Acclaimed for his passionate and energetic live performances, Jon Davidson tours relentlessly in support of his latest album, Perfect Cliche. The first two singles off the album have garnered airplay on over 200 FM stations across six radio formats: Modern Rock, AAA, Hot AC, Country, Rock, and College, and charted at #1 on several stations.
Jon Davidson is a solo artist as well as the frontman for the hard rock band Silversafe. The singles “Beautifully Bittersweet” and “Going Home,” from Perfect Cliche, have garnered airplay on 200 FM stations in 45 states, and will be included in several upcoming films and MTV shows. His single, “What Can I Say?” has been selected for inclusion in the 2010 film, “Twisted Redemption.” He has toured in 5 countries and played with artists such as Powerman 5000, Puddle of Mudd, The Exies, and Hurt.
Russell Stafford is an Australian born singer/songwriter residing in Portland, Oregon. Since releasing his debut album “Freshwater” in 2005, Russell has shared the stage with such prominent artists as Augustana, Anna Nalick, Josh Radin, Mat Kearney, Meese and more. His unique sound, powerful performances and genuine character have garnered him both local and national radio airplay, and a dedicated Northwest fan base.
In 2008, Russell released the much awaited follow-up to Freshwater. Fittingly titled “Between You & I”, he continued his efforts to break out of typical singer/songwriter restraints. In 2009, Crucial Music Publishing began using songs from Between U & I for select national broadcasters and independent films
The album weaves from the pop/rock single “Cheap Wine”, to the all out rocker, “Every time I come down” with a cohesive sound that’s as unexpected as it is unique. Joined by guitarist Kevin Hahn (Animotion, Tri-Polar, Castella, Kleveland), Bassist Dain Ryan (Dirty Little Fingers) and drummer, Jason Fellman (Breakfast Club, Jason Fellman Band), “Between You & I” is a testament to the diverse talent of this young songwriter.
Russell also lends his music and talents to many local and national charities, including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Humane Society and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.
