More on eMusic Wire

OG8's concept is the brainchild of Troy Williver, known for his lightening quick guitar licks. Searching for a lead singer led him to Las Vegas where he saw multi-award winning performer Jaime Lynch give a solid vocal performance and asked her to join the band. Not only did she join but she and Williver wrote the songs for the project. The other members of the band have lengthy track records touring and recording with top entertainers such as Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Arturo Sandoval and Linda Ronstadt, to mention a few. Also on hand to mix the performance will be the original sound engineer Drew Canulette.

"Dreamer," the first release is an uplifting ballad, with country undertones. Additional ballads include "Desolation," "Dark Side" and "Alibi." Hard rocker and rock anthems include "Fire," "Better Days" and "Woman."

"OG8" is produced and released by Beat Farm Music, a record label and music publishing company out of Sherwood, Oregon. For more information and upcoming tour dates log on to https://www.beatfarmmusic.com.
