ROGUE WAVE
Rogue Wave is an indie rock band from Oakland, California headed by Zach Schwartz (aka - Zach Rogue) who created the band after losing it all in the dot-com bust. Their 3rd and newest album "Asleep at Heaven's Gate" was released in September of 2007.
Rogue Wave is featured on the Stubbs: The Zombie Soundtrack performing a cover of Buddy Holly's 'Everyday'. They appeared on the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack with 'Every Moment'. In addition, the song 'Eyes' was featured in the Ryan Reynolds film 'Just Friends' and in two episodes of the NBC drama 'Heroes' along with an episode of Friday Night Lights. Most recently, the song Lake Michigan was used in an ad for Microsoft's MP3 player Zune in addition to being featured on The Edge 103.9's Alternative Edge-ucation!

SHAWN JOHNSON & THE FOUNDATION
People are starting to really pay attention to this band that plays over 120 shows per year. Whether they are playing at home in Phoenix, AZ or somewhere on the road, the crowds are growing larger and larger. Shawn Johnson and the Foundation has won four awards in as many years: Arizona's Infusion of Music Award 2002, Winner of Jillian's Battle of the Bands for Phoenix 2004, and most notably, Best Jam Band Of AZ by the AZ Infusion of Music Awards 2005 and just recently "Best Acoustic Act" 2006 by the Phoenix New Times. You never know when you are going to go see a national act, and SJF is the opener. SJF has gotten fans to their feet opening for O.A.R., The Fray, Rusted Root, Los Lobos, David Crosby, Cake, Pat McGee Band, Everclear, Little Feat, The Southland, Joe Bonamassa, The Samples, The Phunk Junkies, Cowboy Mouth, and The Format, among others. Yes, the vibe is catching on.

The four guys that make up SJF are musicians to the core. Singer/songwriter Shawn Johnson on vocals and rhythm guitar, Jayson Johnson on lead guitar, Jaron Mossman on drums, and Jim Hornaday on bass. They are a great group of friends that you want to witness when you go to see a band. There is that special presence and chemistry that translates to a great performance on stage. There is so much talent, and the guys keep their fans coming back for more, again and again, because there is always something new and exciting to see and hear at every show, even for the faithful follower.

Let's get down to the reason that SJF is different. Let's get down to the reason why their listeners are addicted to the constant mutual exchange of inspiration when you go to an SJF show: The Vibe. The vibe is one of celebration. They LOVE their audience. They love to be fed by the energy, and they love to give it back.
