Jake Tittle came together in early 2015 with producer Jon Joseph and drummer Dan Bailey to write and record his full length debut record as a solo artist. Tittle approaches songwriting in a deeply personal and existential way. Accompanied by folk-rock and quasi-bluegrass arrangements, Tittle sings of family, friends and spiritual skepticism in a manner that feels almost conversational.     @JakeTittle

Project Pete Ford is playing with a purpose! Midway through his second year as a business student at Miami University, Ford had the realization that he was not cut out for this 'one size fits all' lifestyle. He chose to embrace his individuality and decided to drop out of school and pursue the daunting dream of becoming a professional songwriter.      @projectpeteford
