Eric Boff Popular

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.

Robin Horlock Band
Description: In May, 2003, the Robin Horlock Band was born. With Robin on vocals and guitar, Ryan “Toby” Hyland on drums, John “Nyno” Galik on bass, Kenny Sams on guitar and Mike Vartanian on keyboards, the Robin Horlock Band has played several notable venues. These include, The Ford Motor Company Centennial Celebrations (which also featured Beyonce Knowles and Toby Keith), and headlining at The Michigan Princess Riverboat in Lansing, MI. Also headlining shows such as The Magic Bag in Ferndale, Hayloft, Mt. Clemens, Emerald Theater in Mt. Clemens, and Fifth Avenue Ballroom in Novi signal that "the Robin Horlock Band has arrived". Always a kick-ass show, the band's energy is infectious as they play a growing number of Robin's commercial, yet introspective, acoustic rock songs and ballads with passion and conviction.

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
