The band's high energy stage show paired with real and heartfelt lyrics pulls audiences out of apathetic cell phone staring and brings them along for the ride.Out of a background of punk, country, blues and self-taught madness Hopeless Jack takes the shattered, dirty and discarded emotions of this life and builds them up with worn out tools, song by song.Originally performing as a one man band, Hopeless Jack is now backed by both drums and keys. Blues and Psych with blistering slide guitar, ripping keys, and driving rhythms. It gets people moving.Hopeless Jack plays his own brand of PsycaDelta Blues. Influenced by greats such as; Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Junior Kimbro, RL Burnside, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Gun Club and the Gories. “I try to write songs that mean something, something believable, songs that are real. Passport stamps of love, loss and anger. I believe in Rock &amp; Roll and that it saves people. When you hear the records, when you see me play, I want you to believe me. I am here to make believers.” - Hopeless Jack Beisel <h2>KAT HEART</h2><a href="https://www.katheart.net/" target="_blank">Website</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kat.heart.brennan" target="_blank">Facebook</a>----I didn’t become a musician because I wanted to be the center of attention. I became a musician because I needed to say things I couldn’t say with words alone.&nbsp;I became a musician for myself. It’s still my best therapy. Over the years I’ve learned that music is at its best when its shared… it’s all about communication in the end, isn’t it?&nbsp; <h2>MELI LEVI</h2><a href="https://melilevi.com/" target="_blank">Website</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/melilevi333" target="_blank">Facebook</a>----Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Meli Levi is equal parts sensitive singer-songwriter, eclectic rock and Americana with a dash of indie attitude! Meli is a gifted songwriter who creates songs that highlight the seemingly opposite polarities of the human experience. Her unique moody guitar stylings are complimented by a dexterous voice that can have a "prairie-dog cuteness of Brandi Carlile...but can crescendo like Jeff Buckley..." - Seattle Sound Magazine Meli has been likened to artists such as Brandi Carlile, Jeff Buckley, KT Tunstall, The Beatles, Counting Crows and Ellen Mcllwaine, but with a style and flavor all her own
