He's been deeply involved in the fight against hydro-fracking with his anthem of resistance...No Fracking Way. It's been played at rallies as far away as Ireland and Australia. Marc's I Love You Rachel Maddow music video has been viewed more than 41,000 times(!); and Sometime A Spark (an ode to the Tunisian fruit peddler who's act of resistance started a worldwide revolution) has received immediate notice and airplay in Europe and Tunisia. It will be officially released later this summer. Marc Black's band features veterans of the Joe Cocker, Steve Winwood and the Blues Magoos Bands. Happy Traum recently wrote about Marc's most recent CD, "Deep grooves, excellent playing, top notch guitar and vocals...Marc's songs are timeless."

"Art, poetry and music inspire hope. Hope then inspires the creation of art in turn. Life and nature, and humanity with it, are intertwined with this notion. For art, poetry & music are the products of love. And it's all around us. We share the music we create only to bring people closer to us and closer to each other. We're all in this together so we may as well open an ear and hear where we're all coming from." - Daniel

"Whether Im playing for people or with people, music is about sharing. Especially, though, when I'm experimenting with a song, or even developing one, with other people. Its very fulfilling to experientially share music with others that way. The connection with people that I've found in music I haven't found with anything else. For me, playing music with other people is an elemental form of being, but, its also an expansive form of being. Its about really opening up and connecting with whoever I'm playing music with." -Elisabeth

In 2010, he was grand prize winner of the Music 2Life songwriting competition. Steve is well-loved by audiences and critics alike, and 12 Grapes especially!

Bill Kelly, aka "Mr. Americana", has an infectious charm and charisma on stage. On his CD, "Bread on the Waters", songs like "Seraphima" have been applauded by critics. But our favorite has to be "A Bottle of Wine Don't Last Too Long 'Round Here." Could be our theme song.

Melissa has performed at several of our songwriter showcases, including our 500th Performance event. She has a unique and beautiful voice, and her songwriting is fresh and original.
