The Vital Season
Sounds Like:
As Cities Burn, Gogol Bordello, Muse, Ingrid Michaelson, The Devil Makes Three Bio: A new amalgamation, smoky and gritty female vocals over acoustic rhythm guitar and live violin, layered with signature bass lines, smooth electric guitar leads, keys, and some seriously impressive drum work. All originals all the time. Just when you think you've heard it all, we pull out something new... like horns. Post by Shawn Piper. |

Everything Captive
The Christian Rock group, Everything Captive was formed back in August of 2009, after the original members took a year break from performing. The newly formed band collaborated to write and record several of their more popular songs in order to capture the fresh sound they had created. (These songs can be heard above.) This formation of the band went on to perform and write music until December of 2011 when they mutually agreed it was time for each member to start other projects.
Here are some of the more notable accomplishments of the group: Professional groups they shared the stage with: Barlow Girl, December Radio, House of Heroes, Silverline, Queens Club, SeventhTimeDown, The Letter Black, To Kill A Monster, NotForgotten, Pleading the Fifth, etc. Notable venues performed at: Ichthus Fort Wayne 2010, Musica (Akron, OH), The Gear Venue (IN), Ohio Allen County Fair (August of 2011, 2010, 2009), Indiana Allen County Fair (July of 2010), Sweetwater Stadium (IN), The Attic (Kettering, OH).

Rhythm of Life DJ Services
ROL.DJS
In the summer of 2009, I co-founded Rhythm of Life DJ Services with my close friend Danny Melton. Not long after we added another partner, Bill Melton to the business.
After one year, we had not only paid off all outstanding debt outside the business but also became the largest mobile DJ service in the area. My jobs included: Setup/Teardown (at performances), song-selection/mixing (at performances), bookings (schools, contracts), advertising (social media, flyer creation). I chose to leave the business in December of 2010 to pursue other musical projects and devote more time elsewhere.

Broken Yoke
Broken YokeMy performance period with this group took place between the summer of 2007 and spring of 2008. Lead singer John Lapinski was in need of a guitar/backup vocalist and hired me for LIVE performance play only.
While touring with this group I had the opportunity to perform at some notable venues including the Niswonger Center for Performing Arts in Van Wert, Ohio. I also gained valuable experience and know-how to be able to pursue my own musical projects in the future. |
