Crosby Loggins the oldest son of Kenny Loggins, 70's singer/songwriter and 80's go-to soundtrack artist. Undeniable physical resemblance and genetic gift for melody aside, Crosby is very much his own musician, and this is not the simple story of a son who follows in his father's musical footsteps. Crosby first started playing music at seven years old, after receiving a keyboard for Christmas. He was writing his own songs by the age of eight and, by the time he got to high school, he was playing guitar and studying Aftro-Cuban percussion. Crosby honed his skills as a musician both at Colorado University, Boulder, and the Los Angeles Music Academy, and has performed on stages such as L.A. and Berkeley California's Greek Theatres, and Detroit's DTE Energy Music Theater. He has appeared with many successful artists including Dishwalla, Dina Carter, Brett Dennon, Al Green, Jackson Browne, Michael McDonald and Toad the Wet Sprocket front-man, Glen Phillips. After years of looking for something he already had, Crosby now finds himself and his career happily heading straight into the family business.

Stonehoney began as a bunch of "songwriters in the round." Nothing contrived or planned, just a group of songwriters that enjoy playing and singing together. "We would meet up at Nick's house in Beachwood Canyon and play songs around the circle. With four singers we just naturally started singing harmonies and this sound, reminiscent of the country rock sound of the 70's, began to develop that we all really loved." In August of 2005 the band took their "Songs From A Hillside Living Room" live with a monthly show at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. The line-up consisting of Shawn Davis, Phil Hurley, David Phenicie, Nick Randolph and Scotty Lund was now complete. The formation of Stonehoney generated several albums worth of new material and caught the attention of hit maker producer Ric Wake. Ric took the band into the studio to capture the magic of their live "living room" sound and cut over 40 tracks. They recently released their first CD.

Cindy Bullens career, jump-started by a stint in Elton John's band, has already included eight solo albums on major or national indie labels. Deborah Holland's tremendous singing and songwriting talents were first introduced via two critically acclaimed albums, tours, MTV videos, and television appearances with the seminal trio Animal Logic (with Stewart Copeland of The Police). She has since released 4 solo CDs.
