From Central PA, Daniel started playing piano at 10, then guitar at 11 and eventually moved onto bass and ukulele. Daniel was homeschooled until 10th grade, and spent most of his days in junior high playing guitar, learning his favorite musicians' songs while writing his own. When Daniel was 14, he turned a small storage closet in his parents' basement into a make-shift recording studio. When Daniel made the switch to public school, he was excited to find out they had a Sound Engineering class where he learned a lot about music production. As he got older, life brought on hardships and responsibilities that drastically cut down his available time for music, but Daniel still kept his passion. In 2018, he decided he wanted to start my own podcast.

It started out as just an open conversation forum for anybody that had something they were educated in speaking on, but having so many friends within the local music community, it quickly shifted into a music based podcast. Today, Daniel can be found running his own podcast Darker With Daniel and hosting the Central Pennsylvania Music Podcast - CPMP

Based out of Philadelphia, PA, Ameripolitan rockabilly outfit, Mighty Joe Castro & The Gravamen is the latest musical project from accomplished collage artist and musician Mighty Joe Castro (ex-The Situation, The Lift Up). Influenced by 50’s Rock and Roll and infused with post modern Easter eggs cribbed from old episodes of MTV’s 120 Minutes, Mighty Joe Castro takes a modern, lyric driven approach to songwriting while The Gravamen layer on Jesus and Mary Chain-cover-Link Wray guitar atmosphere, booming doghouse bass and swinging beats. The quartet lurks at a crossroads where Sun Records and Creation Records meet.

According to Joe Castro: “Our goal is to play original rock-n-roll, in the style of the pioneers, but update it lyrically and sonically. Take what we’ve learned, everything great that’s come after and go apply it to that original sound. What if Buddy Holly had access to a stack of effects pedals and some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds records? That’s the ethos of the band.”

Currently working on a new full length record, the band released the single Embers in the Ash in 2023. It's the first follow up to their 2020 debut full length album, Come On Angels. Both were recorded at Miner Street Recordings and produced by Brian McTear (Sharon Van Etten, Dr Dog, Dead Milkmen). Previously, they released their debut EP, Wake Up, You’re Rockin’! in 2018.

Music industry Veteran Matt Lindsey (Mel Tillis, Hal Ketchum) was planning a quiet evening at home when he got a call from his friend, legendary music producer Jim Rooney (John Prine, Nanci Griffith).

“He was very insistent that I come down to a show in town,” Lindsey recalls. “He told me he’d found someone he wanted me to hear. He told me he thought this guy had a big future ahead of him. Once again, Rooney was right.”

That was the night Lindsey met Conrad Fisher, a young singer / songwriter from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Fisher had come to Nashville to sit in with Rooney and his Irregulars (a stew of acclaimed session guys like Dan Dugmore, Dave Pomeroy along with acclaimed artists like Tim O’ Brien, Pat Alger, Shawn Camp and more).

“I loved what he did,” says Lindsey. “His music is so natural. I wanted to work with him immediately.”

Indeed, FIsher possesses an immediately likable vocal style, is a fine guitar player skills and brought great original songs to the table. Lindsey and his Ashbrook Recordings partner Jeff Gordon (Elizabeth Cook) wanted to get Fisher into the studio as soon as possible.

The result is Fisher’s new Trouble With A Hammer, a 7–song collection of 5 originals and 2 covers; Tom Petty’s “Walls,” and Waylon Jennings’ “You Asked Me To.” On his originals, Fisher draws from a deep well of influences like Buck Owens (on the title track), Don Williams (“Old Lonesome Feeling” and “Better Now”), and even The Monkees (“Baby I’ve Got You”).

Fisher provided vocals, keyboard, guitars, harmonic, percussion and kazoo and recorded the project at the famed Nashville recording studio, The Sound Emporium. Other noted musicians joining in were Fred Eltringham (drums, percussion), Russ Pahl (steel guitar/electric guitar), Pete Wasner (piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), Gideon Klein (bass, fiddle) and Beth Fisher (vocals).

