The Newman Project features Michelle Newman on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Stone on lead guitar, David Morihiro on keys, Jesse Charland on bass, and Randy Fox on drums. Formed in 2005, after Newmans partnering with producer and co-writer Tre Carn, TNP has been hitting the LA club circuit, playing to sold out crowds and garnering a dedicated and ever growing following. Theyve recently been selected as one of LAs Independent Artists of the Month, been featured respectively on Carolyn Fox and Sheena Metals radio shows, and have had 2 singles in the top 10 of LAs Musolist for 12 straight weeks and counting.
The Newman Project is extremely excited about their recent completion and upcoming release of their debut album. In preparation of the album theyve had the honor of working with acclaimed producer/engineer Jimmi Mayweather (Bonnie Rait, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young), as well as longtime musicians/producers Rob Wait and Herman Eng.
