 Robert
Parlee
Robert
Parlee was born in Pasadena, California, and is the youngest of four
brothers. His soulful vocals capture unique melodies and consistently
deliver. When you listen to him perform you know instantly he was
born a musician. Not only are his vocals amazing, but Robert is an
extraordinarily gifted piano player and lead guitarist. An athlete in
his early years, he did not start playing music until age seventeen
after he fell in love with Bowie, Elton John and the WHO. Robert
formed the band "Picture" and was discovered by multi-platinum
producer, Spencer Proffer (Quiet Riot, Motley Crue). The band
changed the name to "Isle of Man" and they signed to
Pasha/CBS; their video "Desperate Surrender" played in
heavy rotation on MTV. For platinum selling artist Jude Cole, Robert
played keyboards and sang backup until he partnered with Ron Ellow
(producers for the hit band Lifehouse) and formed the band Lonesome
Romeos, signing with Curb/MCA records from 1989-1996. During this
time they released two albums with their single "Sweet
Janine" picking up regular rotation on KLOS Radio in Los
Angeles. Their songs can be found in several movies such as: Wedding
Bells Blues and Power 98. In 1999, Robert signed with Evening Star
Records as the duo Jensen/Parlee.
Robert
is a devoted father of four children. His talents as a
multi-instrumental songwriter help create powerful vocal arrangements
and increase the production quality for both the band and fans alike.
He has been part of the songwriting team of Casey/Parlee/Rap since 2000.

 Dana
Woods
As
most who are destined to create music Dana Woods calling was apparent
early in her life. A mere infant, she was drawn to the power of music
when her elder brother (who throughout her life has posed a large
musical influence on her) began to take piano lessons. Danas crib
shared a wall with the room in which her brother practiced and
instantly the sound of a child mimicking the sound of scales could be
heard through out her home. One might say Dana Woods learned to sing
before she could speak.
A
natural talent, Woods felt comfortable on stage and began performing
for audiences at the age of six. Throughout the years to follow Woods
participated in dozens of competitions; often earning the highest honors.
She
devoted her time to music not only competing but performing for
charities, benefits, and private parties. One of her most proudest
moments was when she was asked to perform the lead vocals in the
Musical Finale for the Memorial Day Service at the L.A. National
Cemetery in 1991, which was televised.
Since,
Woods has been singing back up for Jannel Rap's solo project and was
there to hear the news that Gina had gone missing. Seeing the
struggle of Jannels efforts, Woods jumped on board in anyway she
could to help the cause. In 2006, when approached to not only join as
a band but a force with Clementine, to gain more awareness for the
missing, Woods was all for it.
Woods
had the honor of sharing the stage as a vocalist and musician with
the likes of musical talent such as Sophie B Hawkins, Giant Drag,
Wonderlove, Don McLean, Nickel Creek, Jannel Rap, The Yardbirds,
Eddie Money, Dirty Little Secret, Midnight Movies, Lucinda Williams,
Silverson Pickups and more.
