SOUND PROOF
SOUND PROOF is turning into a collective of musicians that love to play music in an impromptu fashion, pulling together the style of organic music yet still highlighting some of progressions of jazz and blues. The group changes forms according to the gig they are catering to, yet the band/ solo act still primarily remains original music. Jason is the primary songwriter for the band of gypsies. He also acts as a solo artist who books under the name of SOUND PROOF. Jason Hanley is a songwriter that was born in Detroit, Michigan and currently resides in south Florida. Jason grew up in Charlotte N.C. where he was introduced to blues by friends and his parent's old albums. The young musician/ singer songwriter began playing clubs in the late 80's as a lead/ rhythm guitarist in what was then labeled as alternative rock & roll. Some of the project names were Enterlandscapes, Latino Chrome, Trust Fall, Soul Beyond and a myriad of others that evolved into other bands and other types of musical ventures. Currently Jason is expressing himself under the name SOUND PROOF in south Florida. Victoria Pearson is a singer-songwriter that has been a crucial part of the Sound Proof family for about 8 years. Jason and Victoria got together in about 2000 and started singing together. Victoria brings an honest look at the voice and the song to Sound Proof. Her musical background is one of a folk based singer songwriter. She spent quite a bit of time playing in Chicago at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Her talent spearheaded the band Jane Doe, they played many coffee houses and festival/ benefit gigs.

Steve Jernigan has been the bottom end of Sound Proof's folkified blues driven psychedelic jazzified sound for a couple of years now. He has been playing Bass since the fourth grade and continually redefines the term groove. Steve's played classical, blues, jazz, rock, folk, and even show tunes. He has played with many local and regional artists, Grant Livingston, Marie Nofsinger, The Gene Mattis Orchestra, The PBAU Symphony, Phillis Diller, Mitch Miller, The Stan Kenton Reunion Band, The Blue Ridge Country Ramblers, and Mr. Barracuda. His musicianship and improvisational skills have helped to create a trademark sound in the SoundProofProductions music catalog. His classical training has helped the sound move more toward a compositional undertone. Jim Kovalcik rounds out the Sound Proof style with his high tones and flutified aerobics. Jim has a B.A. in music and has taught theory and composition for more then 20 years now. He also plays with the band Forest which is comprised of Jim and Vinny Monaco, it is a new age duo with a story teller vibe. His flute playing has been reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane and brings an air of the 60's to the sound. Rich Paray is a classically trained Tablas player from Guyana. He usually accompanies classical Indian singers and teaches drum lessons. His elaborate rhythms and musical endurance have aided in the live Sound Proof shows for a couple of years now.
