Editorial Reviews
Jason has been touring for several years now in a full time solo ministry sharing the message of unconditional love and acceptance for all people. For those of you who have experienced Jason's ministry, you know it is a beautiful and powerful musical and spiritual experience. Jason has been singing since he was a child, and even as a child he was aware of God's call on his life. From his roots in Evangelical Christian music ministry to the spiritual journey he has been on these past several years, these experiences have formed him into the man he is today. Jason toured with the professional Christian Contemporary recording group TRUTH in 1996, and after leaving Truth to finish his college career at Lee University, in Cleveland TN, he joined and toured with a group called THE SOUND in 1997 and 1998. After many detours and relocations, Jason felt called to Los Angeles in 2001, where he met deMarco.
Born of Italian-Canadian parents, deMarco's passion for singing began at an early age when he would fill the house singing songs taught to him by Catholic nuns. He discovered a love for music and theater and studied both at a performing arts school, and later at York University. Since his relocation to the West Coast from Canada five years ago, deMarco has been making waves performing in concerts, festivals, and clubs in Los Angeles and across the country. He has been active in both the music and acting industries and his face has been seen on several commercials nationwide. After touring in Italy as the lead vocalist in a theatrical production during the summer of 2002, he returned to Los Angeles where he and Jason began planning their first tour together.
After performing across the country in December of 2002, introducing their Christmas program entitled "The Spirit of Christmas", Jason and deMarco felt called to continue touring together, announcing their Songs for the Spirit Tour 2003. In conjunction with the tour, they released a duo CD entitled "Songs for the Spirit" featuring traditional hymns, praise and worship favorites, and also included several original songs they wrote especially for the album. They are currently working on their newest CD project, "Spirit Pop", which will be the long anticipated cross-over acoustic pop CD many have been waiting for. They are introducing their music, message and style to the mainstream world in a new way!
Jason and deMarco's music redefines what many think of as Spiritual. There's a tangible difference. They have an ability to somehow touch everyone with their music, reaching across normal stylistic and spiritual boundaries. It seems to transcend whatever notions you may have about what Spiritual or contemporary means. Jason and deMarco's passion for their purpose and refreshing exuberance toward their craft create a high-impact music experience that will surely make a difference in the lives of all who experience it. They are excited about the path before them and they invite you to join them on this journey!
Jason and deMarco are available for booking now. The schedule is filling up fast, so please check your calendars and contact us as soon as possible to discuss a future booking date. We hope to see you at one of the concerts, but if you can't make it to a venue near you, there are several CD's available for purchase online.

