Justin Caldwell (Rock / Jazz / Pop)
with special guest Sean McConnell (Folk Rock / Rock / Americana)
“Like no one else you’ve ever heard.” “A sound that will stand the test of time.” Nothing new right? You’ve heard it before; you hear it all the time. You haven’t heard Justin Caldwell.
Sean McConnell was performing on stage before he ever knew it. Ok, maybe hanging out in your mamma’s tummy while she is singing on stage doesn’t count as performing, but he was up there nonetheless. He was born into a family of full-time musicians. Growing up in the coffee houses of the Boston folk scene, Sean watched his parents playing songs written by Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen, David Wilcox, Shawn Colvin, Harry Chapin, CSNY, James Taylor and others of the like. Unknown to himself or his parents, Sean was soaking it all in and locking it away somewhere inside. Unaware of it, Sean was enrolled in the most important class of his career.
Valentine’s Day Dinner ft. Ellery (Pop / Indie / Folk)
Ellery is comprised of husband-wife team Tasha and Justin Golden, who released their debut record as Ellery in 2005. Their new offering takes its title from the third track by the same name. Tasha, Ellery's voice and songwriter, wrote "You Did Everything Right" in response to the hardships faced by her mother, and by Justin's. "It was my way of processing these women's stories," says Tasha, "and the way those stories have seeped into mine. The song still feels intensely personal. I think it always will.

THE RETURN OF JOHN WEST! (Soul / Acoustic / Jazz)
with special guest Jones For Revival (Jam Band / Progressive / Fusion)
John West was the opening act for the fall Danity Kane concert, returning to YSU by demand!
With simple honesty about complex emotions, John West creates soul without crooning, and pop without gloss. "In life, it's scary when you've never experienced something before, but if a song can be a guide, or a roadmap, that's a beautiful thing," says the now L.A.-based Southern boy who cites Otis Redding, Cat Stevens, Jill Scott and Jack Johnson as primary influences.
Jones For Revival started in the summer of 2004. From the beginning the intention of the band was to try to revive the music scene with fresh, no rules, upbeat jams that everyone could enjoy. Throughout the journey the band has strengthened their ability to project a positive vibe to their listeners and has gained a following of loyal fans who share the same musical understanding and appreciation as they do.