The Pennyslvania-born singer and songwriter grew up in a Mennonite household where his dad played Johnny Cash records and where the young Fisher learned to love the harmonies of the church he attended.

In 2018 Fisher went to Nashville to seek out his songwriting heroes like Roger Cook (“I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”), Dickey Lee (“She Thinks I Still Care”), Dallas Frazier (“Elvira”), and Bill Anderson (“Tip of my Fingers”), among others.

Still based in Pennsylvania, Fisher is an accomplished carpenter and spends time in his workshop building things for his family and friends.

From engineering in multi-million dollar recording studios and music venues to the classroom, Dan has worn many hats during his short time in the music industry.

Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Dan has dug roots in Central PA. Graduating from York College of Pennsylvania in 2016, he quickly returned to manage the college's new recording studio and organically transitioned into teaching their Music Production courses. Through his academic years he jumped at every opportunity and grew a network of industry professionals in the area that opened several doors.

While his first love will always be mixing songs that inspire him and working with artists in the studio, he is also no stranger to the live events side of music. Dan is an example of how building organic relationships can lead to a sustainable career in an otherwise competitive and (arguably) over saturated industry.

Liam Galiano is Lancaster’s resident bass geek. He loves nothing more than exploring the instrument, learning every sound that’s come before and searching for any new sound yet to be uncovered.

As a hired gun, Liam is a wise old chameleon. He can play whatever the song calls for, be it a perfectly in-the-pocket quarter note root, a funky slap groove, a high-speed picked unison lick, or a classic two-feel on a double bass.

As one third of Soul Miners Union, Liam is a storyteller. Aside from co-authoring the lyrics, he carefully constructs the bass lines to contribute to the arc of the tale. Dynamics, shifts from upper to lower registers, and careful use of space allow Liam to support the song’s message.

As a collaborator, he enjoys reinterpreting classic tunes as well as exploring the relationship between bass and other instruments. He loves performing in a duo capacity, most commonly as “Liam & Anna” with the fantastic singer Anna Kerstetter. This format allows him to explore the chordal side of the 6-string bass, while always serving the song.

As a solo artist, the song serves the bass. A showcase for extended-scale extended techniques, Liam loves to employ slap, tap, chords, and especially harmonics to try to take the instrument where it hasn’t been before.

Bass is a role in music – it can be filled by a Fender Precision, yes, but also by a piano or tuba, or voice. But bass is also an instrument, capable of much more than playing the root notes. This is Liam’s passion – to celebrate the total instrument and the many conventional and not-so-conventional ways it can translate music from his soul to your ears.

You could call Cody Tyler & Gypsy Convoy “red dirt country,” but the rocky soil in coal country and the rust belt, where Cody’s family has been rooted for centuries, is a few shades darker. The songs on Cody’s debut album are the product of his musings while hunting deep in the Pennsylvania wilderness. At 28 years old, his musical journey has just begun, but his yearning to travel the open road with his songs written from his tree stand have already taken him across the United States.

Drawing heavy influence from the likes of Waylon Jennings, The Allman Brothers Band, The Steel Woods, Sturgill Simpson, and more, Cody's voice and guitar sport a road-tested sound.

His band’s debut album, Stare Your Demons Down, was recorded at Think Loud Studios (York, PA), a private studio space in Lancaster, PA, and Full Tilt Productions (Mechanicsburg, PA). Cody describes its sound as “dusty like the coal mines and rusty like the steel mills. It’s soulful and bluesy country for Appalachian folks that want to kick up their boots.”

The protagonists of ALEX STANILLA’s songs live at the intersection of fact and fiction, the push and pull between introspective honesty and rich character study. “I’m really inspired by film,” the Lebanon, PA-based singer-songwriter says. “My lyrical style tends to take an impressionistic view of films, with the subtext of watching it through a different lens and using it to interpret my life.”

