Morgan Arons Morgan CD

Robert Benjamin Nelson's beginning was not too different than other fledgling musicians who don't know they are musicians. That same year Rob attended the University of Michigan as a film and video major, and later transferred to Full Sail Real World Education in Orlando, Florida. Music was still second on his list, as his first love was filmmaking. Those that knew him were not surprised, as Rob had a movie quote for every situation in life. But making shorts and avant-garde films with his digital camera inspired him to return to music. Copyright infringement is against the law, so Rob bought a 4-track tape recorder and began to write background music that he hoped would bring success to his film career when one of his numerous screenplays came to fruition.

Rob's songwriting watershed moment came when he experienced the joy of his first romance and then the loss of it. With this new life experience, his music became songs and in three months he had completed a full-length demo CD appropriately titled Watershed. Not having proper equipment, and using computerized drums, the album obtained minimal success among four or five of his friends, yet he was encouraged to go forward with another, more professional attempt.

Georgette began composing music at age twelve, and continued to pour out her heart throughout highschool, singing and playing the guitar and piano. She was very involved in music, having been part of a Christian band called "Antioch", singing in choral events and participating in over ten musical productions.

That's Mary Alice Wood.

For the last twelve years, Wood has won over listeners both here and abroad with her bittersweet and self-penned valentines to love, loss and life on St. Louis' south side. Like a box of savory chocolates, her songs come in a variety of flavors: from delectable power pop; to brooding rocker with punch; to spare ballads that ache and shimmering folk. Swirls of country also sweeten the mix. These styles, however, are unified by Wood's songwriting sensibility - which is lyrically straightforward and pop savvy. Wood's strong writing won her two consecutive Riverfront Times/St. Louis Area music Awards ("Slammies" for short) as 1994's and '95's Best Local Songwriter. Her former band, sugarstickygirl, also won the 1997 Virginia Slim's Woman Thing Music Contest.
