Savannah

Jessica Lerner
Jessica Lerner, from San Diego, CA, is so excited to be making her debut in Portland, Oregon. Jessica's singer/songwriter musical style is unique as she writes and performs on piano and guitar. Jessica just released her self-titled CD, which will be sold at the concert, all profits going to the Cure JM Foundation. Jessica's music speaks to a wide audience. Jessica's writing style is very relatable and genuine as she shares her thoughts and experiences with the world. Jessica's biggest goal is to reach as many people as she can and do good things with her music. The best moments for Jessica are when someone buys her CD because they "need that song." Since age 8, Jessica has been regularly performing in San Diego at the local malls, private venues and the Star Spangled Banner 10 times for the San Diego Padres. Jessica's first music video of "Miracle'" is coming soon. The Cure JM Benefit Concert is very dear to Jessica because her song "Miracle" inspired this concert and Jessica helped plan this wonderful event from the beginning.

Waiting In Vain
Waiting In Vain started out as a friendship between Ben and Dylan, who just happen to share a love for Reggae and Ska. Pretty soon Cayla joined the band as the drummer and everything sky-rocketed from there. After a couple of shows and the recording their EP, they still needed a bassist. Along came Matt Stolt (From Under Judgment), fitting their appetite for a great reggae bassist. Among achievements in the year of being together, our song "Karma" has played on 94.7 Alternative Portland. Also the song "The Spaces Between" was chosen to be on The Pier's Pacific NW Sampler. They played a handful of shows at The Hawthorne Theatre and the Satyricon (Portland, OR). They should be finishing their full length album by Summertime. www.myspace.com/waitinginvain0608

Cellar Door
Hailing from a dusty Portland Oregon basement, Cellar Door is the hybrid of a technically versed rhythm section, while having snappy, intelligent hooks. This pop rock alternative four piece places diversity and musicianship in the forefront while maintaining an energy that echoes loudly of the bygone grunge era of Portland yesteryear.
“The band itself was kinetic as they were a mix of Fuel, STP, Black Crowes and Live. They did a five song set and sold me instantly on them, the songs were full of lyrics that make you think but can be fun as well.” ~Hooved Shaman

Innocent Rebellion
We are proud to say that we are a Christian rock band. But don’t be fooled, we can blow a speaker or two and have a great time doing it!
We all met while playing for various worship bands at our home church, Evergreen Christian Center in Hillsboro, Oregon. The worship ministry is great, but we decided we could touch more lives by forming our own band, writing our own original songs and playing everywhere we were able.
In the last year-and-a-half, we’ve been doing just that; playing everywhere from parks, coffee houses and parties to art festivals and, of course, churches. We even found time to record our first CD entitled “91:4” which was released in May 2009. To learn more about us or listen to our music visit us at www.myspace.com/innocentrebellion

Rosanne Sorboro
Event co-host - Let’s be honest; Rosanne is probably the only native Las Vegan you will ever meet. She loves to play volleyball, basketball, softball, and poker because she likes to kick butt and win. Her awesome family and friends are often the inspiration for her stand- up comedy and sketch comedy. Even with the temptation of home delivery, she does her own grocery shopping. She thinks jokes about your Mom are hilarious. She has a fear of dehydration, but wine seems to help. Rosanne was a genius dancer in a past life, and is an up and coming stand- up comedian in this one. She thinks everyone should have at least a little bit of sparkle in their wardrobe, a nice bathrobe, and use sunscreen.