Different, but AMAZING........2007-08-01
The album is alot darker, lyrically and musically. It deals with the hardships of living the Christian life, with themes of hope, faith, and spiritual warfare. The lyrics are very deep and masterful, expressing the girls' faith through the years.
1. Song for the Broken (8/10) - The opener for this album starts out with a lot of strings, very catchy and guitar-driven, but doesnt stand out as much as the other songs.
2. I Believe in Love (10/10) - Fell in love with this on first listen. Powerful lyrics, deals with faith in midst of hardships.
3. Here's my Life (10/10) - The album's first single. This song takes awhile to get into, starts out very slow with synthesizers but ends strong with a lot of guitars.
4. Keep Quiet (8/10) - very bass-driven, but seems to lack something musically, deals with not being ashamed to speak about your faith.
5. Million Voices (10/10) - BarlowGirl's most outspoken song yet! This song is where the album's name "How Can We Be Silent" comes from. Sends an anthem to this generation. A ton of guitar, distortion, and drums. This is their rockiest song so far.
6. Sweet Revenge (9/10) - Also a very catchy song with strings. Deals with forgiveness.
7. One More Round (9/10) - BarlowGirl's first attempt at Jazz, one of the songs that make this CD so different. It took me a couple listens to like it. This song is where the CD cover's boxing ring comes from. No matter how many times we get knocked down, we have to get up and go for one more round.
8. Take My Chances (6/10) - Not my favorite. It comes from Romans 12:2, the verse BarlowGirl is most known for. The lyrics are pretty good, but musically it sounds too much like your typical rock band.
9. Guy Song (8/10) - This song is a challenge to the guys to stand up for their beliefs. Lyrically, good, musically, alright, but this song just somehow doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the album.
10. I Don't Regret (10/10) - The ballad of the CD. very melancholic. Lyrics are very deep, one of the songs that really show the maturity of the girls' song writing.
This CD is one of the best, highly recommended whether you've been a long time fan or not.
Fabulous .......2007-07-27
The musicianship in this group is very impressive, and I've about decided I am going to go back to the Christian store and purchase more of their music.
Praiseworthy Music!.......2007-07-26
Back to the main topic ...
As a matter of personal taste, I'd have to admit that HOW CAN WE BE SILENT isn't as strong as their previous outing (ANOTHER JOURNAL ENTRY, with its terrific pop/rockish anthem 'I Need You To Love Me,' spawned two releases -- the original and a special edition), but that's largely because ANOTHER -- the group's second disk -- really catapulted the Barlow girls to the stratosphere of the Christian music industry so it's inevitably a hard act to follow.
Still, the girls have matured, and so has their sound. The music -- while a bit melancholy, a bit meditative -- is more complex than the tracks on ANOTHER JOURNAL ENTRY (I think one of the attributes of that disc is the fact that the music felt stripped down to basics, matching their Journalized thoughts, a huge strong point); as they've grown, matured, experienced new challenges to life and faith, they've brought their music with them, and it's followed the same course. Their harmonies are far more poised, pronounced, and polished, and I think the only weakness here to matching musical complexity with lyrical complexity (if there is such a thing) is that I found myself trying to listen past the lyrics to hear some of the amazing sounds. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, just ironically distracting at times.
Thankfully, though, Barlowgirl knows how to rock, as is evidenced on my favorite track, 'Million Voices.' This is a massive track -- arguably this disk's 'I Need You To Love Me' -- a breakout runaway personal theme song for the entire Christian rock industry if not their entire Christian movement spanning centuries. (Yeah, maybe that's a bit strong, but so's the song!) With a driving beat and throbbing rock coupled with heavenly harmonies, this is the track I kept going back to over and over and over again. This is the track that, like their previous disc, was the perfect blend of words and music.
Keep at it, girls, keep 'journaling' your music. In my book, you'll always be a wonderful act for inspiration.

Though not their first-ever career survey, Rush's Spirit of Radio compilation is an ideal point of entry for newbie fans or anyone who consistently likes the Rush songs most often heard on commercial radio. While 1990's Chronicles set was more encompassing--including tracks beyond Spirit of Radio's '87 cut-off point--the Canadian prog-rock trio's benchmark moments are represented among these 16 songs. Hence the appearance of "Closer to the Heart," "Tom Sawyer," "New World Man," "Time Stand Still," "Fly by Night," "Subdivisions," and the title track. --Kim HughesCustomer Reviews:

The Spirit of Radio, the hits of Rush.......2007-02-02
Rush has three decades of music to sift through so with "The Spirit of Radio", it's a nice collection of hits from their earliest studio albums up to the late eighties.
I enjoyed the double CD set "Chronicles" that they released in 1990 which was also a nice hits package, but this is still something to savor. Old classics like "Working Man" are still as energetic a listen as when I first heard them, and the song I myself think of them the most by which is "Fly By Night" is on here as well. Jump to track three and you will experience the eclectic and timeless space overture known as "2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx" Syrinx clocks in at over six minutes long and has a lot of depth in musicianship and instrumental prowess. The ever poetic "Closer to the Heart" is a woeful and powerful single that is another gem on the album. "The Trees" is another classic that is a creative song with a lot of meaning and a killer guitar solo. "The spirit of Radio" is a pick me up and graciously stages Neal Peart's drum expertise at the forefront. "Freewill" is another old friend that is clever in its lyrics and has some dark tones to it amidst a range of great sounds and melodies. The emotional opening of "Limelight" takes you further on the journey of hits and is one of my favorites with Geddy Lee forging ahead with vocals that evoke various themes and thoughts.
Track nine is "Tom Sawyer", perhaps the most popular FM Radio hit the band had from the album "Moving Pictures". Along for the ride (no pun intended) from that album is also the Futuristic sci-fi theme of "Red Barchetta" which is about a boy in a strict government dominating future that has "car laws" and as you listen you experience the day he takes his uncles hidden car for a ride. The powerful anthem of "New World Man" glides in at track eleven and is one of the more ambient songs from the bands later material. "Subdivisions" is as dire as ever and has an intro that one cannot miss. The pop synergy of "Distant Early Warning" is on here as well, followed by another FM staple in the catchy track known as "The Big Money".
The album rounds out with the epic track "Force Ten" that is fast and fun, and although I was never a big fan of the song, still has enough staying power to definitely be included on here. The sonic "Time Stand Still" comes in as track sixteen and has some amazing changeups in tone. Heartfelt in the chorus, Time Stand Still is the perfect song to end this masterpiece collection with.
If you even "like" Rush, you should look into getting this album. Thirteen years of various songs that make for a sound and complete hits package for perhaps what could be called the "First Half" of the bands tenure. I wasn't sure at first about getting a CD like this of the bands material since I already had several studio albums from over the years, but I got this delivered today and definitely don't regret it now. They are one of the most innovative and artistic rock bands of the past thirty years, so how could you go wrong?

