Waiting to Run started out as Sue and her guitar… singing on stage the thoughts and prayers that came out of her heart while sitting at the kitchen table or out on the back porch. Now with her sister, Lauren, at her side Waiting to Run has become not just sweet melodies, but a blend of harmonies that draw you in. The desire of Waiting to Run is not to write music that sticks in your head, but words and melodies that will stick in your spirit; changing you, encouraging you, and challenging you. Their songs are about love, hope, and where we find them. Genre: acoustic/christian/chinese pop |

My musical journey began when I was very young, I started beating on a drum set when I was a toddler. At the age of 12 I began to teach myself the guitar. If you are a musician or want to become a musician here's my two cents...don't give up, never give up. The songs on my page are my early attempts at recording my progress. My goal for '09 is to record an album in the studio. Thank you to everyone for the support! I'm doing this because it's my dream and my hope is that I can give you a tiny bit of inspiration through my music. Genre: acoustic / pop / rock

Jerimae Yoder's personal revolution began in 1995. A "radical self- turning" is how Jerimae describes the transformation that began on a summer evening on a park bench in Northern Michigan. Nothing would be the same from that point on. As he packed up his red VW bus bound for California from his home in Goshen IN., God began to work in all his situations. His self described style of music is "Modern Acoustic" melding together acoustic guitar with electronic elements. Jerimae has shared the stage with Jars of Clay, the OC Supertones, The Rock and Roll Worship Circus, Paul Coleman and Sean Groves to mention a few. Genre: Creative Worship
