jazz_jubilee_300x200Gavin DeGraw

In just a few short years, Gavin DeGraw has become one of today’s premier singer-songwriters. Relying on his creative abilities, perseverance and hard work, DeGraw recently added a new chapter to his celebrated narrative with the recent release of FREE — a raw, organic-sounding collection of songs that showcases Gavin’s earthy charm and ever-evolving songwriting talent.

“My intention on FREE was to stay out of the way of the songs,” DeGraw says. “We kept the production very minimal in order to get everything that lies between me and the audience out of the way. By removing all the bells and whistles, you really make room for someone to pay attention to the songwriting.” Check Out Gavin DeGraw on YouTube!

 

Steven Yuberra 300x200Steven Ybarra

Carlsbad’s Steven Ybarra is a meteor of talent, showering us with heartfelt songs from his new solo CD, “Love Love Love.”  His former band toured nationally, sharing the stage with headliners such as Hootie and the Blowfish, until a serious illness changed Steven’s life forever.  The San Diego Music Awards and San Diego Songwriter’s Guild have recognized his cross-genre songs spanning from Christian pop to adult contemporary. Steven’s signature vocal intimacy will not leave you unmoved. His captivating eyes reflect the world’s joys and sorrows, while his music underlines hope and love inspired by his faith in Christ and his wife, Kellee.

jazz_jubilee_300x200Marcus Eaton

"Marcus Eaton plays the acoustic, but not like you might expect. He rapidly shifts between frantic fingerpicking and strumming, clean acoustic sounds and swirling, looped effects," writes Premier Guitar Magazine. "His music fits firmly in the post-modern musical relativism that has become the norm among a new generation of musicians – viewing genre distinctions not as absolutes but as starting points."

 

jazz_jubilee_300x200Jonathan Kingham

During his first few years on the scene, Jonathan Kingham has quickly developed into a seasoned performer while sharing the stage with the likes of Shawn Colvin, Michael McDonald and others. Based in Seattle he splits his time between touring the country and writing and recording with some of the top writers and players in Nashville. He is currently supporting his third album “That Changes Everything,” which finds him mining the fertile changes of jazz while maintaining one foot firmly in the folk/pop world.

300x200 LaoLao Tizer

Called “a torchbearer for the new generation of contemporary jazz” and “an independent artist with all the right moves” keyboardist and recording artist Lao Tizer captivates audiences of all ages and musical tastes. The “Best New Jazz Artist” nominee is also a Yamaha-endorsed pianist and keyboardist—quite a way to come for the former street musician. Although his recordings often fall under the “smooth jazz” category, in person his shows red hot and full of energy.
