Local singer-songwriter Tyler Akin laughs about his first time performing at GJs, 3 or 4 years ago. He was a member of a short-lived band called Ticket To Ride (and re-named Dirt Bikes of the Year) - a gig that proved to be their first and last performance as a band! Since then Tyler has been involved in other bands that stuck around longer, including Alethia (Carousel) - but he is now happily charting his own course in music.
With thought-provoking songs such as "Where We Stand" and "The Truth of My Being", Tyler sings honestly about experiences of real life - relationships, struggles, and faith. Join us on September 13th as we welcome Tyler and his band back to GJs!
Adriane Blanco's personal mission statement says a lot about him: "Modeling a life of love for God and people through the vehicle of music." From what we could tell when Adriane performed at GJs last year, Adriane is being consistent with his mission statement in everything he does. As an artist who sees music not just as a commodity, but as a tool to help promote a positive change in the world, Adriane can be seen regularly playing at homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers for people struggling with anxiety and eating disorders. He also serves as the Director of Music and Programming at Paradise Valley Community Church (Phoenix) and the Executive Director of Renewal Performing Arts.
Adriane's music has been described as a mix of rock 'n' roll and alternative country, combined with the British Invasion sound. His debut CD (produced by Patrick Andrew of PFR) has sold well, with some radio air-play (KBCU-FM) and songs in the top 20 of indieheaven.com. Adriane has recently signed with Canvas Burning Productions for his sophomore project, with early 2009 set for its release.
Obviously, Adriane takes his craft and ministry seriously, combining high quality musicianship and Christ-like servanthood. We're looking forward to welcoming Adriane and his band back to GJs on September 13th!
