JT Harker
JT Harker
Born and bred in San Jose, California, JT Harker's desire to perform came from attending countless concerts at nearby Shoreline Amphitheatre.
"I've probably forgotten more shows than I remember, there were so many. But Tom Petty, Brooks & Dunn, Blink 182, Outkast, Aerosmith... it didn't really matter what genre of music it was, I loved it all." JT says of his eclectic musical taste. However, it was a dual-headline Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney concert that stands out the most.
"I'll never forget that, Tim Mcgraw was the biggest thing in country music, and Kenny had just caught fire with 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy' and 'How Forever Feels', I just remember both of them running around the stage and the crowd being completely lost in in their songs. I thought to myself, being a country singer may be the coolest job in the world."
As the California country venue circuit picked up steam in the mid-2010's, JT took full advantage of the opportunities. Opening for established country artists Jake Owen, Rodney Atkins, Hardy, High Valley, Chase Bryant, Josh Thompson, Josh Abbot Band, Muscadine Bloodline, Devin Dawson, RaeLynn and Love and Theft, among others, JT and his ultra talented band rapidly made a name for themselves with their high-energy stage show.
They toured tirelessly throughout the west coast, "Name a honky-tonk or any bar that was doing a country music night in Southern California, and we probably played it. I remember counting our shows after we'd been going hard for three years, and we had played over 700."
Some of those venues include famous country bars such as Stoney's Rockin Country in Las Vegas, NV, Moonshine Flats in San Diego, CA, and Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Gilbert and Scottsdale, AZ.
Even after all the local and regional success, however, JT considered walking away from performing, but on a country-music cruise in 2018 he met producer/songwriter Derek George(Darius Rucker, Randy Houser, Joe Nichols). "Derek asked if I'd be interested in coming to Nashville and getting in the studio with him. Ummm, YES, yes i would.' JT says laughing.
Since inking a deal with George's Stepside Records in 2019, Harker has released 5 singles, the first two "Heaven Lost An Angel" (2019) and "If I Ain't Got You"(2020) doing well with the streaming and playlisting. His most recent single "She's A Fire" was on the Spotify curated New Music Nashville playlist for 6 weeks and is currently on the Young Nashville list.
His next high-energy single "Country Summer" is slated for a May 28 release on Stepside Records.

Jonny Tarr
I am originally from Wales, but somehow I always knew I would end up in California. I started playing the saxophone when I was 11 years of age because I thought it might get me girls and I ended up really loving it. I got involved with Jazz early on and found that this was a solid foundation for understanding many more genres of music. I went to Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts to get my music degree and after college I toured Europe, the US and Japan and played nearly every major festival in the UK as well as opening for people such as GOLDIE, THE EGG, BREAKBEAT ERA and GIL SCOTT HERON during the early 2000s. I was also part of the bands for PART TIME HEROES and THE NEXTMEN (with whom I wrote and sang the tune ROCKETS which has now had over 5.5 million streams on Spotify at time of writing) I was one of the first people in Europe to play saxophone with House music DJs and found that I was mostly interested in music that made people dance. This is the music I wanted to create. With the realization that the saxophone is not really a songwriting tool, I taught myself guitar and piano and I used my understanding of music theory to help me form bands and a unique solo show where I can pretty much incorporate all of my skills at once. I now consider myself a singer/songwriter first and foremost but I am consistently involved with a wide range of projects as well as my own band - THE JONNY TARR QUINTET. Since moving to the United States, I have been lucky enough to open for such legendary acts as THE VICTOR WOOTEN TRIO, OZOMATLI and THE FAMILY STONE, plus share the stage with Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP, multi grammy award winning BEBE WINANS and I have written dn recorded with MARIO CALDATTO JNR. the legendary producer of The Beastie Boys. I even got to be part of the opening act, THE PINK FLOYD EXPERIENCE for FOREIGNER’s Cold As Ice tour in 2019. I also recently won the SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARD for BEST POP ARTIST 2020 and headlined the NAMM show’s D’Angelico Stage 2020 with my Quintet. I am currently working on my second studio album for San Diego’s PACIFIC RECORDS which will be out in early 2023 and was just named as an OFFICIAL TAYLOR GUTARS ARTIST.

Anna Ballew
Anna Ballew
Anna Ballew grew up in a music-filled household— her father provided plenty of musical entertainment, whether that was a family jam session to Cat Stevens’ “Moonshadow” or playing some tunes on guitar after dinner parties. Anna’s formal entrance into music started with classical violin at age 4. After a brief stint of choir in 5th grade, she returned to violin, but this time playing bluegrass style-fiddle. This is where she truly fell in love with music— the free-form and playful nature of bluegrass music, compared to her more structured by-the-book experience with classical violin, inspired her to get back into singing and start learning guitar in high school. Largely self-taught on guitar, Anna started learning songs that she heard her father play growing up, mainly from folk singer-songwriters like Jackson Browne and James Taylor. Towards the end of high school, she began her musical career performing with a friend at small events around her hometown of Missoula, Montana. During her years in college, her musical taste shifted more towards jazz and funk. She began to model her sound around artists like Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, Allen Stone and Hiatus Kiayote.
Often compared to Rachel Price of Lake Street Dive, Anna’s voice is rich, sultry and soulful. She brings a fresh, groovy vibe to classic standards, pop covers and modern R&B hits. She is currently working on an EP to be released in the next year. Anna can be found performing local restaurants, wineries, weddings and private events.

