GIFTHORSE
Description: Gifthorse is the brainchild of songwriters Zack Plastow, John MacKenzie and Bruce Niblett. ‘Tumbleweed’ (the band’s first full length release) is a collaborative effort that explores the themes of love and desire, loss and despair and ultimately hope and understanding through a sonic landscape of rhythm and melody. With influences ranging from rock and pop, jazz and blues to folk and country, ‘Tumbleweed’ is an ornate tapestry of layered guitars, interactive rhythms, and vocal harmonies that give Gifthorse its signature sound. As 2006 came to a close the guys were confident in the material they had written and decided it was time to record an album. Setting up shop in Zack’s basement studio, they began working on what was to become ‘Tumbleweed’. After sketching out the basic guitar tracks and vocals, Doug Bridges was selected to play drums on the album and Sean Bondareff was brought in to play bass. The rhythm section of Bridges and Bondareff couldn't have been better. Their performances truly compliment the songs on 'Tumbleweed' and elevate the album to a higher level. Gifthorse is not what you’d expect from a band out of Detroit. In a town known mostly for garage rock and rap, Gifthorse is an anomaly. With a plethora of influences, the Gifthorse sound defies placement in any single genre, but it is also unmistakable nonetheless. Employing acoustic and electric guitars, three part harmonies, engaging melodies and thought provoking lyrics, Gifthorse has developed their own unique and powerful sound: A fresh sound reminiscent of everything good from the 70s, colliding with the future. With original songwriting and inspired live performances, Gifthorse is a band to watch.

Eric Boff 
Description: Eric Boff is a rare breed in the world of music. Just after turning twenty, he already knows the history and evolution of popular music since the early 1950s. He has also studied guitar for five years, focusing mainly on blues and rock. Erics almost encyclopedic knowledge of music history is a great advantage. By knowing where other musicians have been, he has a clearer idea of where he wants to go and how to incorporate what has already been done. Starting out as a solo artist he has a high ceiling with his seemingly effortless work on the guitar and his ability to play with the crowd. An excellent product with room to expand to many generations of listeners.

Jason Eller of AfterNine
Description: DIESEL-FUELED ACOUSTICS describes Jason's shows. While writing lyrically sound, emotion-evoking original music, depending on the venue, Jason also entertains those who patron with a barrage of covers they are sure to know.
Jason Eller and AfterNine represents the belief that luck is hard work. In August of 2004, Jason resigned from his 8th grade science position @ Grant Middle School in Grant, MI as a result of hooking up with J&J Entertainment, a talent agency out of Grand Rapids, MI. Today, Jason books his own shows along with J&J Entertainment, and continuously keeps in contact with his fans through personal emails and The AfterLife, the monthly newsletter. There is no hype here; only truth offered in the form of one journey into the business of music.
Jason delivers a "You need to make your own dreams come true," attitude because he believes, as Victor Hugo said; "Music expresses that which cannot be said, and on which it is impossible to be silent."
We welcome the chance to show you what happens when dedication and drive replace the fear of the unknown. AfterNineRocks.com is not a place to visit the untouchable. It's a place to touch. It's a place to hear. And, it's a place to see. To become part of the AfterLife and the journey that is AfterNine, you may register at AfterNineRocks.com
