Young Chanteuse Jamey Geston Gets Daisy Rock Deal (Press Release | Sunday, June 13, 2010) Jamey Geston joins other prolific artists on the Daisy Rock roster, such as Wanda Jackson, Avril Lavigne, The Bangles and Sugarland. Walking into the Daisy Rock showroom, is like a kid in a candy store. Guitars are every where and in more colors than Skittles or M&M's! With guitars shaped like Daisies, Hearts, Butterflies from acoustic, electric to bass choosing the perfect one can be challenging. After spending almost two hours jamming and looki ng at guitars in the showroom, Jennifer Farmer, Artist Relations and Marketing Coordinator asked the young chanteuse "which guitar did you like most?" Jamey looked at acoustic, electric and bass guitars but had a hard time deciding. Jamey never really dreamed that Jennifer would come out with the perfect guitar for her; the BUTTERFLY BUBINGA Jumbo Acoustic/Electric and give it to her for FREE! "I was totally surprised and so excited!" Staying true to her heart she knew she wanted another acoustic but electric, "that's who I am, its what I like to play." Jamey's only concern now is which one to play and when! She got her first Daisy Rock guitar at ten, it's Pixie Acoustic Pink Sparkle which gave her the nickname "The Girl with the Pink Guitar." At just 11 years old, Jamey Geston, is an quadruple threat; singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actress who has been on stage since she was three years old. Performing most of her life from stage to film and now pursuing another passion... music. Jamey started singing publicly at age four and playing guitar at age eight. She has participated in singing competition at karaoke, and has performed at farmers markets, festivals, special events and showcases from Santa Barbara to Orange County. Performing a mix of covers and original material, Jamey knows what it takes to draw a crowd. Past performances include the California Avocado Festival, Santa Barbara Fair and Expo, Girls of Rock- Jensen Mainstage, Santa Barbara Maritime Museum Sea Festival, Children Cottage Hospital for Children's Miracle Network Telethon, Velvet Jones and various community and charity events throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties.
