BIG WAVE PRESENTS! Jasper T, Charles Ellsworth, Lana McMullen
JASPER T. (SEA)
(acoustic folk that bumps)
From the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Jasper T. combines the heart and soul of pure acoustic music with a kiss of the modern touch of hip hop and electronic. Jasper T. describes his music as "acoustic folk that bumps," fitting for someone who names OutKast and Lynyrd Skynyrd as his favorite artists. The Sweet Dark Pt. II spans upbeat country-tinged pop ("Pretty Little Thing"), experiments in looping ("Ride the Beat"), and rap/acoustic pairings with lead single "Broken Singer's Blues 2.0," featuring rapper and frequent collaborator John Crown with production by 2010 Red Bull Big Tune national finalist Trox. The upcoming single from this album, "Different Pages", features Seattle-Great Lotte Kestner, and is best described as an electronic bluegrass- based ballad that moves both the feet and the soul.
CHARLES ELLSWORTH (SLC)
(folk+songwriter+acoustic)
Born and raised in the White Mountains of Arizona, Charles Ellsworth first gained an appreciation for a simple, not so distant past. His vivid lyrics and near-familiar melodies weave to tell stories of heartbreak and loneliness while shining a light on the perseverance of the human spirit. Charles has subtle way of exploring the idea that even when all seems lost, there is always a sliver of hope. Declan Ryan of Independent Clauses (www.independentclauses.com) called his and Vincent Draper's recent release Salt Lake City: A Love Story, "a triumph for american songwriting...blending outlaw grit with a raw streak of self-awareness." His ability to go from a stomp-your-boots anthem reminiscent of Springsteen, to a simple love song in the vein of Townes Van Zandt assures that it won't be long before his name, lyrics, and melodies are stuck in music lovers head's everywhere.
LANA MCMULLEN (SEA)
(americana+folk)
Inspired by the unlikely combination of country and opera at a young age, singer/songwriter Lana McMullen began making music while in the midst of navigating elementary school growing pains. Although she has taken several detours in her career - studying opera exclusively for six years - Lana's style has ultimately morphed into the narrative, nostalgia-inducing, Americana/roots powerhouse it is today.
