Pheonix Rising consisted of singer-songwriter Jordana Kocher of Portland, Oregon and Australian blues guitarist/vocalist Ian Woods. They collaborated solely via the Internet and released four songs over the course of about a year, the first of which climbed the Soundclick.com pop/rock charts rapidly. "Don't Let Go" became #1 out of about 13,000 songs there on New Year's Day, 2007 and continues to be popular even today.

However, the largest ocean in the world proved to be a bigger obstacle than they imagined, causing scheduling issues, holdups in producing and releasing new songs, and too great an expense to allow for live performance. The duo decided to part ways amicably in August 2007, and refocused on their own musical projects.

Jordana formed an eclectic indie pop/rock band in the Portland area called Dawn's Darkness, and they just released their first demo... give it a listen! This was Jordana's first time not only writing songs, but putting together a full band, producing, recording and mixing the songs down. She'd love to get feedback and opinions.



Ian Woods, AKA Woodsy, continues to record amazing blues covers and has plans to release a solo blues cover album in the near future. Listen to his blues covers and watch his videos here!
