The Leadership
The Leadership was born from changes. Longtime folkie Jonathon Childerstraded in his acoustic to buy his first electric guitar. Jared Michael Park, a former drummer, stepped from behind the set to play the lead guitar. The rhythm section consists of jazz student Matt Novotny on drums and Jack Huffman holding down the bass. The Leadership's most recent addition, Colin Drozdoff, fleshes out the arrangements on keys. The band found that they shared influences, notably classic FM rock radio such as Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon, and Led Zeppelin. They also had a healthy dose of Wilco and My Morning Jacket to share, as well. They took what they liked and left the rest, injecting energy into Childers' songs about life, love and the state of the union.
The Bellwether
Through the digital postal service, these remote collaborators take aim at crafting a bossa nova boogie. Yes, their musical influences are varied, but you'll have to take my word for it because this is their debut single.
Erik Stonikas - Songwriting, Guitar, Vocals
Marty Tilton - Arrangement, Trumpet, Strings, Percussion

George Harvey
Born in 1985, George (aka Justin Woodward) began a love affair with music when his parents bought an awful upright piano. Someone used scotch tape and little bits of paper to label the notes on the keys. Later, George took up trumpet and became a band nerd, realizing only after graduating music school and renouncing the use of shoes that band nerds are not that cool. It was time to start making pop music. What you hear in his music is exploration somewhat like Helen Keller walking through a forest. Only the trees are music, and Helen Keller is George getting lucky and not being eaten by a forest animal; his only saving grace being how well he keeps to himself and stays away from the Internet as he bumbles forward.
