History:
Sporting dueling vocalists and a multitalented lineup of musicians, The Band That Saved the World is one of the few groups to feature such a vast array of stylistic influences as to be impossible to pigeonhole. Opening for headliners as disparate as Lauryn Hill and The Moody Blues, this lively original act was selected to close the 1999 French International Music Festival in Belfort, France. "Love-n-music" won the 2002 Recording Academy Midwest Professional Education Series Demo Review Contest and was the champion in the makeastar.com Contest.
