SHEILA LANDIS TRIO - 6pm-9pm
Singing is Sheila Landis’ passion and jazz is her religion. It’s been a long time since the jazz community has heard a vocalist who embodies such poetic lyricism, one who uses her voice to entice and enliven. Landis approaches the music as if she’s a horn player and she hasn't pigeonholed herself by just playing one style. In fact, she moves through the old tunes with the grace and sophistication of Anita O’Day. Her interpretation of the blues is rich with emotionalism and history, and she has become an expert "scat-ologist."
 
 
CHARLENE BERRY
Charlene Berry has been playing and teaching the Solo Hammered Dulcimer for many years.  She is not only experienced at both playing and teaching, but also writes a lot of her own music.  Having Charlene play for your special event or wedding is a unique and wonderful experience.
 
 
KAYTE STRONG
OK. Kayte isn't 28 years old anymore, so she can't audition for American Idol. Besides, Simon Cowell would not like her. Ryan Seacrest might be be amused for a few minutes. But the vast crowd of aging “Baby-Boomers” in America see in Kayte Strong the same charisma and power to melt their hearts as their own heroes Carole King , Carly Simon, and Karen Carpenter. Kayte is to this generation and genre as Harry Connick Jr. is to the Frank Sinatra culture--an authentic reincarnation of the easy-listening music from the 70's.