"So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune," sings Michelle Branch on her debut album's "You Get Me." Well, maybe. Branch offers a well-produced pastiche of chiming and strumming guitars, hip-hop-lite beats, quiet-verse-to-louder-chorus templates, and positive thinking. At her best--"If She Only Knew," a propulsive love note to an ex--she rivals the likes of Sixpence None the Richer as likable radio-aimed fare. Catchy and self-expressive while breaking absolutely no ground, Branch also echoes everyone from label-mate Alanis Morissette to the solo Belinda Carlisle. She dies just a little in this crazy mixed-up world, escapes to her secret garden for sunshine in the pouring rain, and ultimately finds her reflection getting clearer. The Spirit Room could be the next bit of pop philosophy to dazzle mainstream audiences. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
very impressive.......2007-06-22
This album is a breath of fresh air. No really, it is!.......2007-06-12
And don't get me started on John Shanks. This guy is a musical genius. He works with Michelle Branch on production and helps write five of the eleven songs on this nice full length debut. He is also responsible for the catchiness of Ashlee Simpson songs, which most of them I love.
Best songs:
All You Wanted
Goodbye To You
Drop In The Ocean (this song is amazing)
Honorable Mention:
Something To Sleep To
If you don't own any CDs by this talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/etc, etc. It would be wise to start at the beginning with The Spirit Room.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the song titles: Maybe I'm in the minority, but some of them were just too predictable, leaving some of the songs to lack a bit of depth. I believe Michelle was rather young when she wrote some of these songs though...
Anyway, 4 stars!
P.S. My favorite line is in the song Goodbye To You. It's capitalized:
"I've been searchin' deep down in my soul/Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old/Feels like I'm starting all over again/THE LAST 3 YEARS WERE JUST PRETEND...
" If you want to, I can save you..." - Michelle Branch ROCKS .......2007-05-20
1. Everywhere- 10/10 This song's one of my favorites! It has a nice upbeat tune to it, and the lyrics are catchy. A great way to start a career.
2. You get me- 10/10 Another Great song! I like the lyrics "So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune". It's great for any teen who feels ordinary.
3. All you wanted-10/10 Such a good song! I can feel it's about her trying to save a boy from the popular crowd. Here everything fits.. the lyrics, music, everything.
4.You set me free- 9/10- Everything's good in this song, just not upbeat enough for me, but it's also great!
5.Something to sleep to- 8/10 As the song says.. it's good to listen to if you want a soothing sensation before sleeping!
6.Here with me-9/10 Not the best, but still has everything nice and flowing. I like it.
7.Sweet Misery- 9/10 It's catchy, and the musics good, but I like All you wanted and Everywhere better.
8.If she only knew- 10/10 This is another favorite! It's fun, and I'm sure anyone would love Michelle after hearing this song.
9. I'd rather be in love- 9/10 This song shows Michelle wise beyond 18. The lyrics fit the mood and music of the song.
10.Goodbye to you- 10/10 A song about moving on with your life. This fits all the feeling you're supposed to fell after a break-up. Another fave.
11.Drop in the Ocean- 8/10 A bit too mellow for me, but it's perfect to end the album.
Beautiful tunes and lyrics.......2007-01-08
Michelle Branch rocks!.......2006-12-26
1. Everywhere- 9/10- A fun and upbeat song. Pretty good, love the intro to it.
2. You Get Me- 5/10- It's pretty, but just too slow to me. Maybe it'll grow on me eventually.
3. All You Wanted- 10/10- The BEST on the album. Love it! Was this a single? If not, it definalty should have been.
4. You Set Me Free- 10/10- Like i already wrote, I got this CD after hearing this song on Ice Princess. Really good and fun to sing to.
5. Something to Sleep To- 7/10- OK. You should listen to it if you want to go to sleep. I still think it's OK.
6. Here With Me- 9/10- Love the beginning and the chorus. It seems like a really good song for a party.
7. Sweet Misery- 6/10- OK also. I just don't really like how the chorus is and it's too short.
8. If Only She Knew- 10/10- Fun and cool. One of my favorites.
9. I'd Rather Be in Love- 7/10- Sounds alot like Sweet Misery.
10. Goodbye to You- 8/10- This is a really pretty song about moving on in life.
11. Drop in the OCean- I don't really get this song. I'm not going to rate it.
Overall, this CD gets an A. It's pretty good. I think you should buy it.

