"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. |

 With a voice praised as “a deep contralto as smooth and dark as the richest espresso” (Jazz Times, November 2007,) award-winning jazz vocalist Alexis Cole has made an impressive impact on audiences ever since she first took the stage as a teenager.

With seven records so far, Alexis Cole is on her way to becoming the next great singer.
Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times says “Cole’s easy sense of swing is strongly reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan”. Ernest Barteldes for AllAboutJazz writes “Cole’s voice is inspired”.

Blues, Americana | Brian's Backyard BBQ
1665 RTE 211 EAST
Middletown, NY See Map |
 For those unfamiliar with the Hudson Valley Blues Scene, it can be surprising that the region has been home to such renowned blues talent as Bill Perry, Popa Chubby, Murali Coryell and Little Sammy Davis, Little Melvin Underwood . But it was under the tutelage of Bill Perry and Popa Chubby that Dan Brother began his guitar playing and singing career.
Since his teens, Dan Brother has been performing in venerable local blues clubs like The Corner Stage, Waterwheel Café, Bodle’s Opera House, and The Downtown. Having shared the stage with mentors like his, it’s no wonder Dan picked up a little of everything along the way – from protest era psychedelia to straight-up blues; classic era soul to southern rock and Texas twang.
Dan has turned all that early on-stage learning into a sound all his own, Dan’s high energy showmanship draws fans young and old.
Dan has performed at one of the premier music venue in the hudson valley with Jimmy Vivino at Brian's Backyard BBQ in Middletown, N.Y |

1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Karl Berger and band bring us into the mind of the unique "fusion" Cherry created in the 70s. The late American jazz trumpeter, Don Cherry was known for his long association with saxophonist Ornette Coleman, which began in the late 1950s. In the 1960s he became a pioneer of world fusion music. In the 1970s he relocated to Sweden, but continued to tour and play festivals throughout the world.
These performers have first-hand experience in performing with Don Cherry himself: Karl Berger came with Don from Paris in the 60s after several years of performances with DC in Europe. Peter Apfelbaum worked closely with DC for many years. He and Steven Bernstein met Don at the Creative Music Studio in Woodstock and worked with him and Peter's "Hieroglyphics Ensemble" in the Bay Area. Mark Helias was one of Don's favorite bassists. |

| A collaboration between veterans of the Philadelphia folk, trip-hop, bluegrass, R&B, and musical theater scenes, A Fistful of Sugar was convened in late 2010 to solve all the world's problems with pretty little tunes. So far, so good.
Centered around strong, lush vocal harmonies and driving "new folk" instrumentals, the product is a distinctly modern sound that resonates with echoes of 1930s hot jazz, traditional 'old-timey' country, gypsy jazz, and other roots musics. With six vocalists and distinctly bluegrassy instrumentation, A Fistful of Sugar has wowed audiences across the Northeast with their powerful, genre-bending, energetic performances that range from the syrupy-sweet to the gritty and swampy.
AFOS completed their self-titled demo in August 2012 and independently released their first full-length studio album, Perspicacity in January 2014. They were selected by the PFS jury to perform on the main stage at the 53rd Annual Philadelphia Folk Festival. |

 Siblings Michael, 21 Avery, 17; and Nadia Cole, 14, started singing together in 2007 after their mother, Felicia, was in a head-on car collision with a drunk driver, which landed her in an eight month coma. They serenaded their mother for months, through to her rehabilitation.
They began traveling to nursing homes and hospitals in an effort to help other patients. In 2009 NBC's "America's Got Talent" opened doors for a recording contract, an opportunity to sing in Madison Square Garden, and their very own live music show in Branson, Missouri. The family story was aired nationally in 2010 on Fox News network as a Mother's Day weekend special. Jet Magazine ran the story for their Mother's Day issue, and Gospel Today Magazine picked up the story, as well. |
