Dennis Florine | Born and raised in Chicago, Dennis Florine has been touring the country for the past four years. In addition to performing countless music venues and schools across the nation, he has toured in eight European countries. He has shared the stage with bands such as Fred Shafer and Oval Opus, and had the privilege of working with Grammy-winning engineer Rico Lumpikin (Outkast, Monica) and producer Nate Yaccino (Jessica Sonner, Brandon Grissom). With a voice compared to Tracy Chapman and Jason Mraz, and a writing style like Matt Kearney, he brings something special to every show.

Street Corner Champs are the perfect blend of eclectic influences ranging from the Beatles to My Morning Jacket, and everything in between. With a live show fueled by raw emotion and the symphatic sounds of rock ’n’ roll, SCC truly leaves a crowd wanting more. Their catchy melodies and honest lyrics surely draw an ear to lend and a head to shake. Unscathed by the boundaries of the “genreial disease,” the Street Corner Champs know no limits. Fresh off the release of their first official self-titled EP in February ’09, the Street Corner Champs are ready to set out and show the world what they do.

The Idle Commission was formed three years ago in St. Louis by four individuals who aspired to play music that isn’t held back by genre, category or any particular style. The Idle Commission rocks with abandon and vulnerability, giving you a show unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
