Sue Balaschak Ask for the background of each member and you'll understand how this Cleveland based rock group came to have such an eclectic sound. Influences ranging from jazz and middle eastern to classic rock and new metal have caused Telling Point to classify their style as "Indefinable Rock". The commanding drums and melodic bass grooves will keep you moving as the sensual vocals embrace you. Each song is a new story: personal, inviting. By the end of the show you'll feel you know the band better than the person you're going home with. And with the band at least, you'll know you want to come back for more. http://profile.myspace.com/index .cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=194726808

Megan Cameron I think I was born signing. When I was about 10 my parents gave me a Rhythm 8 keyboard and I spent hours writing and recording songs on a little tape player. My parents made me take piano when I was in the 3rd grade, which I hated...unfortunately, I quit after about 2 years. However, I did learn enough to get by. In high school I began writing music on the piano. It wasn't until I was in college, studying music that I really began to write songs. Songwriting became a creative outlet for me in an otherwise restrictive environment. In 1997 I performed 4 songs at a local open stage and I have been performing around the Athens area and throughout Ohio ever since. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=90642305 |
