You may remember Jillian Jensen from X Factor Season 2 or from American Idol Season 13, but back in September 2018, Jillian moved home to Massachusetts from Los Angeles to fulfill her lifelong dream of having a country band.
From the first rehearsal, everyone knew they had found something special and decided to commit to giving the band a proper chance.
Since the start of the band, they have had some really cool opportunities on their plate: performing their originals on WATD, as well as, on Country 102.5, and also opening for one of their favorite country acts, Old Dominion.
Jillian, Andrew, and Mike were shocked to find that their self-titled debut album charted #69 on the Top 100 Country Charts just after its release.
Now they are on to album #2 and currently recording with Sean McLaughlin at 37′ Productions in Rockland, MA where they put together the “Amber Eyes” debut.

SLACK
TIDE
Genres: Pop, Top 40, Rock, 90’s Rock,
Reggae, Indie, Alt
“Slack Tide has contributed an eclectic presence to the New England jam scene.” – Relix Magazine
“Slack Tide is one of the hardest working bands in terms of live performance.” – Its Not Records
The band began in late 2015 while founder Chris Cyrus attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. The group was formed as a vehicle to experiment with improvisation and blending uncommon genres. The Tide quickly became popular in the city’s basement scene and shifted gears to refine their sound.
Post-college, Cyrus moved back to his home state of New Hampshire and brought the Slack Tide sound with him to new audiences, especially at Newmarket’s Stone Church where the Tide was granted the freedom to continue their experimentation and developed significant factors of their live performances. This led to beginning a presence in the music festival scene.
From dingy dorm rooms to festival main stages and everything in between, the Tide is rising fast.

STEFANIE
JAMES
Genres: Top 40, Soul, Pop, R&B, Rock, Motown
Recording artist Stephanie James brings an evocative, fresh experience to the world of pop music. With a voice often described as “stunning” and “soulful”, Stephanie is a gifted storyteller who masterfully touches the hearts and souls of her fans. Brilliantly conveying the fragility and gravity of intense feelings through her voice, she brings them along on an emotional journey woven through each and every song. Whether in a small room or a crowd of thousands, she connects so intimately with audiences that many have said she can move them to tears and gracefully bring them to the heights of joy.
James released her debut album “Unbreakable” in collaboration with Grammy-nominated producers Jorel Corpus and Simone Torres. The album explores vulnerability, self-reliance, themes of growing up, and learning from the past. Maya Angelou’s poem, “Caged Bird” is featured among songs with hints of country and soul. Stephanie hopes to empower her listeners to overcome their struggles and discover that we are all “Unbreakable”.
Both raw and refined musically, the songs solidify Stephanie’s status as a poised and powerful performer often likened to a revival of legendary Linda Ronstadt combined with modern day super talents Sara Bareilles and Kacey Musgraves.
In addition to 10 years of classical and pop vocal coaching, Stephanie was technically trained at the prestigious Berklee College of Music where she strengthened her skills as a singer, musician and songwriter. Yet, it was years on stages from Boston to NYC, LA and beyond — including such notable venues as Boston Symphony Hall, Agganis Arena, Rockwood Music Hall, and Hotel Cafe — that brought her full talent to life on stage and off.
Stephanie is bi-coastal, spending much of her time in Los Angeles and the greater Boston area where she grew up.

David Scott is a trained classical violinist with over 30 years of experience. With much time spent studying under Brian Reagin, current Concert Master of the North Carolina Symphony, David can deftly maneuver any genre, style, or melody on the violin.
He graduated from Villanova University with a degree in Humanities. Whilst living in Philadelphia, he developed a deep appreciation and skill for music production and improvisation.
After having the opportunity to play at Carnegie Hall, an
overwhelming feeling of disenchantment about the prosaic path of symphonics overcame David. Coupled with persistent health scares, he was compelled to make a change.
David yearned to push beyond the rigid boundaries and expectations of classical violin in order to fully realize his potential as a multi-faceted creative.
Recently, David has collaborated with notable Grammy Award-winning artists including a number of associated acts that have produced and arranged for Frank Sinatra, Dr. Dre, John Williams,and Aaliyah, among several others.
Although his bourgeoning music career is nearing the precipice of national acclaim, David unfailingly makes time in his schedule to play locally at the retirement homes and hospitals that he frequented just a few years ago to make ends meet.
