The b.side lounge is taking its music to the next level, and on Sunday, up-and-coming artists Jason Reeves and Tyrone Wells will make their Boulder debut at the club.

If you don't know their names, you do know the songs these musicians have brought to mainstream media. Reeves co-wrote most of Colbie Caillat's debut CD -- including the radio hit "Bubbly." The singer/songwriter is also featured on her new hit single "Realize."

Wells' songs have been bombarding your favorite TV shows, His tunes have been heard on "One Tree Hill," "What About Brian," "Rescue Me," "Numb3rs" and "Ghost Whisperer."

Both acts have accumulated more than 7 million hits on MySpace, and now they're ready to hit Boulder.

Jason Reeves

Jason Reeves has a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

The self-taught guitarist started playing music when he was 17 and he hasn't looked back. The musician's hard work has paid off, and now he's building his career and co-writing hit tunes for Caillat.

"It took me awhile to figure out the guitar, but I started playing it because I wanted to write songs," Reeves said. "I went out to L.A. to make a record and did a few songs at Michael Blue's studio. I only planned to be there for a week, but I saw how beautiful it was. I couldn't leave."

Blue was good friends with up-and-coming musician Caillat, and the studio master introduced Reeves to his future songwriting partner.

"Colbie was the first friend I made in L.A.," Reeves said. "The musical collaboration came about naturally. We wrote a song the first time we met. We decided there should be no set rules to the songwriting; we both worked on the lyrics, ideas and the melody."

Reeves said he was surprised when the duo's effort, "Bubbly," hit the top of the record charts.

"It was really strange, but in a good sense," Reeves said. "Having a hit song makes you feel like what you're doing has some meaning."

Now Reeves is promoting his own collection of tunes. The artist's debut CD, The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (And Other Frightening Tales) will be released on Warner Bros. next week.

"I just write about what comes across my life," Reeves said. "I don't like the word pop, but I would say my music is a new kind of folk music. Being on MySpace and iTunes has been huge in getting the word out.

"I just try to make real music and tell a story."

Tyrone Wells

Tyrone Wells' brand of rock, pop and soul music is making a hit with TV shows and college music fans. The young singer-songwriter's fusion of musical genres helped him beat the record for the most university bookings in 2006 via the NCAA.

The musician was born in Seattle, but his career took off once he moved to Southern California. Like Jason Mraz, Wells' career launched via the coffeehouse circuit. Now he's signed to Universal Records.

"I was the youngest child in my family, so I was always trying to get attention," Wells said. "I started out in California having a residency at a coffeehouse and my career grew slow but steady.

"It was like taking baby steps, but it's been satisfying and gratifying."

Wells' tunes were quickly licensed and his music started appearing on a wide variety of TV shows.

"People started talking about my music and the labels had a bidding war," Wells said. "I just make the best music I know how to make. It's a mixture of pop, soul, rock and R&B. The new record is pretty eclectic; it's a little less folkie and soulful. It sounds more full and lush like Coldplay."

Wells has also co-written a song with Denver's own Braddigan (Dispatch). The Colorado musician has even encouraged Wells to participate in his international charity work.

"Braddigan is a good friend," Wells said. "I went down to Nicaragua to help with the work he was doing with orphanages. It was really cool, but really heavy to do that.

"Doing something like that really gives you more perspective."
