Jude’s musician father cringed as Jude mastered the popular video game Guitar Hero at age 11, fearing that he would never be able to make the transition from buttons on a fret board to an actual guitar.  But, time would prove those fears to be far from the truth. 

Trained first as a classical pianist, Jude rapidly migrated his ear-training and understanding of music theory to guitar with uncanny ease.  Music became like breathing to Jude in his teenage years and he found himself inhaling the music of 1970s artists like George Benson, Michael Jackson, and Steely Dan. Raised in church, Jude frequently found himself comfortably on stage playing and leading while filling roles on drums, bass, guitar and keyboards while developing his pop soul vocal abilities.  Jude naturally progressed into the world of songwriting and self-recorded his first self titled EP at age 19.

Jude has garnered a large following on Instagram and is currently performing live in venues across the country. His self produced, written, and performed music, amassing over 3,000,000 streams worldwide, shines a blend of Blue-eyed Soul/Pop, mixed with influences from 70’s and 80’s—all centered around his guitar playing and voice as a songwriter. His music theory “genius” subtly and tastefully surprises listeners whether they are listening online or at one of his live shows. One promoter summed it up best when he wrote, “I first saw Jude in 2021 doing a short artist spotlight and knew immediately I wanted to book him. His guitar prowess is electrifying. His vocal chops are unmatched, and the power of his music resonates beyond genre”.  Jude’s endorsements include:  Fender Guitars, Martin Guitars, D’Addario, Ernie Ball, Orangewood Guitars, JHS Pedals, Beyerdynamic, AKG, Adam Audio.

Hailing from Atlanta, by-way-of Cincinnati, Tyler is a singer-songwriter who brings a fresh and purposeful approach to pop music. With his recently released singles "Way Out" and "Stay True," Tyler tells stories of triumph, but also heartbreak that have defined his personal story.

From a young age, songwriting has been how he interacts with the world on a deep level—wrestling in melody with some of the toughest questions life has to answer. Yet, in his opinion laughing through tears is sometimes the best antidote. Come hear what Noah is all about!
