The Canyons started in the imagination of Jackson as a collaboration of solo artists, namely Alisan Porter, Ilsey Juber and Jordan Lawhead. The group was put together to follow in the footsteps of legendary bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles, the goal would be real songs, honest music, and a new sound for a generation in need of change.

She also collaborated with her good friend Adam Lambert on his debut album “For Your Entertainment”.

Juber, the daughter of Laurence Juber, lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings, began as a drummer at the age of 12, but by 15 she was selling jingles and performing around the LA area as a singer/songwriter. She collaborated with actor/musician Terrence Howard on his debut album, “Shine Through It.”

Jordan, an Arizona Native, has worked as a solo artist and published songwriter with Sony/ATV for the past four years. His music has been heard on MTV and on such shows as “Men in Trees”, “Kyle XY” and on the Lifetime Network.He has collaborated with artists such as Jason Reeves, Charlie Sexton, Rusty Anderson and Charlie Peacock.