Stanilla’s life has seen its fair share of musical milestones (for starters, he performed at Carnegie Hall as a 10-year-old violinist) but now his latest act puts his cinematic songwriting style – and film degree – on full display. His self-released single “Favorite Song” is awash in vibrant indie-rock groove and meditative poise, ruminating on the 1979 musical drama All That Jazz and its semi-autobiographical look at the life of Bob Fosse. It’s rough-around-the-edges passion seeded with grand ambitions, richly intimate soul-searching storytelling that still manages to resonate on a universal level.

There’s a refreshing level of self-awareness in Stanilla’s songs, from his 2017 LP/mixtape Qualia (later reissued in 2019) to a prolific 2020-2021 singles series. And while some minor details have at times been changed to protect the guilty – namely himself – an air of authenticity still permeates every note of his music. He plays all of those notes himself, on every instrument, equally inspired by the tenderness and inward turmoil of Elliott Smith, the eccentricity of synthy electro-pop, and the energy of underground bands like Chiodos, Circa Survive, and Dance Gavin Dance that influenced his early years.

Clifton Bryan is originally from central Florida. He grew up on the redneck side of town. Country music was always playing in his house growing up. Everyone always said he was the entertainer of the family. Clifton started playing the guitar around 19yrs old. He had just gotten out of the Army and was living with his uncle who taught him how to do some finger picking in his spare time. At 20yrs old, Clifton was living in LA with 6 other people in a 2-bedroom flat, working at a local gym, trying to become an actor on the big screen. Music wasn’t on his radar until he came across a guitar which he bought from a pawn shop in the Los Angeles valley in 1998 for a hundred bucks. By the end of the first week and three chords later Clifton wrote his first song! Clifton then went on to learn how to play and sing better, taking advice from lots of talented people over the years. He went through my early 20’s learning all the songs I grew up listening to and trying to find myself as a musician.

Clifton has been playing out locally for the last 1.5yrs and professionally for almost a year now. He still can’t believe that he gets paid to play music and not just any music, but his own original brand of music. The support has been unimaginable.

In the last year Clifton has brought some real country music to the local scene. It all started out with an open mic one night a week, then 2 nights a week. It didn't take long, and he was opening for Ryan Allen, Whiskey on the Rocks, Garrett Shultz, Ben Garner, Tyler Short, Ty March, Phillip Good and No Reply. Clifton has headlined at McCleary's, Burning Bridge Tavern, The Floating Squirrel, Harvest and Columbia Kettleworks 2nd Gear multiple times. He's played at the Tin Roof in Nashville over the summer. He is in the studio recording his 1st single "Belt Buckle Billy" and will be shooting the music video at the Burning Bridge Tavern very soon.

Currently, Clifton hosts his own open mic night and karaoke night at two separate venues.

Johny B grew up in the streets of Northeastern Baltimore. Times weren't always easy as Johny was growing up, but one thing was always on his mind: Music. Music has always been a part of his life thanks to his parents and older brother. He picked up his first guitar at six and well, the rest is history. Whether it was playing songs of his mom's records or playing his own, Johny was always playing. Watching his brother play in his band only fueled Johny's passion. So by his senior year, he was already touring with the band "Buzz Buster" playing guitar and doing covers. However, originals were always on Johny's mind.

Johny has come full circle with his career, from writing his first song at 7 to performing with heavy metal hair bands and now back again to his simplistic style of swampy blues and heartfelt lyrics.

Cory Rosen is a songwriter, composer, pianist, and so much more! He graduated from Lancaster Bible College with a degree in both Music Composition and Biblical Studies. Born and raised in Salisbury, MD with a father who was a notable local drummer and a mother who loved the marching band, Cory fell in love with music.

Now based in Lancaster, PA, Cory has noticed the very unique musical landscape with talented Church members, bigger than life musical theater actors and actresses, as well as a robust community of gigging musicians. Cory wants to bring them all together to not only compare and contrast their careers, but to bring the community of musicians and music lovers closer together.

There is such a big opportunity for collaboration and support in Lancaster county and currently, it’s being overlooked and unrecognized. Cory’s goal is to highlight local musicians and production members in the hopes that not only that you may enjoy their stories, but that you and others will see these musicians and support them by going out to see their shows, boosting our local economies, and letting our great community grow.

