Tuesday Feb 17
=95 8P Matt Jones (indie/folk/concrete)
"He has a really pleasant voice with a slightly haunting quality to
it. His way of singing is much like his way of playing guitar - loose,
easy going and almost playful at times. The haunting quality of his
voice and the wistful guitar come together to create music that is
honestly beautiful." - Guilt Free Pleasure

=95 9:30P Eric Holljes (rock/acoustic)
I grew up in GA and CA. I started playing piano at 7 and I don't
remember a time when I wasn't singing. I wrote my first song with my
brother when I was 11 and have been doing that ever since. We now go
to school together in NC and are in the band Running Lights.

Wednesday Feb 18

coupled with performing together for five years as a unit makes the
WMG one of the most polished, and sought-after trios in the area.
