In early 2002 VLB recorded their first EP, “Pilot,” for Texas indie label Aaron Ave. Records. In 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 Velvet Love Box was voted Best Cover Band by the readers of Fort Worth Weekly!

Based out of Dallas, TX, Jason Elmore is an original high-energy artist that blends hard-hitting rock, jump/swing blues, vintage soul/r&b, and traces of 60’s country into a unique-but-familiar sound that maintains the essence of American roots music while simultaneously offering a fresh take on its various genres and sounds. Jason Elmore is uncommonly seamless in his ability to tailor his performance to suit the venue and demographic, without compromising the integrity of the band’s mission, which is to give 110% with every single performance, whether performing for a crowd of 2 or 2,000.

Dogs For Senate is a new project from Dallas musicians Anthony Stroud and Nick Roels. The duo released their first self-produced EP, The Apartment Tapes in December 2019, and have been writing and performing together ever since.

Still playing that funky music, Dave has played in classic rock bands and worship teams for decades. Dave is a songwriter and with his former band, Justin Case, he co-produced the 1998 album, Case Closed. Playing guitar since age 16, major influences include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Santana to name a few.  Today, Dave entertains crowds as a solo artist with an acoustic/electric set list spanning 5 decades of classic rock, current pop, blues, and country while incorporating a full experience using vocal harmonizers, looping, and backing tracks.

Brian Lambert is the artist who never stops creating, a man of mystery whose music transcends boundaries. Based in Denton, Texas, Brian's musical creations are not confined to any one region; they resonate with a global rock perspective. 

His sound is a harmonious blend of rock from the 80's and 90's, infused with a contemporary edge. It's music that invites listeners to dance and sing along, while also prompting introspection on life's profound moments. 

A testament to his dedication and prowess is The 52 Week Music Production Challenge, where Brian unveiled a fully produced track every week for a year. This endeavor not only highlighted his exceptional skills as a songwriter and musician but also his unwavering commitment to the art of music. 

Beyond his solo ventures, Brian is the lead vocalist for the alt-rock band, The Star Crumbles. With musical mastermind Marc Schuster, their sound, deeply rooted in 80's new wave, is refreshingly modern. With Brian's compelling vocals and the band's dynamic energy, The Star Crumbles is making significant waves in the music industry. 

Brian Lambert's magnetic stage presence combined with his relentless passion for music makes him a standout artist. Whether he's performing solo or alongside his band, his tunes have the innate ability to elevate and motivate, solidifying his position as a rock and roll luminary for today's world.

From the Piney Woods of East Texas, Christopher Wright Music was borne out of strong conservative Christian values and a steady diet of Merle Haggard and Hank Williams, Jr. Christopher’s love for the art of music was fire-roasted by the likes of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Dr. Dre. For Christopher, these artists complemented his respect for music of The Outlaws of Country Music.

High school and college were hastened by good times and trouble. Those days flew by like a Ford Mercury fresh off the line. Christopher was a bit of a hell-raiser in his younger days. Had a few run-ins with the law. “I got sidetracked with fast living, illegal shit, and shortcuts. Addiction made my straight lines into circles. Life was all fun and games until it wasn’t. I never shot anybody’s dog or anything, but I surely danced with the devil. After a few cold nights in county, I woke the hell up. Then it was the warm light of God”s word that guided me back to the light. In my desperation I found a deeper appreciation for everything I was losing.”

In 2016 Christopher was diagnosed with acute liver failure. “That shit brought me to my knees. “Christopher credits his faith to getting him sober. And music for saving his life.Christopher’s voice is deep, direct, and steady like a locomotive. His music will no doubt resonate with folks who are seeking light in the dark.