Performer and songwriter Andrew Pauls has been active in the Lancaster music scene and beyond since 2015, bringing energy, humor, and vulnerability into rooms of all sizes. He leads with a story — whether that’s a story about his own life, someone he met along the way, or one he’s made up. Andrew’s songs range from foot-stomping bops to cry-your-eyes out dirges, sounding something like Bob Dylan tossed into a blender with indie rock, pop, and country music.

His most recent release, “Spain”, invites listeners along to take in the sounds and stories of three Spanish cities, reflecting on what it’s like to come home a changed person.

Andrew lives in Lancaster, PA with his partner, a rescue pup, and quite a few instruments and bicycles.

One could say Ben Brandt was born with a guitar in his hands and this would not be far from the truth. The son of a professional musician, Ben cannot remember a time when the guitar was not a part of his life. As a baby he was fascinated by the instrument and by the time he was three he was picking out riffs on his father’s guitars. In 1999, at the age of 10, Ben started his own band, the Ben “Jamin” Brandt Project and his talents were discovered by a local radio station in NJ, WDHA. They promoted his music and booked him at festivals where he shared the stage with the likes of Savoy Brown and Billy Hector.

In 2010 Ben moved to Harrisburg, PA and started the Ben Brandt Trio in which he was both vocalist and lead guitarist. They played throughout the PA/MD/DC/VA region where they quickly gained a wide fan base in the Blues/Rock scene. Over the years Ben and his band have had the opportunity to open for a number of well known acts such as Jimmy Thackery, Doyle Bramhall II, Gary Hoey, Coco Montoya, The Record Company, etc. He has also been called to the stage to sit in with notable guitarists such as Davy Knowles, Artur Menezes and Albert Castiglia. Ben also is a member of the Central Pennsylvania Blues Society (BSPA) and frequently performs at their weekly jam sessions.

In 2019 Ben teamed up with singer/songwriter Kevin Koa and formed the Soul Miners Union, a roots and blues based project that featured original songs with great grooves and catchy lyrics. Their debut album was recorded and produced by legendary guitarist/producer Josh Smith at his Flat V studio in Los Angeles. The album was released in September 2020. Blues Rock Review wrote, “Brandt brings a gritty, seasoned approach to the songs he captains.” At times Ben provides “crisp licks and understated solos” whereas other songs allow Ben “the space to stretch out and cut into some aggressive playing” with “riff driven rhythm and ominous lyrics.” The album contained “deft playing, seamless transitions and memorable choruses” and was a “fresh take on a few different blues areas.”

Ben’s influences over the years have included a very eclectic mix of Blues, Prog and Rock from Chris Cain, Gary Moore and Eric Johnson to Andy Timmons, Robin Trower, Steve Vai and Alex Lifeson. These different genres and playing styles provide Ben with a broad palette to pull from to hone his craft. Dynamics and phrasing are key components in Ben’s playing where every note has meaning and purpose, and his impeccable tone is sought after by guitarists both young and old.

Ben’s skills are well known in Harrisburg, PA and the surrounding tri-state area where he continues to perform on a regular basis. Ben is not one to be put in a box and always strives to learn new things, pushing himself and the musicians he plays with. At 32 years of age and over 20 years of playing live Ben has acquired a lot of experience yet he has truly only begun to show the world what he is capable of.

Listen, Imagine, and Melt into Alexia’s rock messages of single life, reality, love, loss and dreams. A rising D.C. Metro vocalist, she is proud to release her third album, For Singles Only.

She launched her rock debut as a singer in Sherwood High School’s Rock N’ Roll Revival, the longest running show in MOCO. Her passion for classic rock ignited. Simultaneously, as soprano in Sherwood’s Chambers Choir, Alexia journeyed through England and Ireland, performing in cathedrals and venues.

