Tonye
Christopher
In "The Puppy Love Letters"
Chris has created an arsenal of songs that deliver a nostalgic account
of what it is like to be young and in love. His writing style is
poetically playful and reflectively romanticized so that each line
accents the self-portrait being painted by the sweet, simple melodies
the songs employ. He has a great voice. Sometimes it's a raspy whisper,
other times it's strong and soulful, but it's always unique and always
great... And if you remember nothing about Chris you will remember his
voice.

Jayne Sachs
Jayne Sachs Band
(pronounced Jane Sax) is based out of Dayton, Ohio. As a
singer/songwriter, Sachs recently won the pop category of The John
Lennon Songwriting Contest for her song "Twisted Ballerina". Sachs has
been listed as "Best New Music" in The Album Network three times, and
named one of six "Best Unsigned Bands in the USA" by Virtually
Alternative out of LA. "Jayne is ready to go nationwide" -The Album
Network, LA She's released 5 CDs. All have been met with excellent
reviews. "The regional press aptly salivates over each of her album
releases... It's amazing that a major label hasn't sniffed this
accessible, creative artist out yet." -Cincinnati CityBeat She's also
known as a dynamic live performer "full of energy and passion, delivered
with charm and more than a little wit." "Jayne Sachs belted out sounds I
haven't heard since Robert Plant clenched his fists and pulled out his
primal calls from the gut of his youth seated in the 1970's! ...a VERY
TALENTED 5 foot power packing punchy lady. Being an ex-singer, I was
envious of her grunge style and smokey persona." -Cups and Cauldrons
Jayne Sachs blasted onto the scene in the mid 90's. Since then she's
continued to have tremendous amount of local and regional success
including first place in WOXY's (97Xposure) tri-state competition,
rotation play on that station and several other regional radio stations,
numerous requests to open for national acts, performances at several
high exposure events, songs on many CD compilations from around the
country, invitations to showcase at several major music festivals, and
wins at international songwriting competitions. Sachs' connection to her
loyal and ever growing fan base is obvious at live shows. A fan recently
said: "She presents simple, human truths in the language of poetry and
with the depth of a novel". And with "guts", her song "Twisted
Ballerina", winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for Pop,
raises awareness regarding Child Sexual Abuse. It continues to travel
around the globe opening eyes to this heinous crime and gaining much
support in it's journey. Besides songs getting recognized by some of the
major songwriting contests, Sachs has plenty of material that could be a
great fit for TV or film placement. "There are also plenty of
radio-ready Pop nuggets... begging to be used on some UPN/WB teen
drama." -Cincinnati CityBeat Jayne continues to play live shows (full
band & solo) in support of the project and is a veteran at doing live
radio and television performances. She is currently writing songs for
her 6th release and can't wait to step back into the studio!
