Jack's musical experience goes back to 5yrs of age when he would figure out songs on the piano from the radio and television. His parents then decided to whisk him off to piano lessons and the rest is history.

His desire as a young lad was to be an Actor and a Singer and along the way he learned how to play the piano. Jack started taking voice lessons in High School and continued through college. He sang in the choir, performed in musicals and wrote original music for the yearly Variety Show. Plus, formed, played and sang in his own rock band through his teens into twenties.

Jack Minored in Music Ministries in college with a Major in Biblical Studies at Christian Life College, formerly known as Chicago Bible College in Mt Prospect IL. While there he toured with the vocal group “Sounds of Praise” two weeks out of the year and on weekends as featured soloist and ensemble member.

After graduation took a position as the Musical Minister at Glad Tidings Assembly of God in DeKalb IL. Directed the choir, arranged for others also to sing solos, duets, trios and whatever Spirit would lead them to do for Sunday services along with also playing the piano and continuing to write original music which later culminated in a recording which was used as the “house band” would tour local churches.

As we fast forward to the future , over time Jack was changing, evolving and eventually moved to California. He discovered the Recovery Movement and redefined his concepts of God and later studied metaphysics and discovered Religious Science.

Of course it was inevitable that this would once again lead him to New Thought style music. Jack started playing piano at Universal Spirit Center for the meditation and Celebration services. He played the role of “Mish Mash” in the Land of Ahhhhhhsss written by Paula Brandes and had the wonderful privilege of singing that heart opening song “Has anybody got a Heart” which he also got to share on a Sunday morning with the congregation. He has also played the role of Jigger in Carousel and Senator Rawkins in Finians Rainbow.

Jack now currently sings and/or plays regularly at Bonita Center for Joyful Living, Downtown Center for Spiritual Living and Universal Spirit Center, Om Spiritual Center and has also been featured soloist at Unity Carlsbad and Christ Church Unity in San Diego.

Chanara - Tone for Peace began performing when she was a small child. It’s always been a part of her life in some capacity. Her academic achievements have earned her a Masters of Music degree. She has been equally serious about her life-long study of spirituality, metaphysics and consciousness. Like strands of a rope, she has entwined the two disciplines. "Performing takes me into a dimension beyond time. It’s wonderful. While I am singing, I can sense a soft dazzling, golden light coming into the top of my head and anchoring into my spine, just behind my heart.

It somehow merges with the sound waves of my voice and goes out to touch others. It goes inside of them. Whether I am singing an aria or chanting overtones, it’s the same. I sing to instill a sense of well-being in myself and others."

As a teacher, Chanara creates a mind-body approach to speaking, singing and performing. A before-and-after video demonstrating the results of her methodology is available on request.

She is also an astrologer and author. Her book, "Money, Astrology and You in the Driver’s Seat" was the mother of MoneyHoroscopes, individual life readings that guide people to their personal path of financial contentment.

Pianist-singer-songwriter Joan Kurland began her musical career at the age of five, when she begged her parents for a piano-- and knew how to play it before taking any lessons Joan studied classical piano at the Manhattan School of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory, but her claim to fame has always been her incredible ear. Her ability to play pretty much anything she hears in any key (she has perfect pitch) makes her the ideal choice for any special event, since she doesn't need sheet music to accommodate requests. From Beethoven to the Beatles, Joan has it all in her head, ready to pull out when needed.

After completing her collegiate musical studies, Joan sang and played keyboards in a highly successful Top-40 band on the East Coast. The culmination of the band's career was a performance in front of 10,000 people at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. In 1988, wanting a healthier and more spiritually oriented life, Joan left the band and fulfilled her longtime dream of moving to California. She began playing at Nordstrom, performing at parties and weddings, and teaching piano and voice. Her longtime association with the Optimum Health Institute in Lemon Grove, California, a healing center based around live foods, inspired her to start writing funny songs about the health food lifestyle. Her album of parodies, “Eat It Raw: Food, Love, and Other Disasters,” with its hilarious takes on such topics as sugar addiction, singlehood, and wheatgrass juice, has brought laughter to thousands, and was performed at the Comedy Store in La Jolla to great acclaim.

In the 90s, a relative's bout with breast cancer prompted Joan to write the healing song, “I Believe," which she performed on NBC television during breast cancer awareness month in 2001. After many requests from fans for more recordings, Joan recently completed and released a CD entitled, “Looking Up: Songs of Hope and Inspiration,” which features several of her own compositions, as well as such popular favorites as “The Rose” and “The Wind Beneath My Wings.” The album is available through Joan Kurland Music (619)464-2525 and on the web at cdbaby.com .
