Adam Searan:
Most would agree in saying that when it comes to style and performance the artist known as Adam Searan delivers. With his passionate lyrics , and haunting melodies he is sure to be a staple in any great music collection. Adam, At the age of 15 began experimenting musically with simple songs that reflected many of the hardships regarding new relationships, the reasons for heartbreak and how to cope with tough times through a faith based, but also realistic perspective. Inspired by the sounds of the British rock phenomenon Oasis and fueled by a vast variety of other artists such as James Taylor , John Mayer , Ben Harper , David Gray and many others this young artist has grown into a solid guitar player and a very reflective song writer. Adam has always said that "being a Christian has nothing to do with music, but everything to do with dealing with the very real things you will experience in life ", he continues to say "through the music I write I hope you see Christ in the reality of the songs. A real Jesus can be seen in real situations by writing about them. I believe these songs are for everyone, God has a way of reaching out to people on his own terms. I am a person who writes about life, if God cannot be seen in life then where will he be seen?" Since the conception of his musical abilities adam has had a song placed in the prime time hit series Cold Case. Adam has also worked with producer Monroe Jones on the Roads to Rome project which included touring and opening for the band on several of their dates. Adam has also played in some of Nashville's popular venues and continues to build his musical legacy with songs that not only move the soul , but change the dynamic of life to those who hear them.
Rachel Pearl:
Rachel Pearl’s voice is mesmerizing, transporting; her fashions are elegant, eccentric; and her mix of musical styles never fails to take her audience to places they don’t expect to go… A tousle of red atop shapely dress, she takes the old, mixes it with the new and constantly tests the boundaries of where music should go. Pearl has a way of turning every vocal performance into a lesson in chemistry between an audience and a true artist.
Whether she’s channeling the 20th Century classics of Ella, Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee or crooning one of the self-penned compositions from her CDs, Rachel Pearl is consistently putting down roots in her own chosen field.
You can usually find her in Nashville’s backyard and all over the United States experimenting in night clubs, coffee houses, house concerts, and restaurants. Careful - her chemistry will entice you inside. Before you even know it your hand will be stamped and you’ll find your eyes focusing on a spot-lit stage. There you’ll see a tousle of red atop shapely dress. And if you’re lucky enough to find a table, sit back, and just listen to Rachel Pearl.

Loren Johnson:
Loren Johnson is an award-winning singer-songwriter, producer, and music entrepreneur. His intimate, memorable, and passionately crafted songs unite melodic breadth and lyrical depth in pursuit of the “perfect love song.” His work has been likened to an array of singer-songwriters including Damien Rice, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and David Gray, while his compositions and vocals have a unique and compelling imprint all their own.
Born in the United States, but raised in such diverse countries as Bahrain, Ecuador and Trinidad, Loren called Los Angeles home until recently when he moved to the beautiful countryside just outside Nashville.
He earned an MBA from Baylor University and spent his early years in Los Angeles working as a consultant, creative director, producer and music entrepreneur earning credits on over 50 national releases for various artists, Grammy award-winning producers, and record labels.
After an unexpected downturn leading to the verge of homelessness and what he now calls a “beautiful brokenness,” Loren responded in song. Doors opened, first in Hollywood clubs, then amphitheatres, theatres and churches, and in such distant places as India, Kazakhstan, Romania, and Argentina. In just the last seven years in fact, his songs have placed him before live audiences totaling more than 375,000.
While serving as a worship and arts pastor in Redondo Beach, California, Loren directed a team of more than 70 leaders, musicians, and vocalists. During these seven years he was also called upon regularly to organize and lead music for numerous citywide events.
He remains a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and is a two-time winner of Los Angeles Music Awards in the Best Artist and Best Producer categories. He also made the finals and the judges’ top three at Puckett’s recent Rising Star Songwriter Contest in Franklin, TN.
Loren has recorded and released four projects of his own: Simplicity, The Unexpected, Wholly, and a live worship project called ONE, through CEO Records. His fifth and recent release, Fractal, was produced, recorded, and mixed by internationally acclaimed artist and songwriter, Kevin Prosch.
Loren is passionately in love with his beautiful wife, Christine, and is the proud father of three.
