Hi!

My name is Dana and my band Studiotone is playing Saturday, March 17th, starting at 9:30 p.m., in Soo, Michigan for St. Patrick’s Day at The Satisfied Frog.

We're very much looking forward to not only playing this event but playing the Soo for the first time and appreciate your help in garnering some additional visibility.

Thanks very much!

P.S. - My parents, Marie Putman and Terry Boyette, are natives of Soo, ON and I personally look forward to visiting!

Studiotone's bio

The band consists of: Dana Boyette, bass and vocals; Ryan Mauro, guitar and vocals; Brent A. Nuffer, vocals; Jeff Lenkowski, drums; and Josh Woodland, guitar.

Studiotone explores the sonic bounds of modern music by both creatively channeling their broad, but decidedly rock influences and leveraging the musical backgrounds of all its members.

The band harnesses the lyrical poignancy and pop sensibilities of U2 and flirts with the edgy guitarsmithy and live energy of the Foo Fighters.

In addition to being a featured artist on Not Lame Records, Studiotone's music has been spotlighted in several compilations (Lansing Capital City NOISE Vol. 2, WZOW-South Bend's Special Cuts 2002, Red Room Vol. 1) and in a local motion picture soundtrack (The Crotchening).

The band secured a top-three finish in one of Detroit's biggest Battle of the Bands competitions (Hayloft Liquor Stand).

Studiotone has appeared with many national acts, including Sponge, Local H, Bowling for Soup, Sugarcult, 7 Mary 3, Blessid Union of Souls and The Electric Six on stages throughout Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Several Studiotone songs have received airplay on Midwestern airwaves, portending the future when the band can bring their well-crafted rock numbers to the masses, enthralling them with their live wire stage presence.

The musicianship speaks for itself and the hooks are sugary sweet.

Sweet like Southern Comfort, with a characteristic bite that sinks its teeth into you and never lets go, and aftertaste that only fades when it's time for another drink.
