What a great line-up!

Sister Funk

Sister Funk, the nation's hottest, five-piece, all-female band brings a high energy, entertaining stage show to a growing national following. For the past 6 years, Sister Funk has been headlining concert arenas, clubs and music festivals playing tracks off of their 3 independent CD releases: Pursuit of the Groove (c) 2001, Girl (c) 2003 & Gossip (c) 2006. Sister Funks music is best described as commercial pop/rock, similar in sound & style to artists like Pink & Maroon Five.

Tom Goss
 
Tom offers up surprisingly dynamic and melodic acoustic rock that features muscular guitar, soulful bass, distinctive vocals—and a unique voice. If the 25-year-old has any patron saints, they include David Gray, Dave Matthews, Damien Rice, Ben Folds, and Joss Stone.
Tom released his first CD, Naked Without, in April 2006. To learn more about Tom Goss and listen to his great music...

Steven Gellman
 

Steven has garnered critical acclaim across the country - he was nominated for 4 awards from The Washington Area Music Association Awards (WAMA) and by The Gay/Lesbian American Music Awards (GLAMA) for Debut Album of the Year. His release "Return to Summer Lake" was chosen by Barnes & Noble for national distribution and was featured on their listening post wall. Don Murphy of the National Theatre says "Steven Gellman's insightful original songs and homespun stories provide a soul-warming folk rock respite in a busy chilly world."

Diane Daly
 

Smoky jazz vocal styling of straight ahead standards with a jazzy twist on some unusual suspects. "It isn't easy to cover Rogers and Hammerstein AND Crowded House in the same recording and make it sound seamless, but that is exactly what she has done"- Wayne Wilentz

 

I Ain’t Blue is a collection of jazz standards and contemporary compositions, encompassing a variety of musical influences from Billy Holiday to Phoebe Snow.

Ana Lockett
Ana

Ana began playing the guitar when she was seven. After writing some songs she recorded her first CD with the help of her mother which she kindly gave to her friends and now sells at her shows. She played her first paying gig in 2001 at the University of Vermont's Blockparty. By day this average manored woman is a landscape designer but on weekends join her for one hell of a good time at a show.
