Dina Joy Byrd
DINA JOY BYRD would like to start by thanking the fabulously talented and ever-supportive, Becca Kaufman and Amy Mowery, for yet another wonderful opportunity. Rock On Chicago Singer Spotlight! Dina's cabaret of torch and siren songs was recently featured at Davenport's. She studies voice with the great Ed Farran. She has spent the last nine years in the Chicago area singing in all different venues. Jazz, musical theater, rock or blues - Ms. Byrd sings it all. She is constantly searching for musicians to jam with! As always, Dina would like to thank her Mom, Diana.

Phylis Renee Marconi
Phylis Renee Marconi has been singing most all her life. She is thrilled to be on stage with these exquisite musicians. In her second life, when she's not doing one of these showcases, you may find her cantoring mass, fronting her own rock band, Phyl 'n the Cracks a.k.a. Phylodendron, or jobbing with a local top-40 band. In the past few years she's embarked on writing and recording her own music that earned her a spot on a cable arts program, a review in a songwriter's magazine and most recently a finalist ranking in Sennheiser's Evolution Mics Band Competition. As a writer Phylis says she's a work in progress! In her everyday life, Phylis is busy shaping America's future in the public school system! It's really a kick when those two life paths cross! Phylis will be at The Vocal Venue in March. Thanks Becca and Amy for your support! Check out Phylis's website and listen to her song "Love is Like Poison" or email her at phylis_r@yahoo.com. Check out Phylis's CD "I'll Find My Way," on cdbaby.com, listen to tracks and review it!

Megan Fox
Megan Fox is a newcomer to the Chicago music scene. She has sung around Chicago for the last two years highlighting with Alan Gresik's Swing Shift Orchestra at the Green Mill and going solo at the Gentry, The Como Inn and the Marriot O'Hare. Megan's biggest shows often take place in her kitchen while doing dishes-the reviews are excellent. Coming from a musical family and trained by her mother, Megan started her singing career at 3 years old, performing in her kitchen while her mother did dishes, and graduating into living room trios with her very talented sisters. These days you will find Megan enjoying her first year of marriage to her husband Jason Fox who has given her a better stage name than she could ever have made up.

Jonathan Johnson
Jonathan L. Johnson has been the lead male vocalist of the TVK Orchestra since June of 1992. Mr. Johnson began singing professionally with the Northern Illinois University Jazz Band, under the direction of Ron Modell from 1987 through 1989. During the daytime hours, Jonathan is the Manager of Payroll Operations & Examination for the Chicago Transit Authority.
