Todd Hembrook is a soul singer who has toured the United States and Europe extensively over the past two decades. Projects fronted by Hembrook have opened for the likes of Chuck Berry, Desmond Dekker, The Specials and The Foo Fighters. When other teens were discovering punk rock, Todd rebelled in his own way by forging a love affair with the voices of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Levi Stubbs and other hit-makers who defined R&B music of the 1960’s and 70’s. Todd Hembrook has been singing since he was knee high and professionally for over 30 years, working to align with the lineage of his legendary vocal heroes.

As front man for the “Island Sound Known the World Around!,” Jason “Bison” Friedmann has traveled the world on dozens of tours as lead singer of Hawaii’s favorite sons, Go Jimmy Go. After 20 years of gigs, tours, and 6 full length albums Bison has embarked on a solo music career spanning the Hawaiian Islands to the West Coast U.S.  Known for his frenetic performance, soulful vocals and dynamic stage presence, Bison is one to witness live!
