stay, and when it comes to the music, believe everything you hear.

I have songs in rotation on www.spiritco1.com, IM Radio, and "I Like to Bounce" has joined the line-up on children's internet "Jelly Bean Radio" station. "Can You Hear Me Now" won a top prize in hitsongfinder.com's last songwriting competition. I've showcased for Bands With a Mission and Indevo Records (a division of Warner Brothers Music) in Nashville. I enters a lot of songwriting competitions and usually finish in the top 20. Top 40 is the current standard for song hits, and my songs can get there! "My Favorite Season" was holding for a long time in 4th and 5th place in OurStage.com's Holiday Song Channel competition, but finished lucky in 13th place. I've written 55 songs to date - most within the past 2 years - and me and my gaggle of songs are looking for a good home.

THE HEX BOMBS
The beauty of the recently released, We Are Rock 'N' Roll, is it's like listening to your favorite Misfits, Rancid and Flogging Molly albums without having to change CDs (or nowadays, click your iPod.

Finding Bliss
The journey for Finding Bliss started as a complete and utter surprise. Before the band was essentially a group, guitarists Chris Truckner and Nick Fulara with drummer Justin Marlette were all overwhelmed by the world of Metal. They craved it and could not get enough. With their heavy metal roots bleeding from their guitar strings and pounding in the ears of their following, they abruptly decided to take an alternative approach; finding a rock singer and bassist. In October of 2009, vocalist Matt Dokman and bassist Dustin Jackson Hillert joined the trio, and so began the shift from Metal to a brand of Hard Rock, as Finding Bliss was officially a band.