Vince's love of music and concerts started early. His bedroom was right above the jukebox in their family tavern, so he loves a good bass line. Every time the jukebox man showed up with the latest singles, he collected all the old ones. His parents gave him free rein over the hi-fi (early favorites included Help and Magical Mystery Tour). His dad co-produced concerts and music festivals in the tri-state area, letting him tag along and get glimpses into the logistics, stage productions, and rock and roll lifestyle. Starting with the Eagles at the Civic Arena in 1979, his best guess is that he's seen about 700 acts over the years. Vince was also fascinated by photography at an early age, poring over album inserts and Rolling Stone magazine covers. His mom gave him her Canon the day he set off for college, and he's been shooting ever since.

A professional writing graduate from Gannon University, Vince moved from western PA to Lancaster county to pursue a career in journalism but ended up working in technology when the publishing company he worked for began developing newsletters and magazines about this new thing called "The Internet." He's been the IT Director for Godfrey, a world-ranked B2B marketing firm, for over 25 years. The shooting continued, though, with side-hustles ranging from weddings to tourism and real estate photography. His 'happy place' - where everything else just melts away- is at concerts with his Nikon in hand.

Vince currently lives in Lancaster with his partner Michele, a marketing professional, and their Golden Retriever, Lucy.

Austin was born, raised, and currently resides in Gettysburg Pennsylvania; often feeling as though he was in the middle of no where, Austin imagined that he would eventually have to move to LA or New York to make his overly ambitious dreams a reality. But he's found himself increasingly satisfied as an entertainer in Pennsylvania. The idea that one has to live in one of the two most savagely competitive markets to make one's dreams come true isn't always the case. Since Austin was a child his dream was to play music on stage; his dream was to act in films, the good news that almost no one tells you is that you can do that almost anywhere today. If your dream is to have money and fame... that might not be in the cards however. But if money and fame are what you desire most about being in entertainment, than you might have more fun being a bartender instead.

About the performance, Allan Kozinn of The New York Times wrote, "... a demandingly agile clarinet line, played with both virtuosity and nuance by Doris J. Hall-Gulati, wove its way through a variegated orchestra fabric." Ms. Hall-Gulati made her Carnegie (Weill) Hall debut playing with the Alaria Chamber Ensemble, and her Merkin Hall debut, premiering Thea Musgrave's "Ring Out Wild Bells," with the Philadelphia Trio.

In addition to her position as Principal Clarinet in The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, The Ocean City, NJ Pops Orchestra and the PA Philharmonic Orchestra.

When you look at modern country music you can identify a diverse range of styles that have evolved from the traditional roots form. From pop country to bush ballads, acoustic folk-leaning songs to rousing country rock and the polymorphic blend of Americana. One Australian artist that can lay claim to all of these strains is Catherine Britt, a songwriter who has already packed a respected and highly acclaimed career into her first two decades as a recording artist.

From Newcastle to Nashville, Catherine made the move to the home of country music at just 17 years old. It proved to be a brave decision that gave her immeasurable experience as a musician, insight into the machinations of the industry and a contract with the legendary RCA Records. Upon returning to Australia in 2009, Catherine set about recording her debut full length album Dusty Smiles and Heartbreak Cures, the first of five consecutive albums nominated for Album Of The Year at the CMAA (Country Music Awards of Australia). The accolades didn’t stop there. Along the way she has received five Golden Guitar Awards, the CMA Global Artist Of The Year award in 2010 and six ARIA Award nominations for Best Country Album.

The critical acclaim for her albums and reputation as a performer has seen Catherine tour and perform with some of the biggest names in music, including Sir Elton John, Don McLean, Kasey Chambers, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Kenny Chesney, Steve Earle, Guy Clark, Chris Isaak and Keith Urban.

Not content with just carving out an enviable career as a songwriter, performer and recording artist, Catherine has also been involved in the wider country music community as a radio broadcaster on ABC’s Saturday Night Country show, TV host on CMC’s Alt Country program and most recently as the editor and owner of Rhythms, Australia’s premiere roots music magazine.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs, both good and bad, and the few years have seen Catherine fight and win a battle with breast cancer, give birth to two boys, and leave her marriage.

