Vignola worked as a sideman for artists like Leon Redbone and Madonna, and led his famed Hot Club of France tribute band in New York City in the late 1980s. His virtuosity has made him a guitarist of choice for many musicians, including Ringo Starr, Donald Fagen, Wynton Marsalis, Tommy Emmanuel and Mark O' Connor.
An extremely versatile jazz guitarist, Frank Vignola has demonstrated his capabilities, playing everything from fusion and commercial pop-jazz to hard bop, post-bop, and swing. The native New Yorker has a wide variety of influences; from Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and Pat Metheny to Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian. |

Sugar Loaf, NY See Map |
 Matisyahu has come a long way since 2005 when he released his breakout album, Live at Stubb¡¯s (which reached #1 on the Reggae Albums Chart and #30 on the Billboard 200). Since then he has pushed himself dynamically and creatively, breaking with expectation at every turn and remaking his musical image with nearly every album. And his latest¡ªAkeda (Uh-©\kay-©\duh)¡ªis no different in this regard.
Akeda is depth and naturalness; it is by far Matisyahu¡¯s most personal album, and the one over which he has had the most creative control. Quoting Matisyahu, ¡°Akeda is the kind of album an artist makes when there is no other creative choice but to turn oneself inside-©\out, to scrape the insides and reveal everything raw¡±

In a career spanning over twenty five years, Lee Finkelstein has built up a reputation as one of the funkiest and most versatile drummers in New York City. Lee currently tours the world with The Original Blues Brothers Band. |

Middletown, NY See Map |
 "Mr. Cohen isn't the average hippie gone Wall Street, he's also a certifiably smokin' barrel house rumba boogie-woogie piano player in the James Booker/Professor Longhair/Dr. John vein."
David Bennett Cohen has been a professional musician for more than 30 years. Best known for his innovative keyboard playing as an original member of the '60's rock band, Country Joe and the Fish, he is an equally accomplished guitar player who has been involved in numerous music scenes throughout his varied career.
David began his musical education at the age of seven, studying classical piano for seven years. While studying the piano, he began to teach himself the guitar, beginning at the age of nine. When he was 14, he heard boogie-woogie piano for the first time and was hooked. Since then, he has explored many different styles of Blues and popular music.

Featuring Stephen Fulton (flugelhorn), Jack Baker (bass), Champian (piano and voice)
"An assured vocalist with a galvanizing presence." THE NEW YORKER
“Champian is the most gifted pure jazz singer of her generation” Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press
The charismatic New York vocalist and pianist is the talk of Manhattan and shines radiant through her talent and artistic maturity. In spite of her young age, Champian has the lived in voice that gives authority to all the classics and standards, and has played with such masters as Jimmy Cobb, Frank Wess, Lou Donaldson, Louis Hayes and Buster Williams.
Her recent album "Change Partners" presents some extracts of a concert recorded in May 2014 at the Yardbird Suite in Edmonton, Canada. Her crowd-pleasing, and award-nominated voice is supported by equally impressive piano chops, along with a killer backing band. This is the type of traditional vocal/piano jazz that never goes out of style. |

 Born in Havana, Cuba, Tony Leon launched his singing career with Los Melodicos. He went on to work with the Niño Rivera Group and the distinguished Modelo de Miguelito Cuni band.
Tony arrived in New York in 1979 and became soloist for renowned trumpeter and orchestra leader Alfredo 'Chocolate' Armenteros. Their album, Prefiero el Son, recorded with S.A.R. Records, went gold. His years with Chocolate included group concerts, where he worked alongside music greats such as Roberto Torres, Linda Leida, Papaito, Alfredito de la Fe, Alfredo Valdes, Jr. and Marino Solano.
In 1987, he became the lead singer for José Fajardo y Sus Estrellas. It was the legendary flutist and band leader, José Antonio Fajardo who gave Tony his title: El Leon del Bolero.
Tony has performed in concerts with Willie Chirino, Ray Baretto, David Valentino, Cachao, Hansel y Raul, Tito Puente and Johnny Pacheco. He continues to delight audiences with his unique voice and mastery of the bolero.

AMG coined the term "HeaVy Mellow" in 2010 while recording their second album, "No Working Title" to put a name on the feeling. The band has consistently headlined at MAZZSTOCK - the biggest little festival in Upstate NY since 2008 - and plays the Hudson Valley circuit with six officially-active members, a small army of like-minded comrades, heart, soul, brain, and brawn.
