Mark D. Conklin is a singer/songwriter from New Jersey who describes himself "Like Springsteen…only funnier…but not NEARLY as cool!" His music is truly American, blending his background in classic rock and blues with the craft of Nashville songwriting which he has honed over the years in his second home, Music City, TN. Critics have described his songs as smart, satirical and soulful in the vein of Randy Newman, John Hiatt and Lyle Lovett.

John Sontag is a mix of the mellow, melodic voice of James Taylor, the meaty slices of life of John Gorka and the exceptional guitar playing of John Mayer, Sonntag is an extremely talented contributor to Central Jersey's plentiful stable of singer-songwriters.
