Jason Waggoner is a singer songwriter living in Flint, Michigan.


Jason has recorded guitars for the artist Celldweller. Also, Jason toured as a guitarist for the band War and Treaty and performs regularly as a duo with the guitarist(Andy Patalan) for the internationally known Detroit rock band, Sponge.


Jason has been featured, and performed live on several local radio stations, such as WCSX and WDET. He has also been featured in print in books and write ups in magazines.


His latest release The Scribe, was written with Cindy Morgan(Grammy nominated, 15 time dove award winner), and is available for download on all major streaming services.

Vocalist Kate Hinote and guitarist/producer Tony Hamera are a husband/wife songwriting duo based out of Detroit, with a dozen releases to their credit over the last 17 years. Their sound has always matched their varied influences, ranging from Americana/Folk-Noir to Alternative/Psych Rock with their current band The Blueflowers, Shoegaze/Dreampop with their first endeavor, Ether Aura, and Post-Apocalyptic Folk with the one-off passion project, Sound of Eleven. While they have weaved in and out of various genres, there has always been a thread connecting their projects with a Hamera/Hinote style. Words like cinematic and hauntingly beautiful have often been used to describe their music, no matter the genre, with references to David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino films as a proposed and sought after backdrop to their work. While Hinote and Hamera most often share the stage as part of a six-piece band, as a duo they appreciate the opportunity to perform stripped-down versions of their songs and showcase their work as songwriters.
