Bloody Mary made Semi-Finalist in Song of the Year's Songwriting Competition


Check out our webpage given to us by Song of the Year at http://songwriter.songoftheyear.com/donovancolton.htm

It says it is Donovan Colton's song but it is actually mine and Jenna's song as she wrote most of the lyrics and the melody line. Totally stoked.

Bloody Mary




This last Spring, my first song, The War Inside, placed Runner-Up in the Spring Song of the Year contest. These contests receive thousands of entries so having placed twice is really exciting.

Reality's Nightmare


My sister and I have finished our 2nd album, Reality's Nightmare. I wrote, performed, recorded, engineered and produced all of the music on the album. My sister, Jenna, and I wrote all of the lyrics. Jenna wrote all of the melody lines. I wrote and recorded the music over the last year while Jenna was at college. When she was home over the Summer, we finished writing the lyrics and recorded her vocals. It is great to have such a talented partner, sibling and friend to work with. Here is a playlist with all of the lyric videos from the new album.



We were able to play some of the new songs live at the RockStar Battle of the Bands in Ogden on September 8th, the day we released our new album. The audience loved us and yelled for an encore--quite emphatically. We even sold out of both of our CD's. We had a bunch of new fans lined up for autographs (off stage and back at our merchandising table). It was a great day.

The War Inside Ever Since Tomorrow Park City 4th of July



This was the first song I wrote. I wrote it in early 2010 although the band just learned it a week and a half before this concert on July 4, 2011. We were the final band to play at the Park City, UT big 4th of July Celebration. We had an awesome audience who demanded an encore after this performance even though the last 3 songs we played were my originals. It was a great show.