Charlotte Littlehales
Charlotte Littlehales
Charlotte is a formally trained musician with a Bachelor of Music from the University of the Arts, where she also minored in K-12 Music Education. Charlotte began writing and self-producing her own music at the age of 15, a few years before the music industry drastically changed and back when you could still sell a demo out of the trunk of your car. Though a performance major in college, her focus remained on the craft of songwriting, and how she could serve her own developing voice.
After an abrupt move to a rural area north of San Diego in 2011, Charlotte struggled to find her footing in the local music scene and pivoted her focus to commercial and collaborative songwriting. Often working with clients over a great distance, she scored the independent film King (2012), co-wrote and co-produced Louisville songstress Carly Johnson’s self-titled debut album (written 2015-2016, released in 2020), and has written over 20 original children’s songs for the popular YouTube channel EliKids (2017-present).
On a more local level, she spent 2018-2020 writing collaboratively with San Diego powerhouse vocalist Cassie B in the setting of Cassie’s original band, Cassie B and the Stingers (in which she also played keys and sang back up vocals). Charlotte has also performed throughout San Diego County as a soloist, the second half of an acoustic duo, the keyboardist and background vocalist in the Cassie B Project, the lead vocalist and keyboardist in The Stingers (also known as Boomtown Stingers), and as a fill-in backup singer with Carly Johnson’s band when they perform locally (or in Liverpool, UK!). Charlotte is a regular fixture at the San Diego Zoo throughout the year as a solo singer/guitarist, and is known for her soulful acoustic covers of songs spanning genres and decades.
Between 2017 and the present, a major focus for Charlotte has been growing her music lesson studio, Little Dell Music Studio. Based in Fallbrook, CA, Little Dell Music Studio currently offers voice, piano and ukulele lessons as well as the early-childhood music classes Let’s Play Music and Sound Beginnings, which Charlotte trained for and earned the certification to teach in 2020. Additionally, Charlotte’s heavy focus on contemporary vocal pedagogy has made her a confident voice teacher capable of teaching beginning through advanced vocalists.
Charlotte’s services include: singing coach / teacher, songwriting coach / teacher, solo performer for hire, session vocalist, commissionable songwriter, music producer and more. Contact Charlotte to pitch a project idea.

Lee Coulter
Lee Coulter
Lee Coulter is a singer-songwriter, music producer, filmmaker and children’s book author who frequently brings a hopeful, zoom-out perspective to universal themes in large part thanks to his multiracial, multicultural, multinational life. Born in Australia to a Vietnam war veteran father and an Indonesian mother who survived a genocide in her hometown, Lee grew up unwittingly navigating the contrast between the pleasant suburbs outside of Brisbane, Queensland and the weight of war-inflicted trauma from both sides of the family tree.
He discovered the hope inducing, healing power of music as a pre-teen when he first started harmonizing Simon & Garfunkel songs with his guitar-playing older brother, Jono, and has been sharing what he has learned of that power in his own music and writing ever since.
High school was about getting lost in sport or musical experimentation with guitar, bass, vocals and songwriting in various garage bands from rock to grunge to R’n’B. In the first year of a Journalism major at college, he taught himself how to record music on an old PC and submitted an original song to a statewide songwriting competition which he won, setting him on a clear path as a recording artist into adulthood.
In the two decades since then, Coulter has moved to and become a citizen of the United States, based out of San Diego for the past 15 years, and has been honing the healing power of song while simultaneously living two music careers.
One of his careers is as an original singer songwriter writing and recording and promoting his music as a self-managed, self-contained business, with some success including a #1 single on Itunes in Australia and New Zealand, a year long stint in rotation on Sirius XM’s Coffee House who dubbed him the “Discovery of the Year” in 2011, opening for notable acts like Chuck Berry, Tom Jones, Griffin House and Martin Sexton, multiple TEDx performances, and countless charity events where Lee’s songs shine like 3 minute road maps to well being.
His other career is the non-glamorous, guitarist-in-the-corner, fly-on-the-wall, corporate gigging, wedding singing, cover-song-playing musician who works under the radar to support the original career and ensure the bills are paid. Coulter quickly realized that in order to keep his lifelong dream alive he would have to learn to appreciate both careers and understand that while one was more passionate and creative than the other, the lessons and gratitude learned in both were crucial to the overall picture. Even playing wedding DJ the past 4 summers while getting fan mail from around the world for his original acoustic songs, as ironic as it may seem, was used as a learning opportunity as he studied from behind the DJ booth what exactly about every classic hit song that he spun made people sing along or move or light up.
It’s the way that Coulter turns what could be seen as a setback into an opportunity that makes his music feel like a light at the end of a tunnel to his fans. If it feels like life buries you alive, woven into Lee’s lyrics might be a shovel to dig yourself out. Even with the typical concerns of a life as a paycheck to paycheck artist, being a father to an 11 year old, and now being a musician in a pandemic, Coulter continues to find ways in music, collaborations like his duet album with Dixie Maxwell, videos and children’s books to share the experiences and mechanisms that may help others understand that we are never alone and always connected in our trials and triumphs. As summed up in one of his songs, “stardust and forces of attraction, that’s all we are.”