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance. All but two melodies are entirely traditional, bringing together flute, drums, and vocals with a cello and keyboard wash. This marriage is most effective on the lovely bowing of "The Cradlesong," and the looping electro-acoustic beauty of "Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity." Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation." An uneven offering, Sacred Spirit doesn't quite live up to its promise. A better choice is Earthbeat's Tribal Waters. --Paige La GroneCustomer Reviews:

It's time for an update of our image of Jewel, the ingenue who set the music world on fire with her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You. After all, that effort consisted primarily of songs Jewel had written several years before, some of them dating back to her days as a free- spirited waif living in a van on the beach in San Diego. Now, at 25, she's become a sort of guru for self-expression and full disclosure, revealing perhaps too much of herself in see-through dresses worn to awards shows and a critically drubbed (yet bestselling) book of poetry. Spirit makes plain why Jewel's well-intentioned yet sometimes facile lyrics strike a chord with her audience while her poetry lies flat on the page. On songs like "Deep Water," "Hands," and "Down So Long," her words are borne aloft by sparkling melodies and her soaring voice, making even the most cynical observer take a schoolgirl-notebook image such as "your heart like grape gum on the ground" or an unreassuring platitude like "If I could tell the world just one thing / It would be that we're all OK" somewhat in stride. On Pieces of You, Jewel posed the musical question "Who will save your soul?" On Spirit, it sounds like she wants to do it herself. And the truth is, if you don't overanalyze it, the album does act as a sort of balm for wounded psyches or maybe a primer for raising your own inner child. Maybe she's right and we are all OK.

Great Jewel Cd.......2007-01-08
some rhythm in the madness.......2007-01-02
It either draws one in with ineffable appeal, or puts one off in the way of people who try a little too hard.
This reviewer puts this down to the combination of fine skills and a twist of artistic narcissism that seems to penetrate the lady's art. Marshall McLuhan famously claimed that 'the medium is the message'. Jewel often seems to be forcing a message into an art form that is not exactly fitted to the effort.
Yet she sometimes breaks through to persuasiveness, even with a tune that is heavily laden with message ('Hands').
It may be that this artist with the stunning good looks and the almost eery voice will remain a musical enigma, the twin impulses she generates creating two distinct publics, one highly devoted to her every album, the other cynical and generative of nasty-minded anti-Jewel websites.
She has styled herself a kind of troubadour of the religion of tolerant niceness. This is all good, as far as it goes. Yet it inevitably wears thin when its definition of either religion, tolerance, or niceness bumps into others that it finds incomprehensible. An artist who stays to conventional themes runs little risk of this happening. But Jewel, like the dinner guest who brings up religion, politics, or sex at the dinner table, will doubtless continue to find herself called upon to articulate her convictions. That tends to make art messy, ideological, and short-lived.
Yet just when one begins to fear the worst, she ends an album with a hauntingly gorgeous love song like 'Absence of Fear', its gentle piano intro setting the stage for a humble, poignant, and yearning piece. Enigma indeed.
Let's hope Jewel's considerable gifts trump any dire artistic turn of events and that she continues to toss off the striking hit ever year or two.
