Doyle has since returned to the Grand Ole Opry for numerous performances, many appearing live on national television.

LINCOLN BREWSTER - www.lincolnbrewster.com

Born in Fairbanks, AK, in 1971, guitarist/singer/songwriter Lincoln Brewster was playing drums, guitar, and mandolin by the age of seven. By 12 he was fronting his own band, Lincoln and the Missing Links, with his mother Cheryl on bass and vocals. He moved to California at 15 and joined the high school jazz and marching band. By 19, through a series of connection in Los Angeles, he had the opportunity to sign a major record contract but found that his personal life was spinning out of control. Christianity provided for Brewster the tools and the solace he needed to continue not only making music, but to make it in a way that celebrated his newfound faith. He became a much sough-after session musician, touring with Journey's Steve Perry for well over a year. After a brief stint in Oklahoma, Brewster and his wife relocated to Nashville to help build The Oasis Church, where he signed with the faith-based Integrity label and began recording his own music. He has since released Live to Worship in 2000, Amazed in 2002, All to You... Live in 2005, and Let the Praises Ring – The Best of Lincoln Brewster in 2006 that featured the chart toping song “Everlasting God”.

DOUG DOPPLER

www.dougdoppler.com -

Doug Doppler - Certified Guitar Hero. With the 7.24.07 release of Guitar Hero Encore Rocks the 80's, Doug Doppler is now officially certifiable.

In addition to serving as a house musician for WaveGroup Sound (best known for their work on the Guitar Hero franchise), Doug has spent much of the past two years on touring the globe with acts like Michael Schenker (U.S. 2007) and Gilby Clarke (Europe 2006), and as a clinician for Ibanez guitars (Italy, U.K., New Zealand, Australia and U.S.). Doug has also shared the stage with Joe Satriani, Neal Schon, and Uli Jon Roth.

Signed to Steve Vai's highly acclaimed Favored Nations label, Doug's playing is both melodic and intense. An avid 7-String fanatic, Doppler is inspired by both the heaviness that the low range of the instrument provides, as well as the soaring nature of the high strings when played at the top of the neck - "I love the fact that the same guitar can have so much growl and be incredibly melodic at the same time. For me, the juxtaposition of these sounds opens up so many doors sonically." And yes, Doppler can shred with the best of them - in 2004 Doppler's band played the G3 show with Satriani, Vai, Malmsteen in the San Fransisco Bay Area, Doug's home.

June 2007 saw the release of the Guitar Masters CD. Doug's "Zero Gravity", originally recorded as a promotional piece for the Ibanez ZR tremolo, sits along side songs by Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Stanley Clarke, Zakk Wylde, John Paul Jones, Steve Morse, and Billy Sheehan. "To be on the same disc with so many legendary players is both humbling and at times unbelievable" says Doppler.

FLYLEAF guitarists Sameer & Jared

www.flyleafmusic.com

As trite as it sounds, miracles happen every day. Everyone in Flyleaf has their own story of witnessing miracles. The redemptive power in music unites vocalist Lacey Mosley, guitarists Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya, bassist Pat Seals, and drummer James Culpepper.

Flyleaf’s lyrics and music transcend the boundaries that separate many people. Hope drives Flyleaf's music; the songs often tell stories, from a first-hand experience to a beautiful letter to a meeting with a fan. Driven by more than just a passion for music, the band feels this is not what they want to do in life, but what they must do. "We will continue with Flyleaf until the doors close, and when they do, we will look back on everything and thank God for it all. Hopefully, we will have done what we were meant to do," says Lacey Mosley.

After a critically acclaimed, Platinum debut album and three hit singles, the band still feels their live show best reflects Flyleaf’s true heart. "I don't think people can know who we really are and what we really want to communicate without seeing us live. The album is the closest we have ever gotten to capturing it on a recording, but the part missing from the record is something we wish we didn't have to leave out. If we had it our way, everyone would know us first by our show, not just our album or the song they heard on the radio."

The time that Flyleaf has spent on the road over the past few years has been an unimaginable, bittersweet treat. The band has traveled the world three times over with engagements in Japan, Australia, Europe, and the UK, while playing with the likes of Korn, Metallica, Deftones, Stone Sour, Atreyu, Velvet Revolver and many others along the way.

The band is also no stranger to television, having appeared on MTV2, MTV, Fuse, Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daily and more. With their third video, “All Around Me” becoming a Top 40 hit, more people are experiencing Flyleaf’s music and message.
