Together, VanMarter Project hopes to provide better opportunities for music education in public schools. "It's all in vain if the only thing we have done is create 'good music' without impacting the heart and soul of humanity," says Gerry Van Mansfeld, Executive Director of Empty Vessel Music.

VanMarter Project’s members include Chris Chilton, A.J. Webster, Josh Popham, and Jason Stephens. The band is described as a collaboration of talent where the members stay morally grounded to themselves and their music.
