  • Holly Stephey And Cutting Edge Music...
    With the success of “D.C. Shuffle” the three members decided to form a band and release a follow up album containing a mixture of fun political rock songs and rock ballads. The album eventually was called “Humongously Yours” & it exploded at college & commercial radio stations in the U.S., international markets & internet radio stations around the world. While the album, “Humongously Yours” received college radio play for over a year, the first single to pop onto the commercial radio charts in the U.S. was the ballad, “Without You”, which flew up the charts to Number 20 in the U.S. “It’s Time”, “Judas of D.C.”, and “Abuse of Power” has some success on the rock charts, but big hit from the album was “Love Police”, which hit Number 19 in February and never left the top 20 for a year. Originally, Thunder Quest Records released the original version of “Love Police” to radio, but kept following up with various dance versions that kept it charting and the fans all over the U.S. loved it.
    As ‘Love Police” kept charting, something even crazier happened with the single “WITHOUT YOU”. It had been 1 and ½ years since “Without You” left the charts, & a syndicated college radio program began to play the single & eventually over 100 college radio stations were playing it. To the surprise of everyone at Thunder Quest Records & of course, Cutting Edge, “Without You” charted a second time at commercial radio eventually hitting number 16, even higher than before. No one could remember an “indie” band having this happen at commercial radio stations.

  • Holly Stephey And David Vernon
    David Vernon is a "natural talent" and his interpretations and delivery of song come from the center of his soul. Trusting more in his own instincts he has purposely stayed away from academic and formal training. This is frequently surprising to those who have the experience of seeing and hearing his keen and polished sense of performance. David has an extensive recording catalog and has been featured on Radio and Television. But to truly capture his full essence one must experience him live. David pays close attention to the integrity and meaning of a song and weaves a spell through each piece he approaches.
    David has appeared at clubs in NYC over the last 10 years. His performances have been lauded at Iguana NYC, Don't Tell Mama's, The Vesta Lounge and The Laurie Beechman Theater.
    David's performances have been described as magical experiences. From the time David hits his first note the audience knows this is something special. His attention to detail in both material and staging is impeccable. There is only one word to describe David Vernon "Incomparable". Once you've seen David in person you will agree.
    LOVE is my latest recording project. I am now in the Autumn of my life and before I leave the planet I want to create my own masterpiece. I chose the subject of love because it’s the only thing that has ever really made me feel alive. 
    LOVE is an album of love songs that are very dear to my heart. 
    I pour a lot of emotion into my singing and when I’m singing about love my inner being leaps with sensitivity.  
    I think now is the right time to be focused on this particular subject, which somehow, someway affects all of our lives.