“Over the years being an artist has meant different things to me and I’ve had different goals. My goal from when I was a young girl was to make money from music which I’ve been able to do and I’m really proud of. At different points of my life I’ve felt the pull of wanting to be famous and chasing that dream, living in Nashville and then realising that that wasn’t what I wanted to do. It’s constantly changing but my ultimate goal has been fulfilled and I can never see myself not making music. It’s what I’ve always done and it comes naturally to me and I feel like it’s what I’m meant to do, that and being a mum.”

Kathleen is currently serving as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Oboe at Franklin and Marshall College. She was the director of the Intermezzo Winds (under the umbrella of Allegro’s NextGen Youth Music Organization) in 2018-2020.

As a Berks County native, local culture has always been a huge inspiration that Adam often filters though a counter-cultural lens. Hence, DeitschePunk aptly describes his approach to most things in the world of art and expression, as well as his aversion to all things mainstream. He firmly believes art is about telling the story, not selling the story. Please, buy him a sandwich.

Steeped in classical traditions of performance, Adam studied dance since the age of 3, acting, music, and voice since middle school, began getting paid for acting (or what most other actors mistakenly call "professionally") around the age of 12, and went on to study theatre at Kutztown University back when they had a theatre department, RIP. After school Adam pursued his teaching certification in the Alba Method for emotional expression, and spent the next 12 years waiting for people to admit they have emotions. He's still waiting.

From Columbine up to Covid, Adam performed in several bands in the Reading music scene from high school through college, worked with as many local theatre companies as would let him, and worked at too many college theatre programs right before their funding was cut. He has seen a lot of local art programs die.

During Covid and since (just kidding, we're still in Covid), Adam was a member of the Pandemic Players PA, a frequent participant of the Bones Culture music collective (shout out Ben Oaks), and he also stumbled into home recording his music but will never call himself a producer. Currently, he is the Tech Director for Penn State Berks until their theatre dept dies, a very proud member of I.A.T.S.E local 97, and co-founder and creator with Rad Scrapple, and the Actor's School of Lancaster, whose goal is to transform actors into artists.

Daryl Davis is an international recording artist, published author, actor, and leader of The Daryl Davis Band.

Born in the Electric Blues Capital of the world, Chicago Illinois, Daryl absorbed the influences of the South from musicians who traveled North from the Mississippi Delta, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Missouri to this Blues Mecca.

Daryl Davis earned his Bachelor of Music Degree from Howard University in Washington, DC where he was a member of their world famous and renowned Jazz Vocal Ensemble. In addition to being a vocalist, guitarist, and composer, Daryl is a keyboardist extraordinaire. Upon graduation, Daryl went on to work with such artists as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Platters, The Drifters, The Coasters, Bo Diddley, Percy Sledge, and Sam Moore (of Sam & Dave), to name a few.

He’s not white. He’s not even light-skinned. Make no mistake about it; he’s black. Yet Daryl Davis has come in closer contact with members of the Ku Klux Klan than most whites and certainly most blacks — short of being on the wrong end of a rope. What’s more? He continues to do so, making him one of the most unique lecturers on the speaking circuit today.

On a quest to do nothing more than explore racism and gather information for his book, Klan-Destine Relationships, Daryl Davis eventually became the recipient of numerous robes and hoods given to him by KKK members who rescinded their beliefs after coming to know him. He had inadvertently stumbled upon a successful method of forming friendships between sworn enemies.

As a race relations expert, Daryl Davis has received acclaim for his book, Klan-Destine Relationships and his work in race relations from many respected sources including CNN, NBC, Good Morning America, The Learning Channel, National Public Radio, The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, and many others. He is also the recipient of numerous awards including the highly prestigious Elliott-Black Award and the Bridge Builder Award presented by the American Ethical Union and Washington Ethical Society respectively, to name a few.

Jess Cannzie, aka Jesse Cannon, is a Live host and podcast host for U Street Media Company out of Lancaster, PA (formally TCP ENT). He signed with them in 2018.

