Jenni Alpert is a powerful sultry voice, an eclectic-soul artist based out of Los Angeles. Built on a foundation of soul, jazz and folk, Alpert has fresh musical ideas with a unique vocal style. Her work has been featured in independent films shown at Sundance Film Festival, UCLA and USC. www.jennialpert.com
Marc Douglas Berardo (Connecticut) combines a novelist’s eye for detail with a poet’s passion for words that sings. With an easy stage presence, his songs come across as familiar, pertinent and most of all, engaging. Don Oja Dunaway (Milltop Tavern and Listening Room,St. Augustine, FL) says, “(Marc is) one of the most haunting voices I have ever heard… a wealth of truly great songs.” www.hayloftrecords.com/mdb
Erik Balkey (Philadelphia) released his debut album, "Negotiations & Compromise," in 2002. SingOut! Magazine wrote, "These songs are literate, exacting portraits in amber... a very rewarding album." Erik garnered finalist mention in the Unisong Songwriting Contest, and his songs have been played by nearly one hundred radio deejays worldwide. www.erikbalkey.com
