Matt Brown
Jason is a singer/songwriter from Milwaukee. He started writing songs and playing guitar when he was a counselor at Camp Minikani, and his songs still have a hint of campfire in them. He began performing publicly while in college in Massachusetts, then returned home to Wisconsin and played the coffee shop circuit in Madison and Milwaukee. He then moved to Nashville and released his first studio album, Every Single Thing. After a move to Saint Paul, he fronted the folk rock band Cabin 18. He moved to Madison in 2008 and helped form the band now known as The Whiskey Farm.
Brett grew up in New Jersey, and began playing guitar immediately after his parents said he was not allowed to. He began performing in college in Maine with such little-known groups as The Registrar’s In-Laws, Sir Frock and the Board, and The Meddling Kids. He draws much of his songwriting inspiration from his days as a bouncer in Norway, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal, and his current life as an elementary school principal. He lives on a small hobby farm with his wife Jen, young son Wesley, chickens, honeybees, dogs, and cat Blimpy.
Matt spent the early aughts in Chicago playing improvisational rock and roll music and conducting tumor immunology research. Seeking a more laid back lifestyle, he moved with his family to the greener pastures of Madison in 2007. He spends his days manipulating stem cells into beating heart cells and his nights fashioning mad beats on a vintage set of drums.
Chantelle Thomas is a wandering musical vagabond who has spread her musical love across the country. She has sang and played guitar and keys in such bands as The Big Spaces, Revelstoke, and The Honey Pot. She moved to Madison in 2009 and joined the band after a chance meeting in a distillery. When she is unable to be peer pressured to play her keyboard, she adds harmony vocals, percussion, and sex appeal to the band.

Expounding Egalitarianist
