Mike Hertel | J. Deno Brown | Artie Manno

Jason Canary.........Jason is an experienced, versatile musician and songwriter, specializing melodic hard rock. After growing up in Southern California area, Jason played extensively in the clubs around Hollywood and Los Angeles. Band credits include D'Arrest, Just Reward, and Cathouse Mouse.

Jason's creative influences include Led Zeppelin, Areosmith, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam, among others.

Jason Moved to South Florida in 1996 to further his career in technical construction sales. Missing his musical release, Jason placed an ad looking for players to form a new band. Mike Hertel of Downpour, looking to add a rhythm guitarist contacted Jason's ad. After meeting they found that their individual songwriting talents complemented each other very well. The two, after discussion with the other members of the band, decided that a collaboration under the name Downpour would solidify the group as a driving force in the Local South Florida music scene.

Early 2001 saw Mike leave the group with Carol, Jason, & Deno firmly inplace, Tony Colella was added to the line up on lead guitar. The Group then decided on Filmore Street to replace the Downpour moniker!!!

The rest of 2001 saw Filmore Street open for such national acts as "Draw the Line" , An Aerosmith Tribute band - "The Soft Parade"  , A Doors Tribute band, and the Southern Rock Masters "Molly Hatchet"  as well as finish their 3 song demo "Road Work Ahead"

January 2002 saw Carol leave the band to get married and Tony left to pursue his education at Full Sail in Orlando -- Deno & Jason worked diligently to replace the missing players. as of april 2002 not having found the players needed the future looked dim.

Adam of The Factory, Ft. Lauderdales Premier Rock club called to say that "Burner" , a Fellow South Florida Rock act had just been signed by Arctic Records, wished that Downpour would play their CD release party. Downpour, now being Filmore Street.

Deno & Jason on a whim called Mike Hertel & Artie Manno formerlly of Downpour, both of which were excited to play. Thus bringing the Downpour Players together as Filmore Street.
