Andrea
Wellard
Andrea was never one to settle for normal, both in life and in
music. Early in her musical explorations, she was constantly
exploring new ways to express herself through music. She was
not one to be content with just a little talent, but like the
good servant of the parable, she quickly turned her talent
into many talents. For someone so young, she's already come a
long way in her musical journey.

KATE WHITE
& TABLE ROCK ROAD
Kate is a concert artist, worship leader, songwriter and
violinist. She grew up in a musical family, where she
studied classically, but also played fiddle and sang in her
family bluegrass band. Kate’s songs are very much a
reflection of her life experiences with God. In sharing
about her music, Kate says, “I believe God is calling me to
write songs of faith, humility, honesty and surrender. God
has done such a healing and grace-filled work in my life! I
am learning that my walk with Him is about the journey /
wrestling we do with God along the way. It’s my heart to
write from an honest place. I pray that these songs would
reflect this process and touch the human heart, lifting it
longingly to God." |

We As Human
We As Human We As Human began in the
summer of 2001 as a young & raw 5 member rock band which
has since developed into an all out, no holds barred,
adrenaline packed musical experience. It is next to
impossible to leave one of their shows without having
been slung with their Christ affirming lyrics and a hope
that radiates Gods grace at every musical turn. It
is apparent that their one adamant goal is that of
reaching out and trying to grab those who have been in
the shadows waiting for the hope that is found only in
Jesus Christ. And they will make sure no one ever leaves
their shows without knowing that. |

SoulP Behind everything we have lies the soul. Our
souls are often regarded as intangible forces that
control our thoughts and actions as nothing else can.
When we shape our souls, we shape our lives. So how do
you contain that power with the medium of hip-hop? Look
no further, because a man with a true grasp of soul is
in the building.
Straight out of Portland comes Soul P., an emcee
who is destined to change the way you view the art form
of hip-hop. Born and raised in Seattle, Soul P. has been
through the struggle and is ready to share his story
with the world. Growing up in The Yesler Terrace
neighborhood, Soul P. came face-to-face with the harsh
realities of the streets at an early age. Though he was
surrounded by crack cocaine and gang warfare, Soul P.
persevered with the help of God and came out even
stronger than before. |

Emily Crawford
Emily Crawford has been singing her whole life, just ask
anyone who knows her. Her parents will tell you that as soon
as she could talk she started singing and has continued to
this day. Emily was born and raised in Burbank, California
where those closest to her watched her passion for music
grow over the years. When she was eleven, she asked her dad
to teach her to play the guitar so she could learn the
praise and worship songs that she sang at youth group.
Little did she know, as she held that big guitar and
struggled to learn those basic chords, by her sophomore year
of high school she would be leading worship for her youth
group.  |

OVERKAST
“To over cloud, darken, or make gloomy: Ominous clouds began to overcast the sky"
This is how we feel not only just in life but many times in our Christian walk;
some days it may seem like all hope is lost and maybe we
should not even get out of bed. Even just living can be a
hard thing as a believer. The clouds do roll in and things
can get dark. The goal and passion set out for this band is
to be a light in the dark places of life. We are here only
to show the light and love of Christ. The Lord has called us
to live a life above reproach and to tell all the world his
message of good news until all have heard.

MATINA
HUNNELL
For as long as she can remember, Matina has had
a passion for music. She was blessed to be able to take
piano lessons in her early years & always loved to sing. In
8th grade she began exploring songwriting and by her senior
year of high school, knew that's what she wanted to pursue.
Matina received her Bachelors degree in Songwriting from
Berklee College of Music.
Since graduation, she has recorded & interned at PDM
Recording Studios & is currently pursuing her jazz interests
by singing at local venues in Portland. Her love for
children & music has collided as she now teaches private
piano lessons & leads a teen worship band. Perhaps her
favorite form of music though, is just sitting at the piano
in a quiet room & singing her heart out to God. |
