Emily Braden Cannon & Sparrow, Tony Furtado & Luke Price, Pierre Schryer & Adam Dobres, Club Voltaire, Pink Moon Tribute to Nick Drake
Emily Braden is the winner of New York City's 'Best of the Best' Jazzmobile Vocal Competition and two-time cultural ambassador with the US Embassy’s Arts Envoy Program. Originally from Boise, Idaho, Braden is a Harlem-based vocalist, songwriter and lyricist who effortlessly blends jazz, soul and pop to win the hearts of audiences around the world.
Tony Furtado & Luke Price
Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar, and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef.
Pierre Schryer & Adam are two of Canada’s top instrumentalists but like with any great artistic combination, something happens when they play together that elevates their already striking virtuosity to give everyone the feeling that magic is in the air.
Inspired by the great Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli Club Voltaire explore the traditions of Roma-Swing and beyond.
Pink Moon Tribute to Nick Drake faithfully recreates some of history's most ethereal and impressionist music.
