Band Members:LUKE WILLARD has been performing and writing all of his adult life as a lead man, guitarist, and club/radio DJ. With well over 1000 performances under his belt, he's best known for his big-voice lead roles in Willard Way and Shocknawe. After dabbling in songwriting for several years, Luke wrote a country/rock anthem to the state of Vermont called 'Home Sweet Home'. He found his groove and the music started pouring out with songs like 'Neverland' and 'Outlaw Way'. After some life changing experiences, Luke started drawing emotional inspirations which brought on crossover songs like 'Daddy, I Miss You' and 'Like I Never Loved You'. In 2007, abstract feelings and social observation created alt rock 'Moon Time', 'Bitter', and 'The Knife' which are all featured with many others on his independent Willard Way album, WWI. Recently, he shared the stage with fellow Nu Town artist, Tod Pronto, and Big Machine artists, Dusty Drake and Jimmy Wayne. Luke is currently working on a series of country/rock/blues songs focusing on 'gettin back to the roots'. Drawing from influences such as Jon Bon Jovi, Johnny Van Zant, Joe Elliot, and Hank Jr... Luke has developed a large powerful voice and style which he is recognized for......................................... TOD PRONTO was born and raised in a small town in Northeastern Vermont, Tod seemed destined to a life in entertainment. Tod began writing his own music at the age of 15 years old when he bought his first guitar. In the winter of 2003 Tod met fellow Vermonter and Nashville recording artist Wayne Warner. Shortly after Tod and Wayne began seriously discussing getting him into a Nashville recording studio and cutting a few songs. In the fall of 2005 Tod was asked to contribute his song Money and a Suitcase to a compilation album put out by Shut Eye Records called "The United State of Americana Vol. 3". The album featured artists such as Jeff Black, The Greencards and more. Tod's song was the first cut on the album that went on to reach 20 on the Roots Rock Airplay Report. Tod has opened up for many artists from Vermont to Nashville including Mark McGuinn, Wayne Warner, Jimmy Wayne and Dusty Drake to name a few. Tod is creating quite a buzz between fans and music industry insiders alike. Producer/Guitarist Troy Lancaster says, "Tod has created a niche for himself in roots rock and country, a niche with attitude!" If you ask Tod, that's what it's all about. Music with no attitude is just music....................
