"Jason Ebs' (from Peter Criss) New Rock Band "ECOTONIC" adds Drummer Chris Slade from AC/DC to Lineup for their Debut Show March 3, 2007 at the San Diego Indie Music Fest III"

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2007 -- ECOTONIC will debut in San Diego on March 3, 2007 at the San Diego Indie Music Fest III. The outside all-day event will boast 70 independent bands on 7 stages and is produced by Champ Records and Say It Again Records. www.SDIndieMusicFest.com.

"Ecotonic" is performing at 6:30pm-7:30m on the 29th Street Indie Garden Stage. They chose to debut at this event in hopes of attracting record industry types who can help launch the band and perhaps Upstream to a Major Record Deal, Management, or Publishing Deal.

"We're really excited," says Ebs, "to come out of the box with such a killer line-up. I feel so fortunate to have been able to play with such drumming legends as Peter Criss and Chris Slade and to have Slade involved in our original band is simply awesome!"

Janea Chadwick Ebs and Jason Ebs have spent the last 1 1/2 years writing and recording the "Electrified" cd. After laying down all the tracks with a studio rhythm section, it was time to find the right live group to bring the songs to the next level.

"I saw Slade down at the NAMM Show in Anaheim again this year," says Ebs, "so I gave him a cd and mentioned to him that we were looking for a great drummer; we spoke a week later and solidified it!"

"Ecotone" by definition is "a place where two or more biological systems collide." To the band, Ecotonic is a description of the place "where two or more musical styles collide." Having elements of Rock, Folk, Blues, and Funk, Ecotonic delivers anything from a wall of sound to the delicate simplicity of a guitar & vocal.

Additionally, a 'Tonic' is defined as a "medicine or other agent that restores or stimulates physical, mental, or emotional vigor." Therefore, 'Ecotonic' also represents a musical elixir for any ailments caused by the collision of biological systems.

With both an acoustic and an electric side, it enables them to cover many sides of musicality. They get musical diversity by using alternate open tunings and plush vocal harmonies. It's all about the Song, Delivery, and Presentation and musicality of the moment.

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 (Jason Conrad Ebsworth) 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 & Philadelphia area, he relocated to Los Angeles to attend GIT in the 90's following a few years at Penn State University and in The United States Army Reserves. 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.

Janea Chadwick Ebs (Janea Chadwick Ebsworth) comes from more of an Acoustic Folk and R&B background whose main influences were Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills & Nash, and Stevie Wonder. Hailing from Santa Barbara, she's written songs and worked with producer Jay Graydon, and has worked with Kenny Loggins, Joe Cocker, Sheryl Crow, and many others. "Jason & I were eating at the Beverly Glen Diner when Joni Mitchell came in; it was so wonderful, we spoke for hours and treated her to dinner!" Janea has a hauntingly beautiful voice with the right mix of delicacy, balls, and sass. She brings the folk.

Chris Slade, aka "Slade", has an amazing career thus far, having played with greats such as AC/DC, The Firm, ASIA, King Crimson, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, and now Ecotonic. His amazing energy and phenomenal drum beats are the backbone their sound.

Bassist Daniel Schiffer adds low end umph, and is extremely excited to be part of Ecotonic. "I'm really honored to be playing with Chris Slade and Ecotonic," he states saying that, "I''ve been looking for something cool for a long time that has both the musicality that I enjoy and the message that I wish to convey."

Their show will include an acoustical breakdown for a few songs in the middle of the set.

The music is delicately heavy with elements of Heart, Lenny Kravitz, Cheryl Crow, Audioslave, Evanescense, and Alice in Chains.

'Ecotonic' is currently in the studio recording their 2nd full length CD targeting a Summer 2007 release. Ebs is recording and producing the Acoustic-based CD to be called "Out of the Ashes" at their Los Angeles based studio Kinky Organ Music. The CD will be released under their new record label "World of Wishes Records (WOW).

In response to the soon to be released cd "Electrified", Ebs states, "I'm really excited about this record. I feel like it's my best work to date, as the songs capture such a male/female dynamic of such a variety of issues prevalent in society today." Additionally, he adds "I'm so excited for songs like 'Unfold Me', 'Except Time', and 'The Wave' to reach the public.

"The hardest thing about this record is to deciding which songs will make the cut," says Ebs. "There are so many songs pouring out of us that we've just been tracking song-after-song to get them down so we don't forget them; they each just keep feeling better and better.

"We'd really like to thank Tony De La Rosa at Greg Bennett Guitars for the amazing instruments that he's provided to us. Also, we'd like to thank Gibson Strings, Seymour/Duncan Pick-ups, and Groove Tubes.

"We'd also like to extend a special thanks to Mark Ludmer@ Event/Rhodes Microphones for the awesome support and Alicia Champion & company from SDIMF for putting together such a great show!"
