Unsigned Entertainment

Living Proof is composed of four seasoned musicians: Shawn, vocals; Jonathan, bass; Jerrit, guitar; and Mike, drums. Although Living Proof entered the local scene in 2007 the members have been involved in the scene since 1997. Between the four of them there has been several hundred local shows, and even opening for a few national acts (Nonpoint and 7mary3 to name two).

The band has influences ranging the genres and decades going back as far as the 1960’s to the current scene. Using these influences Living Proof melds a sound that is their own. Living Proof began after two other bands met their end. Jonathan and Mike’s former band Contrast split on Feb 8 2007. Immediately Jonathan called Shawn in an attempt to form a new band. Once the track was set a mutual friend of Mike and Jon introduced Jerrit to the band. Jerrit is coming from recent band 2nd Guess and was recovering from a broken hand when he met Jon for the first time.

The band practiced together on Feb 4th, a few days before Contrast’s last show and there was immediate chemistry. After a week the four new this was the right situation for them all and Living Proof began. They have since been writing and preparing to start playing shows while taking their experience and knowledge to become better musicians.
