Description:
Scott T. (Tiernan) has been writing uplifting, fun, optimistic songs since he was 14. His music consistently reflects his positive attitude and outgoing demeanor. He incorporates a variety of styles and sounds into his sets and plays guitar, ukulele and keyboard while performing.

Tiernan wears his heart on his sleeve, and his songs completely represent just that. His music is filled with passion and love for the world, the people in it, and the God that he adores. Tiernan doesn't believe in making music just for the sake of making music. He writes with the knowledge that songs have the profound ability to positively change the lives of those who truly listen. While his style is poppy and airy, one dedicated listen will show just how dense his music is with depth and meaning.

After finishing up his third album, "Hippies, Lovers, Lawyers & Fools," last spring, Tiernan has been playing consistently around Charlottesville and across the Mid-Atlantic region. The album has garnered Tiernan a lot of positive press. Brad Savage, voice of the popular Charlottesville indie rock station, 106.1 The Corner, summed up the album well calling it, "fun," and "really catchy."

Shanna Hoar:
If you walk out of one of her shows happier than when you came in, Shanna Hoar did her job. This charismatic, young songwriter writes inspiring folk/pop tunes and can effortlessly lift your spirits and put on an entertaining show.

Shanna grew up in northern Virginia, attended University of Virginia, and then emerged as one of Charlottesville's newest talents, coming onto the music scene in March 2011. With her clever wordplay and quirky style, Shanna has quickly garnered a large following in the Central Virginia area.

There's not many subjects that are taboo for Shanna. She'll sing about anything from falling for the bad boy to eating ungodly amounts of Chipotle to pirate love tragedies. In addition to being undeniably charming and fun, there's a breadth of soul and profundity in her songs that truly show off her lyrical and musical range. The release of her upcoming debut EP will showcase her limitless abilities.

At a Shanna Hoar show, you will find yourself laughing. You may find yourself crying. You are likely to relive beautiful memories of the past, but one thing is certain, you will undoubtedly leave with a smile on your face.
