Thanks for being a reader of the OurStage Blog. I wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself and the other bloggers here, and throw out a couple of quick facts about our favorite things so that you can get to know us a little.

I AM:

Brian Whalley, Director of Community
I’m the guy who keeps our Community team here moving – You see me in the blog posting reviews on music that I’m interested in, talking about meta-subjects like why we blog, who we are, and where we’re going. I also run the Twitter page @ourstage (and my personal account at @bwhalley), and put together our other site communication.
BASEBALL TEAM: Red Sox. (The B is tattooed on my back.)
FAVORITE COLOR: Blue
FAVORITE PROTEIN: Chicken

THEY ARE:

Jessica Morris, Managing Editor
Jessica is our Managing Editor – she sets our calendar of what we’ll write about and when. Jessica keeps us all on schedule for getting our latest posts and announcements out. She also helps keep our Twitter and Facebook profiles up to date, and writes our weekly newsletter. You can follow her on Twitter at @whippersnapr or you can find her on OurStage judging in the alt. country, singer/songwriter, folk and indie pop music channels.

Mike Splain, Staff Writer
Mike is one of our fearless and intrepid interns at OurStage.com. On loan for the spring semester, he is helping cover all aspects of our artist relations and promotions around the site. He’s also an avid blogger who helps keep the editorial content flowing. In the off hours, he’s a member of a local a capella group and listening to rock music compulsively. Mike is originally from Pennsylvania.
BASEBALL TEAM: Phillies
COLOR: Green
PROTEIN: Beef

Jay Schneider, Staff Writer
Jay is our other fearless and bold intern from Northeastern. When not busy writing album reviews or talking to our artists about their craft, he’s seen playing his own instruments (mostly the bass). Jay hails from New Hampshire originally. Jay mostly focuses on new music reviews, and many other posts about OurStage artists & contest results.
BASEBALL TEAM: Red Sox (”‘course”, he said.)
