"ECOTONE" by definition is "a place where two or more biological systems collide" and are characterized by "instability, fluidity, change, transformation, danger, and risk."

"TONIC" is defined as 'something that invigorates, refreshes, or restores.

"ECOTONIC" is a description of "a refreshing place where two or more musical styles collide."

Having elements of Rock, Folk, Blues, and Funk, ECOTONIC delivers anything from a wall of sound (Lines Are Open) to songs with a more delicate guitar & vocal (Feed the Children).

Previously known as "Jason & Janea", ECOTONIC was officially born on 04-05-06. "It just seemed like a necessary progression as our sound developed" says Ebs. "It really matched the songwriting and concepts, & we didn't feel that the former name reflected who we had grown to become."

With both an acoustic and an electric side, it enables them to cover many sides of musicality, from driving Rock & Roll Songs (Like Stone Pressure) to acoustic based etherial rock. They get Musical diversity by using alternate open tunings and plush vocal harmonies (The Wave); they really don't model themselves after any other artists, yet they have elements of many. It's all about the Song, Delivery, and Presentation. and musicality of the moment with a certain indifference to what's going on in pop rock music culture. And it's all about being aware...

Recently featured at Music Connection Magazine's "Best Kept Secrets" Showcase at the Gig in Hollywood, they've been dubbed a 'Fleetwood Mac meets Audioslave'.

Jason Ebs comes from a rock & roll background, having toured with Peter Criss (KISS) as lead singer/guitarist for "CRISS" during the 'Bad Boys of KISS' tours of 1995-1996 (a double-billing with Ace Frehley's band). Originally from New Jersey & Philidelphia area, he's also played with Terri Nunn's BERLIN and has a solo rock & roll record released on Kinky Organ Music/MusicRocks Records called Twisted Roots". It's currently available on Itunes, Musicmatch, and www.cdbaby.com/JasonEbs. Ebs brings the ROCK.

Janea Chadwick comes from more of an Acoustic Folk and R&B background whose main influences were Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie Wonder. Hailing from Santa Barbara, she's written songs and worked with producer Jay Graydon, and has toured with Kenny Loggins, Joe Cocker, Sheryl Crow, and many others. She has a hauntingly beautiful voice with the right mix of delicacy, balls, and sass. Janea brings the FOLK.

Les July brings his feel on both Fretless & Fretted Bass. His credits include Herbie Hancock, Dr. DRE, Kate Bush, and many others. Orginally from New York, he brings in the FUNK.

Scot Bihlman rounds out the band on Drums and Percussion. Also an accomplished guitar player and singer, he brings the BLUES to the band. His credits include BB King, Buddy Guy, and many others.

Together, they combine the best of Rock & Roll, Blues, Funk, and Folk in both an Electric and Acoustic forum. It's delicately heavy, with elements of Heart meets Lenny Kravitz meets Cheryl Crow meets Audioslave meets Alice in Chains.

Additionally, ECOTONIC also plays within another band called "The Invinceables" with Vince Flaherty and guitarist Johnny Echols from the 60's band "LOVE", which featured the late Arthur Lee.
