Concert promoter Noah Wick was at the height of his career when he received word in 2007 that he had testicular cancer. Thanks to a team of talented doctors, Wick is in remission and as a means of giving back, we've teamed up to bring you tonight's show, a benefit for the Shelby Webster Testis Cancer Research Fund featuring J Minus and The Dan Purser Band.
J Minus
At a time and place where "indie rock" is the norm, mainstream is the new indie. With captivating lyrics, distinguishable melodies, and dynamic personalities, J minus skillfully creates a musical experience that today's marketplace craves, yet so desperately lacks. The music of J minus spans the boundaries of rock, discovering new ground between postmodern alternative and an upbeat, yet subtly emotional delivery of acoustic rock.
While compared to contemporary artists such as Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, and Death Cab for Cutie, J minus has created an identifiable sound that is nothing short of groundbreaking. Memorable hooks and guitar-driven depth create the emotional attachment craved by listeners of all ages. Along with Trevor's clever touch of on-stage humor, one can "expect to see an energetic group of musicians who have excellent stage presence and are confident in their abilities to speak to an audience" ( cdbaby.com).
