"A master at bending boundaries."

Jake grew up playing bluegrass
fiddle and classical violin, then added guitar, mandolin,
songwriting and voice. His compositions sound something like
a conversation between Paul Simon and Bela Fleck on a subway
car in Boston, Massachusetts. He performs in NYC with

Brian Sizensky
Brian's musical aspirations started at the age of sixteen.
His father, also a musician, taught him the basics of
guitar. That's all he needed to start writing his own music.
After hearing Tommy Emmanuel, Brian was inspired to learn
finger style guitar. At the age of twenty three, his
impressive repertoire of original music spans many genres
and is equaled by his natural abilities on guitar and his
smooth vocal quality. He was recently chosen as a featured
songwriter by NetStudio.TV, a collaborative industry website
that brings together writers for film, video and television.
Brian is quickly gathering a local following playing venues
such as Googie's Lounge, Bitter End, Parkside Lounge,
Sullivan Hall, Kenny's Castaways, Ace of Clubs, Café
Vivaldi, and the Triad Theater in New York City and is
currently recording his debut album. Brian is also a
filmmaker and a graduate of The School of Visual Arts for
Film Directing |

channels Tori and Ani in equal measure, with a ripping rock

Danielle Talamini
Indie / Rock / Americana
Brooklyn-born Danielle Talamini is a country gal at heart,
with a sound inspired by the southern rock-n-soul of John
Fogerty and Tom Petty, and a dose of Outlaw country a la
Willie, Waylon and the boys. The result is "The Road Rises,"
a collection of songs about roads traveled the hard way, not
knowing quite where you'll end up, and the good things in
store just up around the bend |

Kagero
”A melting pot you’ll want to lick.” - Stephanie Nolasco,
The Deli Magazine
Kagero's sound has been described as a melting pot of
tonalities and rhythms from Asia, the Middle East and
Eastern Europe. Kagero pulls their core rock sound from
David Bowie and Neil Young, and adds the gypsy flavor of the
violin found in the works of Stephane Grappelli. Kagero's
world music goulash is very tasty – even if you don't always
know what's you're eating. Just call them your local
neighborhood urban-gypsophonic, border-jumping,
international debtor's prison groove-loving feelgood band

began collaborating in 2004, after meeting at The
Songwriter's Beat. Both brimming withjazz and classical
influences, a passion for songwriting, and a wacky sense of
humor, they were instantly birds of a feather. From
reflective balladsto reckless improvisation, there is an
uncanny musical telepathy between the two, and never a
