Jimi Yamagishi
Jimi Yamagishi is the current director of SongNet and has been playing the radio for many years. He has been known to take the stage because he had a truck, but now prefers changing strings on his email. Jimi was never a popular guy until he played with Gilli Moon in Morro Bay, where he hid under covers & played so low. Married with children, he's not a Bundy but has friends who live there. You can find his humor & harmony @ www.jimiyamagishi.com & on youtube.com/jimiyamagishi

Jessie Sparks
Melbourne Australia born and based singer/songwriter/musician Jessie Sparks’ career has been in serious overdrive since the release of her critically acclaimed self-produced indie debut Breathe Easy. The album John Carver of PBS Radio called "seductive, intelligent and engrossing"--and whose raw power has earned comparisons of Sparks to everyone from Janis Joplin to Norah Jones--received two nods at the Hollywood Music Awards in 2008. Late that year Sparks traveled solo from downunder to attend the HMAs as a dual nominee for “Best Adult Contemporary Artist“ and “Best Female Vocalist”. The first annual event held at the world-famous Kodak Theatre was TV broadcasted live to more than 120 million homes across Europe and millions more globally online with Sparks taking out the “Best Adult Contemporary Artist” award.
