Band Bio:	Started in the summer of 1996, Vellarest has quietly been working behind the scenes to transform Todd Jarnagin's bedroom into a fully functioning recording studio. Upon reaching our goal in 2002, we expanded the mission to include all property associated with Mr. Jarnagin and his recent wife Ms. Elizabeth M. Weber. We have grown from a simple cassette recorder sitting on a wooden end-table in small, rarely used corner of Todd's one room apartment to a separate studio and control room operation encompassing a full two-thirds of the house Todd and Liz share. Vellarest plans to take over the final third of the home by the end of February 2009.