Cannzie started off as an artist performing and marketing without much return. Audio engineering can into play as an option after he realized he had to figure out how to have money coming in instead of always putting money out. Cannzie went to school for audio engineering, but dropped out. However, it was always something he wanted to always do. Through the guidance of a legend producer and engineer, Frank Franchise, he learned the skills he needed to start thriving as a mixing engineer under the tag cadence “It’s Cannzie Daddy.“ This new role not only brought substantial income but it open the door for him to work with artists like Nova, Ekko, OTH, Cassidy, and many more.

Cannzie is a personality without much filter on his tongue, which really opened the door for radio hosting. While preparing for an event in Philly to accompany OTH, Cannzie met the 610 radio owner through a local promoter. He was offered a spot on the radio immediately. His show started as "Coffee with Cannzie" in the morning, but the show ended up being called "Boss Talk" during midday rush and another host, Savage Kayy, was added to make the show gold. "Boss Talk" opened the door to host many concerts for Casanova, Jim Jones, Gillie the Kid, Cipha Sounds, and many more.

After a while, U Street Media took over "Boss Talk" and Cannzie has been with them ever since.

Originally from mid-state Virginia, Chris has lived in Lancaster for most of his life. He earned a BM from Lebanon Valley College as a music and recording major, and then jumped right into teaching and performing.

Over the past 18 years, Chris has taught many hundreds of guitar students, both collegiately and through private lessons. At his height, he was teaching approximately 70 private students a week. Though he doesn’t have much time for independent teaching these days, he does keep a few individual students, but most of his teaching time is devoted to the collegiate world. He is currently head of the guitar program at Lancaster Bible College, and will be taking over the program at Franklin and Marshall College in the Fall of 2022. Previously, he ran the guitar program at Albright College from 2005-2010.

As a player, Chris has been fortunate to have had a wide range of gigging and touring opportunities. Over the years, he’s played with many jazz and rock groups, toured in extreme metal bands, played in regional orchestras, and joined backing bands for national and international artists.

Since 2010, Chris has been heavily involved in the theater world in Lancaster. Beginning at American Music Theater, and then branching out into many others, he’s been involved with various performance venues and theater companies for the past 12 years. He’s worked with The Fulton, AMT, Prima, Servant Stage, and others. Since mid-2017, Chris has been first-call guitarist at the Fulton theater, and is currently playing in the band for Jersey Boys.

Also since mid-2017, Chris has been the head of worship and technology at Saint James Episcopal Church in downtown Lancaster. He runs all contemporary music (which includes the well-known Saturday night secular music mass that St James has run for years), while also running all streaming, video, and technology. In addition, he plays oud for contemplative services and events, including the popular First Friday Compline.

Previously, Chris was the band director and recording engineer for Victory Church of Lancaster for over 15 years. In addition to his music work, Chris is also a mixing and mastering engineer for Immersive Music Media Group, which is an immersive sound studio and post-production house in Lancaster.

When not working, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife and kids.

After starting a career as an actor in the San Francisco Bay Area during the 1990s, Bradley Hawkins and his family moved to Lancaster in 1997 where he taught film studies, acting, and humanities courses at Lebanon High School as well as directed several stage productions there through 2012. Now retired from teaching, Hawkins made his directorial debut for the big screen in 2015 with his award-winning comedy short, ROLLER COASTER.

Hawkins is currently living his dream as a film director, screenwriter, and producer, and is the co-founder of Lancaster-based film production company, Dadley Productions. The small startup film company now has three multi-award-winning short films that have cumulatively won over 200 film awards, with several of those being earned for Hawkins’ direction, screenwriting, producing, and original music scoring. Roller Coaster and Filling In can now be seen on Amazon Prime Direct and Calf Rope will be streamed from PureFlix beginning on August 1st.

Hawkins and his co-screenwriters also have two new short film scripts completed (Night Voices and Book Drive) as well as two feature-length screenplays (Calf Rope - the feature and Wrangled) that have both won awards. Hawkins hopes to roll all four of these film projects now in development into production within the next five years.

It paid $50 and a case of PBR, but there he took up the accordion to soon after earn a role in a two-year Broadway touring production that ran in 70 cities across the US, Canada and Japan. He acted, played guitar, accordion and foot percussion at Arena Stage in DC, Kansas City Repertory Theatre and Baltimore Center Stage before the pandemic, but has yet to be cast in a theatre production close to Lancaster. Instead, he’s the ringleader of the accordion-powered romp-rock band for adventurers, Featherburn, and the one-man ensemble, MiloSolo.

