About this concert
Michelle Rayburn, Lehi Petersen, and Adamm Lee Saint Clair are derived from the Denver based band The Argument. Their music consists collectively of originals and covers from a vast catalogue of genres. Their influences range from punk to classical consisting of Captain Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters, James Brown, Foo Fighters, The Carpenters, Wes Montgomery, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Zac Brown Band to name a few. Michelle has been a vocalist and songwriter throughout her life performing for Disney, numerous commercials and award winning choirs across New Mexico and Colorado. Lehi has been classically trained in piano since the age of 3, excelling in numerous instruments since then including guitar and bass. He also plays lead guitar and sings backup vocals for the Denver local band Hellgrammites. Adamm has been playing the guitar for ten years and has achieved a bachelor’s degree in guitar performance and music theory from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. He intends on returning for his masters at either Lamont Music School at the University of Denver or the University of Colorado in Boulder in the fall of 2018. [Organizer's description]

The Argument Biography
There are at least two bands with this name
1. A indie rock/experimental duo from Sweden,
2. This tight pop quartet from Morgantown, West Virginia played together from 1997 to 2006. Legend has it they met at a Ben Folds concert, probably all singing perfect harmonies from the audience. Chris Russell on drums, Matt Warder on guitar, Brent Bunner on bass, and frontman Scott Simons on keyboards put on high energy but refined performances.
Their sound is a bright shiny vocal pop with flavors of new wave and mild jazz pop (think Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, Beatles, much more). All four are excellent singers who make luscious 3 and 4 part harmonies the centerpiece of most of their tunes. Some of their early tunes, like Matt's Ballad of Ernestine Jackson, are rather sophisticated and complex both in melody and harmony. Some of Scott's ballads, like Sick of Here, showcase hooky yet soaring melodies and familiar yet fresh chord changes. Lyrically they are generally a little less evolved, most of their songs are about a prospective girlfriend or an ex-girlfriend, though with clever little bits and some sardonic wit.
An early crowd favorite was Inflatable Amy, which they tended to torture toward the end of their 9 year run. Though their recordings were extremely refined and well-produced, their live shows were where they would really shine, developing a deeply loyal following across the United States.
