Crosswind, featuring 2008 Texas Music Awards "Female Vocalist of the Year" finalist, Denise Squier has been touted as one of the hottest bands in Texas Nette Radio, Dallas, TX. The strong, soulful vocals of Squier have been compared to Ann Wilson of Heart Diane Sheets, Vocal Consulting Group, Nashville, TN and Stevie Nicks John Tenting, World Voice News, Los Angeles, CA. Her performances are packed with emotion that can raise the hair on your arms! Descriptions of live shows generally include phrases like "The place rocked!" and "They are the emotion-charged real thing", and one of the most compelling, throbbing, and exciting shows in memory". <br> <br> Crosswind has been appearing at major music festivals all over the Lone Star State, headlining concerts, and winning "Battle of the Bands" competitions. <br> <br> Their 4th CD The Core is receiving radio play on several radio stations all over the United States and is stirring up quite a "buzz". One of the CDs tracks Save Me will even be included in a movie soundtrack; the movie is set to release in September 2007. "The Core", released in December 2006, is a getting back to the core of Crosswind's style-rock with a blues influence, a meshing of Rush and Heart with Bonnie Raitt.<br> <br> Crosswind's third CD "Unified" 2005 has had nationwide airplay, led by the release of the song "One Heart", which is still being played on radio today. It has become a favorite even by churchgoers and has been introduced in churches as a praise and worship song to be sung by the church congregation. "One Heart" has become Crosswind's breakout hit and landed the band a distribution deal with Amnesty Records.<br> <br> Crosswind believes that every song should be from the heart. The music is positive, giving hope to the listener, yet it is honest and speaks truth. That is the reason Crosswind has been accepted in both worlds-mainstream and Christian, which normally keep separate.<br> <br> Crosswind travels with an entire sound system, which would be available when necessary.Crosswind will play just about any event when given the opportunity.<br> <br> <br> <br> Awards: Female Vocalist of the Year finalist 2008King Cat Song of the Year finalist "Save Me" 2007Texas Stars and Guitars Fest--Award for "Outstanding Band Performance" 2007#2 band nationwide at Christian Rocker; over 170 votes and 877 plays/downloads 4-3-07#1 song Take it for Granted at Unsigned Rock Zone; debuted at #1 3-13-07#1 song Save Me at Christian Rocker 2-16-07Ignition Showcase--finalist for Band Competition in Austin, TX 2007SomerFestBattle of the Bands Grand Champion 2006SomerFestBattle of the Bands Runner-Up 2005KNLETalent Search 3rd Place 1999<br> <br> Professional Gear Endorsements: Korgkeyboard manufacturing companyCarvinguitar and guitar amp manufacturing company out of CaliforniaRavenwest Guitarsguitar manufacturing company out of CaliforniaStagg Musicmusic gear manufacturing company out of BelgiumBeatodrum accessory manufacturing companyFirst Actguitar manufacturing company out of BostonPo Boy Drumsdrum manufacturing company out of Colorado<br> <br> Music Organizations: BMIprofessional songwriting/music organization http://bmi.com/Go Girls Music Elite Membershipmusic organization featuring women in rock music http://www.gogirlsmusic.comChristianRocker.comIndependent Christian Rock websiteGospel Music Association GMAChristian music organization; home of the Dove Awards http://www.gospelmusic.org/Texas Music Officeofficial music listing with the office of the governor of Texas http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/music/musicians/talent/talentc.htmAcademy of Texas Musicofficial sanctioning organization of the Texas Music Awards http://www.academyoftexasmusic.com/Female Musicians Onlinemusic organization, with such members as Joan Jett and Heart http://fmonline.88redmedia.com/Independent Artists Company IACmusic organization for independent musicians http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?id=58510United International Organization of Christian MusiciansRockin Momsmusic organization featuring moms in rock musichttp://www.rockinmoms.com/rockinmomsChristian Artists InternationalChristian booking agency which features CrosswindAustin Christian Music AssociationChristian music organization in Austin, TXhttp://www.acma.faithweb.com Above GroundsChristian music organization in Austin, TX http://www.abovegroundsaustin.com/My Texas MusicTexas Musician Organization http://www.mytexasmusic.com/Indie-Music.comwebsite that promotes bands and has an online music magazine http://www.indie-music.com/
