Bill O'Meara picked up a guitar for the first time at the age of ten years old and almost immediately began a love affair with song-writing. A decade later Bill stood on stage at Citizens Bank Park (home of the Philadelphia Phillies) as the lead singer/guitarist/song writer of the band Morning Story and played to tens of thousands of fans as the opener for world renown act Bon Jovi. Prior to Morning Story, Bill played in and released a full length album with the Philly-local band "Dirty Blue" in 2006, enjoying a few spins by local radio station WXPN and bookings at nationally respected Philadelphia area venues such as The Electric Factory, World Cafe Live, Grape Street Philadelphia,The Tin Angel, and many others. Bill has shared the stage with renowned acts like Bon Jovi, Nickelback, Jeffery Gaines, and a range of other locally and nationally respected acts. Bill was interviewed on air with his band Morning Story by legendary radio broadcaster Pierre Robert in the summer of 2006. His music has been played on Philadelphia radio stations 93.3 WMMR, 88.5 WXPN and 104.5 FM Philadelphia. The third chapter of Bill's musical career found him in the studio to record his first solo effort, with producer/engineer Tim Sonnefeld. The record "Still Water" was released in early 2009.

Josh Komorowski:

 Josh is an Independent (by the true definition) singer, guitarist, songwriter, and musician extraordinaire. He was born in Philadelphia and currently lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania with his wife and two children.  He started playing guitar and writing songs at the age of 17.  Josh has traveled around North America and sometimes around world but in the last few years he has limited performances to the east coast to raise a family, write songs and be part of his local church. Josh has shared a stage with many National and Philadelphia artists, some large some small and have performed in music venues that range from 10,000 seats to living rooms.

    He wrote and performed as the front man for a Philadelphia based band The Love Syndicate and all of its multiple variations throughout the 7 years of the group's existence. Josh independently released 4 full length albums and 4 live limited print albums, along side of many demo's funded by record labels that never came to fruition. The Love Syndicate's last release was intended for a 2004 release date and got tangled in the snares of the relentless music business.

    Which brings us to the 2005 release of Josh Komorowski - There is always hope. The songs on this recording maintain an autobiographical sense of honesty and truth with a left-of-center approach to its musicality. The melodies are simple and the words are universal with a different nature and style to each track. There is a live, homemade gospel approach to a few numbers that really bring solidarity and closure to all the lyrical turmoil on the recording. This was intended to capture the dominant prevalence of my live performances and quality of their continued strength. They still are in heavy rotation today.

    Currently he is performing at small local venues and working on new recordings. If you are a fan thank you for your loyalty and support through the many years. I'll continue to write songs and perform them if you keep coming to live shows and buying records; after all I am a musician for hire, the good old-fashioned way.
