Erisa Rei

Erisa Rei is a Christian, wife, mother, singer-songwriter and worship artist. She thinks that every person is multi-faceted and that she's no exception. She believes that her music relays this in its style and content, as well as her life. She writes about many different things in many different styles. This is where the multi-faceted thing really comes into play. Her song topics vary from singing about the Lord to singing to the Lord and also her life experiences sung in different moods and styles, depending on the how she was feeling when she wrote the song. She hopes to start recording these songs from home in hopes that some people would be able to use them. She likes to go to coffeehouses and just chill and sing. She has no motive, except that she just loves to share her songs and hope that other people like them too. www.erisarei.com

Eclipce 

Eclipce in a nutshell is four guys who met in high school that had one thing in common, they like to rock. They are from Carthage, TN. They are Andrew Hobbs on vocals and guitar, Charlie South on guitar and vocals, Gregg Hiett on drums, and Kyle House on bass. They are a modern hard rock band comprised of four gifted musicians with an uncanny ability to write instantly recognizable songs with a modern, futuristic sonic quality that never stray far from their old school rock roots. www.eclipcemusic.com
