CHRIS CLOUSE BIOGRAPHY:
Somewhere between the sweet and sour, the joy and angst, a whisper and a yell lies the honest music of CLOUSE. Walking the line between folk and rock, CLOUSE's front man Chris Clouse has re-invented the singer-songwriter with a Live inspired voice, an elaborate acoustic style reminiscent of Dave Matthews, and innovative guitar tones that mimic electronic music. Listeners often find it difficult to believe so many different layers of sound can be coming from one person. Chris then conveys lyrics that are radiant and relatable to anyone who recognizes the simple complexities in life.Chris Clouse's background makes it difficult to not to have an original sound. At the age of six he began playing the fiddle and entering competitions near his home in Spokane, WA. By the time he was thirteen he had become a two-time Washington State Fiddle Champion and had won second place in the National Old-time Fiddle Contest, earning him an article next to Tiger Woods in National Geographic's World Magazine. Through high school Chris fronted the country band Homeward Bound playing guitar and performing his songs on major stages throughout the Northwest. He shared the stage with acts such as Johnny Cash, Clay Walker, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Ricky Skaggs, just to name a few. After finishing college in Nashville, TN in 1998 and pursuing label interest, Chris' musical style changed with the songs he was writing. He formed the rock band Roadside Crier that received local power - station airplay and performed at Nashville hot spots such as Wolfy's, Gibson Café, and the Belmont Theatre.

DJ SOLOMON BIOGRAPHY:
Solomon isn't your everyday magician. He doesn't know how to pull a white rabbit out of a hat or your 6 of Clubs from the deck. But what the Bay Area-based music wizard can do is ELEVATE you on the dance floor. This was clear from the time of his first gig in '89, when he used nothing more than a tape deck and cd player to transform a middle school prom into a raging pre-adolescent night club that terrified the chaperones. Ever since, he's spread his innovative sound in clubs from here to China. Solomon's specialty is something he always called "Pop Turntablism." It's a niche of music that fuses scratching, beat juggling, word play, and live remixing with an eclectic mix of funk, soul, hip hop and rock tracks. It's an emerging genre now popularly known as "Mashup." And within this community, Solomon shines. As a producer, he was among an elite group of djs and producers comprising the Crooklyn Clan Vault. The website has become one of the main distribution hubs for dj mashups and has become an invaluable tool for promoting Solomon's unique and original production sound.His musical stylings have captured the imagination of some of today's biggest music stars and he's recently performed with The Black Eyed Peas, Digital Underground, De La Soul, Ozomotli, Groove Collective, Jurassic 5, Lyrics Born, Patti Labelle, DJ AM and Dan the Automator - just to name a few. And naturally, he's caught the eye of club promoters everywhere. Solomon has residencies all over the Western US. From San Fran to Sacto, San Diego to Scottsdale. And last year, he teamed up with singer/songwriter Chris Clouse for an insanely popular Thursday night show at the Hard Rock Hotel.
