More L.A. "Times" Writers Try To Predict Best New Artist Noms, Think Voters Will Remember Who Yael Naim Is [The Prediction Derby]

The group has amassed an impressive following through their larger-than-life concerts across California, Arizona and Nevada since songwriter/pianist Scott Jason first met vocalist Clayton Stroope while attending UC Santa Barbara. Scott quickly recognized a perfect fit for his music and lyrics with Stroope’s operatic rock vocal approach. “As soon as I heard Clayton sing, we had the idea not only to write together, but start a band,” says Scott. Guitarist Drew Cribley soon joined, followed by the rhythm section of bassist Bret Cohune and drummer Paul Niedermier, all San Francisco Bay Area natives. Paul, originally a punk rock drummer, echoes Scott’s sentiment as he recalls, “When I got to the audition I was skeptical due to my different musical background, but then I heard Clayton sing. I knew right away that this was something I wanted to be a part of. Within the first couple of weeks, we were playing before 500-600 screaming college kids.”
