Jason McNabb
Artist - Guitar, vocalist
From picking on the front porch and jamming with the family band to performing in front of thousands on a festival stage, opening for some of the biggest names in country music. Jason McNabb is a walking, talking version of the phrase “been there, done that.” Growing up in Manitoba, Canada - what he would call the “Paris” of the prairies - Jason naturally gravitated toward hard work and country music. The two wouldn’t take long to go hand in hand either. Jason started performing live in front of audiences at the age of 12 while playing drums in the family band. Not long after that (or at least not long after his first teenage heartbreak) Jason began writing songs. The emotional relief and personal gratification after that first “gem" would be the gateway to a lifelong songwriting addiction. "I write songs about real things... real life… MY life. I put it all out there and love it or hate it, it’s authentic and it’s the truth... Well, at least that's how I interpret it.” The stage performance is no different. Jason can fill the room with a fun and explosive energy during upbeat song selections, and also a raw vulnerability that will leave you hanging on every word during the seldom ballad. Jason continues to explore the depths with in himself to create new music and refuses to lie still and fight evolution. “If there ever comes a day where I wake up not wanting to grow as a musician, writer, performer or even a person, lock me up and throw away the key."--
Brandon Todd

Mike Underwood
Artist - Drummer, Vocalist
There's something amazing about Mike Underwood. Nobody knows exactly what it is, but everybody knows it's there. Maybe it's his collegiate classical training and his frequent performances in a variety of symphony orchestras and wind ensembles... or maybe it's the jazz chops he developed while performing with the band The Jazz Orgy… or maybe it's his extensive experience with steel drums while leading the band Pandora's Groove… but most likely, it's the energy and charisma that he brings to the stage for every performance. His commitment to practice and learning yields incredible musical tensions and releases, it's a musical catharsis.

During her time there she worked in the campus photography lab, interned with Caylor Photography, worked at Turba Photography, and photographed many campus events. After graduation, Katie was commissioned to do design work for a number of local studios and was also employed as an art teacher and school photographer at a local private school. In 2011 Katie went back to her roots, opening her own photography studio, Weihbrecht Photography. Though Katie photographs a wide variety of subject matters, she’s more recently found her niche in band photography as a way to combine her passions for art and music. When not behind the camera, Katie enjoys spending time with her husband, 3 sons, and 2 dogs. Her favorite places to be are her family cabin on Brule Lake, or at the beach. In her free time Katie enjoys traveling, swimming, hiking, barre, reading, music, art, and food. Fun facts: In addition to photography Katie is also trained in oil painting, though if she could have any talent in the world it would be the ability to sing well. Katie LOVES sweets and could eat her body weight in ice cream…or queso, but absolutely hates small spaces, confrontation, and clutter.
