Artist Bio:
Exuberant, entertaining, and enigmatic are just a few words to begin to describe Andrew Varner. But summing him up in three paragraphs or less proves to be quite a challenge. His personality is as difficult to explain as the sound of his music, but both are unique and must be experienced to begin to understand. Honest yet cunning, down to earth yet snide, silly yet sophisticated

Artist Bio:
We hail from Tennessee, the endless plains and rolling hills run deep in our music. We sing songs of freedom and love. We make music to bring people together to share and embrace the sunset limited, to help you escape from the petty paced seconds and minutes that inevitably count us all down. We hope you enjoy what we have to offer, we have been doing it for many a sunrises and hope to do it for many more.

Artist Bio:
In the summer of 2002, Mike Rodgers bought his first guitar. “At the time I thought it was cool, so I wanted to learn. I had no idea that I would ever be playing in front of people!” He previously took piano lessons and was active in a youth chorus. For someone who taught himself to play guitar, his musical talent soon began to grow.
As a student in High School he began performing as a member of the Praise Band. It was not long after that he began writing his own music and playing it for other people. “It wasn’t until I graduated college that I really started to get into it seriously,” he says. “One thing I’ve learned is that if you really want to be good at something then you must be open to criticism. At first it is a blow to the stomach, but if you really take people’s advice to heart then it can be a learning experience.”
Born and raised in Hermitage, PA, Rodgers made his way to Erie to study Philosophy at Gannon University. After moving from Erie to Pittsburgh, he began to take his music writing more seriously. “People need to know that you are serious about music - otherwise you are just another guitar player, and doesn’t it seem like everyone is playing the guitar these days?” Although his development as an artist has been exceptional, his entrance onto the music scene is relatively new. Not a child prodigy who was “discovered” in the days of his youth, Rodgers knew that he had to rededicate himself to his writing if he wanted to be successful. His music has become an honest expression of his life - writing with an honesty that people appreciate.

Artist Bio:
A great band once said, "If we can walk together, we can rock together." No band embraces this more than the band you are currently looking at.
Formed in July of 2011, the trio Murdered In A Record Shop (a.k.a. MARS) began as just an idea with a hope. After bringing in Drummer Tyler LaChance the band became serious and each member more devoted. After many basement recordings and performances, they are ready to move forward and push theirs and the industries' boundaries.
Combining classic ideas from such bands as Ramones, Youth Brigade, and 7 Seconds, blended with the hardcore energy of bands like The Unseen, The Casualties, and The Virus, and after creating the demo before you titled 'Something's Gone Rotten,' they unleashed a wave of high energy determination, eager to break out of the Tennessee Music scene.
Tommy Patton - Bass/Vocals
Mason Goff - Guitar
Tyler Lachance - Drums

Artist Bio:
We basically started playing music out of love for expression. There were a lot of events taking place in our lives, and while some people write diaries, paint, or simply choose to ignore what they're feeling, we chose to transform our emotions into notes. Basically from this is what has spawned any sort of musical endeavor we've tackled thus far. We know that all hearts are of the same spirit, and that it is an injustice to the soul not to help spread our understanding of love through our music.

Artist Bio:
After growing up in Wisconsin for nearly 20 hot, cold, sunny, and snowy years, childhood friends Austin Cole and Adam Esser followed the whimsical calls of Nashville, Tennessee and relocated to the city. Upon arrival, they united with California kook Joshua Rawlings and Ohio purebred Brandon Ondayko to form 32 and Falling.
32 and Falling quickly gained attention from university students at Belmont and Vanderbilt after distributing demo CDs and song downloads on campus. Fans of the group have stated that the music shares similarities with popular rock acts such as The All-American Rejects and Good Charlotte, but with an interesting twist of musical technicalities usually only found in heavy rock or metal music.
With Austin Cole fronting the band with powerful lead vocals and screaming lead guitar, Adam Esser providing driving rhythm guitar riffs, Brandon Ondayko pounding out the beat on the drums, and Joshua Rawlings making chests rattle with growling bass guitar lines, 32 and Falling knows how to make a crowd bob heads and dance to the music. Whether it be the emotional love story behind Do You Remember, the familiar pop rock structure and comical lyrics found in Aly’s Sister, or the hard rock guitar licks and ground-shaking drum fills heard in Finger Paintings, the band seems to bring something to the table that leaves fans exhausted from jumping to the music but craving for more.
