EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

California native Jack Russell is a rock vocalist and songwriter, and a founding member of early-'80s hard rock radio staples Great White. Citing influences like Robert Plant and Steven Tyler, Russell spent his formative years fronting high-school bands. In 1977 he co-founded the band Danté Fox alongside guitarist Mark Kendall. In 1981 the band changed its name to Great White, and in 1984 the group issued its eponymous debut album via EMI. Great White hit it big in 1987 with their third LP, Once Bitten..., which featured the hit single "Rock Me," and again in 1989 with ...Twice Shy, which included their chart-topping cover of Ian Hunter's "Once Bitten Twice Shy." Russell left the group in 1996 to pursue a solo career, and released Shelter Me in 1999 via MVP Records. That same year saw Russell rejoin the band, but by 2001 Great White had called it quits, holding a farewell show on New Year's Eve at the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana, California.

The following year saw Russell begin touring under the name Jack Russell's Great White. The outfit gained international attention in 2003 after a massive pyrotechnics failure at the Station nightclub in Rhode Island set fire to the venue's ceiling, resulting in the deaths of 100 concertgoers. By 2005, the stress from lawsuits, inner band turmoil, and Russell's substance abuse problems had taken its toll, and Jack Russell's Great White ceased operations. The original lineup of Great White re-formed for a tour and released their tenth studio album, Back to the Rhythm, in 2007. Another studio LP, Rising, followed in 2009, but it would be Russell's last outing with the group. In 2011, after a period of recuperation following multiple back surgeries stemming from a fall in 2009, a newly sober Russell began operating once again under the Jack Russell's Great White moniker. In 2017 the band released its debut studio album, He Saw It Comin', via Frontiers Records.

”Music has Unspeakable Power! Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. Music is the mystical resonance that makes people cry, laugh and feel their hair stand up. For heights and depths no words can reach, music is the soul's own speech. Music expresses that... which cannot be said when it is impossible to be silent.” – John DeBoer

(Spirit of Thunder) 

Music is not just something that he does… music is everything that he is.

John has been performing on stage and national television since he was four years old. As a professional musician, he played keyboards with a polyphony of Rock and Roll bands and was the Keyboardist for the Dick Clark Rock and Roll Revival Tour.  

John’s original flute songs are composed and inspired while playing in natural surroundings. The listener is taken on a magical journey into the natural world with the ancient sound of the Native American Flute. Performing Native American flute, John’s 3 CD's with Oyate Music are distributed nationally and internationally. He is featured on PBS specials. His flute songs are available on the internet through CD baby, itunes, Pandora and a host of other internet providers. His music has been used as sound tracks for other artists.  He has performed at the Gathering of Nations, the world’s largest POW WOW. 

John holds a degree in fine arts and is a certified music teacher. He currently teaches Native American Flute at the University of Cincinnati, and presents historical musical programs to public schools and park systems. John is a wonderful storyteller and teaches thousands of children every year about nature with his “Storyteller’s Flutes”, a collection of the world’s finest Native American flutes mostly gifts to him from the makers. 

John’s current project with Mystic Flute and Tribal Drums continues that theme and is an effort to showcase talented local musicians using musical instrument from Around the World; Hand pans, Sitars, Didgeridoos, Synthesizers, Tablas, Guitars, Harmonicas, Jam-bays, Buffalo Drums, Singing bowls, Temple bells and Kalimbas to name a few.   The result is a unique mesmerizing sound appealing to a wide audience and appropriate for a family venue.

JADORÉ MONAY (aka JADE SWEENEY)

Los Angeles based Jade Sweeney, known by her stage name Jadoré Monay is an singer- songwriter and dancer from Roseville, California. A suburban town found close to the state capitol, Sacramento.Through her lyrics, captivating harmonies and complementing top line melodies she is able to reveal to her listeners a young woman who is still learning to recognize self worth, love and discernment through her own life experiences. Jadoré commonly shares through her music the message of power behind the ability to create and strive towards the best version of ourselves. This specific topic is where the creativity of her stage name came from. Jadoré, pronounced as JUH-DOOR-RAY comes from the French word J’adore, meaning to adore or to love something or someone. She has embodied the concept of what she wants her audience to embody and manifest for themselves, doing this through the titling of herself as an artist.

Her musical sound consists of Contemporary R&B with a flattering taste of Hip Hop Grime. Her inspirations include Todrick Hall, Rihanna, Beyoncé and her God Father James Brown who imprinted her to become a performer herself. Since living in Los Angeles Jadoré has been involved in many showcases, winning and placing in both the Musicians Institute and Coast 2 Coast Live showcase competitions. She has also danced in music videos for artists Moosh & Twist, Todrick Hall, and Brandy Norwood. You can find her own original material on many music streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Soundcloud, etc.

Jadoré’s Grandmother, Vonny Hilton Sweeney and God Father, James Brown were both widely involved in the music and entertainment business. She shortly became influenced by interest towards this particular industry at a very young age. Seeing Mr. Brown perform while growing up seeded the visions of her future self and what she could possibly and eventually grow into while chasing this dream. Something about watching him perform live from the sides of the off- stage wings gave her the opportunity to feel as close as she could to the energy coming off from the audience. This energy is the same feeling she gets from going to concerts. Its almost like inner recognition, an assured feeling that she was born for this and destined to become this future performer that felt oh so familiar to her.

The show biz is habitual and very well- known to Jadoré, she is no stranger to having her presence on stage. Growing up she was involved in all different types of performing, ranging from musical theatre, dance, and acting all the way to horseback drill team performances in rodeos all around California. After high school she started attending the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, majoring in Musical Theater. She then transferred to the Musicians Institute on Hollywood Blvd where she studied the Independent Artist and Artist Entrepreneur Producer programs.

Currently Jadoré is working on her next project, a single that she will be releasing towards at the end of November this year. Behind the scenes throughout the year she has been competing and making it through several rounds of the Coast 2 Coast Live Showcase Competition. She is currently one of the top 30 finalists out of thousands of independents artists from all over America.
