Ryan Hiller has years of experience in the music business, has toured internationally and has played thousands of shows, private events and clubs during his career. Ryan had received his degree in music from the University of New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina, and decided to head to California. Ryan has since established himself as a regularly featured artist at many local San Diego venues, and has toured both regionally and nationally. In the meantime he has racked up endorsement deals including Fender, Taylor Guitars, Sennheiser Microphones, LR Baggs, and Gator Cases. Ryan's music can best be described as a blend of Roots, Rock & Soul, and as Steve Belkin from UE3 Promotions puts it, "a soulful artist whose sound lies somewhere between New Orleans and Old blue jeans. A lot of fun and very comfortable."

Michael LeClerc is a Canadian singer/songwriter with a style reminiscent of Van Morrison, Dave Matthews or Jack Johnson. His sweet and soulful voice penetrates deeply, with a dream-like quality against an acoustic guitar that drifts between deftly executed finger-style to jangly strumming, and segues easily from love ballad to upbeat rocker. Currently located in Southern California, he is carving a niche for himself up and down the west coast, playing wineries, clubs and songwriter showcases from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada. Fiercely independent, Michael has been playing since the age of seven, and always knew that music was his calling. Growing up in the rural, blue-collar community of Chatham, Ontario fueled his wanderlust, but like many artists, there were several turns in the road before he made the decision to commit to music full time. Some of his early vocations included picking tobacco and working in a corn mill, eventually leading him to pursue a degree in Hospitality and Business Development. After a few years living in Ireland and working with several prestigious hotels, he moved to the Cayman Islands, where his band Smooth Bill had the opportunity to open for top Canadian band The Tragically Hip in front of several thousand people. He has since played to many large audience, including the Twilight Concert Series in Del Mar, CA, andis just as comfortable playing on a big stage as his is to an intimate listening room audience. In 2011, he released his first solo EP with producer Jim Wirt (Fiona Apple, Incubus, Hoobastank), titled Radio. Local terrestrial and internet radio began to pick up on the title track, leading to a three-month tour of California that soon segued into a permanent move. 2015 saw the release of a new self-titled EP, and he has been a featured performer in Renaissance Hotels’ RLife concert series, a program that in the past has hosted artists like Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke. Drawing comparisons to James Taylor, Jackson Brown and John Mayer, Michael’s instant appeal and warm stage presence invites the audience to come closer and listen to what he has to say.

I tour extensively throughout Southern California with gigs in San Diego, Riverside and LA County, averaging between 15 to 20 shows a month!
