We feature the music of a band from Santa Cruz, Sweet Jam, which is described as "Heart Rock "( http://www.sweetjamband.com/). Mark McFadden, lead guitarist and singer/songwriter,  talks to us about his inspiration for writing lyrics  "It's Our Choice."  Sweet Jam will be on the NuVolution stage at the Monterey Fairgrounds. Live on It's the Way of Love is Stormy Strong, another Santa Cruz musician who will be on the NuVolution stage in Monterey next weekend.  He plays Jumpstart the Heart and Where is my Mind?
