music in an impromptu fashion, pulling together the style of organic music
yet still highlighting some of progressions of jazz and blues. Jason Hanley
is the primary songwriter for the band of gypsies. Some have referred to
Sound Proof as world-music with a provocative raw form of folk-fueled
blues and jazz.
Players 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. Today day her primary focus in Sound Proof is vocal harmonies,
though in the past she also played guitar for the band when it was
performing as a duo.
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. Rich also is involved with
drum programming that allows for a landscape where the players of Sound
Proof can cohabitate. His sound has added a world tone to the band.
