Aly Cat Vocalist/Bassplayer/songwriter
AlyCat exploded onto the scene in 2007 after going solo from jam
band "BrotherSister". Her "spunk funk" is essentially
a tasty blend of funk, jazz, soul, rock and humor. AlyCat consistently
demands the crowd's attention and holds it until the very end with
her boisterous, unruly persona, and vocals to match! |

Eric Paul
is from a small town in Illinois with
rural surroundings. A simple way of life far enough away from the
big city has inspired many songs about relationships, life experiences,
and personal beliefs. His music is described as melodic folk with
an occasional pop rock twist that strives to be original in its delivery,
but memorable upon its departure.

Craig Bickhardt
's songwriting credits read like a Who's Who of the music industry.
Ray Charles, B. B. King, Johnny Cash, The Judds, Martina McBride,
Trisha Yearwood, Allison Krauss, Anne Murray, Art Garfunkel, Poco,
and Vince Gill are just a few of the many luminaries who have dipped
into Craig Bickhardt's well of songs. A discography like that would
be the envy of most songwriters, but the covers are only part of the
story.Bickhardt's performing style has often been called "soulful
folk". Craig credits his Philadelphia roots for the influence.

Lizanne Knott Well
known locally for her floating vocals and lyrical juxtapositions,
her apparent depth and transcending warmth make for an inviting mix
of music which moves easily through dark poetic ballads - to soulful
jazz - to folk driven rock. |
