Chris Wilson returned home to Rochester, NY, after a tremendously successful string of over 750 performances throughout Asia and Europe. His vocally driven songwriting and passionate live performances have earned him honors across the globe including “Best Male Vocalist” at the LA World Championships of the Performing Arts. His songwriting serves his voice perfectly, with a blend of power and simplicity.

David Temple, classical guitarist and composer, has performed throughout the country as a soloist, accompanist and ensemble player. A graduate of the music school at Eastern Michigan University, David also studied at the San Francisco Conservatory, and participated in master classes through the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society. He is dedicated to presenting guitar performances that are full of color and variety, and to making the concert experience as enjoyable for the new-comer as for the experienced listener.

Jim Gaudet & the Railroad Boys — Jim Gaudet is the songwriting machine leading this killer bluegrass combo with Bobby Ristau on bass, Sten Isachsen on mandolin and Mat Kane on fiddle. They are incredibly versatile, talented, and a load of fun. Their sound is at once old timey and timeless with echoes of Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, and Earl Scruggs with a rockabilly edge.

Session 9 — A shared love of music brought these four together, practicing at the school they work in during the afterschool period called “Session 9”. Their music covers a range of songs and artists from the 50s through the current top 40, performed in their own style and built around the powerful vocals of Susan Fusca. With Joe Fusca on drums/percussive mayhem, David Moss on bass, and Paul Hartmann on guitar, slide guitar, and backup vocals

Gilles Malkine has been on stage practically all his life; acting, singing, playing guitar, violin, and other instruments. He has taken part in recordings & collaborations with Tim Hardin, Warren Bernhardt, Daniel Abrams, Marilyn Crispell, John Sebastian, Billy Faier, Robbie Dupree, Jimmy Weider, Artie Traum, and many others. His verse has been published in Sing Out! He has composed, arranged, performed, and recorded. His humor and music are not to be missed!

The Judith Tulloch Band performs a blend of jazzy Brazilian, Latin rock, American standards, and original music. Singer-songwriter Tulloch's curvy voice, framed by an evocative band, dips, soars and swoops as she sings about unique subjects. Vocals, guitar, bass, percussion, flutes, and soprano sax drive this music, which has been described as world-pop-fusion with a jazzy edge.

All-She-Wrote: Steve Pounds, Gloria Jean and David LaPlante bring rich three-part harmonies and unique three guitar accompaniments to classic folk and Gloria's superb originals. With a keen ear for arranging and Laplante & Pounds distinctive dual guitar fingerpicking, added to Gloria's clear, sweet vocals, it's no wonder Paul Noel Stookey described them as: “Clearly devoted to the acoustic resonance of real-life, these three are homegrown and rich in flavor. Their voices and arrangements are at once reminiscent of family and friends . . . originals!”