A song and story man, a compulsive adventurer, a rural Pennsylvania yokel with a restless curiosity and a passion for street performance, Leo DiSanto has hauled his wanderlust wagon and his guitar case everywhere from gypsy camps in Transylvania to monasteries in the high Himalaya to the boulevards of New Orleans to the wild interior of Alaska.

Known for his imaginative songwriting, powerful singing voice, exciting live performances, and captivating storytelling, Leo is the founding front man of the award-winning, original Amerikindasorta string band, Vinegar Creek Constituency. He currently roams the country in the company of a wildly enthusiastic brown dog named Ringo, a pair of van-dwelling nomads on a perpetual tour.

Whether you’re looking to be elevated and motivated or to enjoy the relaxing vibes, DukeSoCrazy covers it all. Born and raised In Harrisburg Pennsylvania, “Duke's” musical Journey began. From the choirs of the Baptist church to the multiple instruments played in high school, It was apparent early on that music was going to be his life. In middle school, Duke gained a love of poetry seeing as it was a solid form of expression without getting in trouble.

Guided by the Zulu Queen Michele Hairston. Duke discovered HIp-Hop and its roots. He then turned free-form poetry into songs and would perform these songs during lunch time in high school. This was key for Duke because this is where he would learn the art of the performance and most of all, how to engage a crowd.

Not your average artist, DukeSoCrazy will leave crowds in awe of the raw and bright energy that is so “Crazy!” Whether it’s a showcase of rubber ducks or bucket hats, it is sure to keep the crowd's attention. If one listens to the music, surely, you will become a fan and leave you with the impression “Wow, that was crazy.“

Most recently, Doris won a 2018 GRAMMY AWARD as clarinet soloist with “The Crossing” on an Oratorio by Lansing McLoskey titled ZEALOT CANTICLES. Doris can also be heard on the MMC, Naxos and New World record labels. About the recent Naxos recording of Hansen's "Nymphs and Satyr Ballet Suite," Paul Cook of classicstoday.com, was moved to say, "I was particularly taken (by) Doris Hall-Gulati on the clarinet." A new recording of clarinet and bass clarinet works by John Carbon was released in September 2017, and in 2018 she has recorded new works with several composers and is awaiting their release. Most recently, Doris has recorded works with Lyric Fest, Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, The Crossing and composer Kile Smith.

After being awarded First Prize in the Louise D. McMahon International Music Competition, Doris gave her New York City debut, performing the world premiere of John Carbon's "Rhapsody for Clarinet and Orchestra," at Avery Fischer Hall, Lincoln Center, with Gerard Schwarz and the New York Chamber Symphony. About the performance, Allan Kozinn of The New York Times wrote, "... a demandingly agile clarinet line, played with both virtuosity and nuance by Doris J. Hall-Gulati, wove its way through a variegated orchestra fabric." Ms. Hall-Gulati made her Carnegie (Weill) Hall debut playing with the Alaria Chamber Ensemble, and her Merkin Hall debut, premiering Thea Musgrave's "Ring Out Wild Bells," with the Philadelphia Trio.

In addition to her position as Principal Clarinet in The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, The Ocean City, NJ Pops Orchestra and the PA Philharmonic Orchestra. Doris is also Acting Principal Clarinet/ Bass Clarinetist of Opera Philadelphia and Assistant Principal/Bass Clarinetist with the Lancaster Symphony. She also performs regularly with the PA Ballet, The Philly Pops, the Delaware Symphony , Orchestra 2001and Vox Amadeus. In 2011, Doris became an Artist-in-Residence at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA and is happy to have joined the faculty of the Lancaster Bible College in 2015.

An advocate for new music, Doris has performed in music festivals and on multiple Series as soloist and chamber musician throughout the world. Doris is a member of the FULBRIGHT-HAYS awarded ensemble Trio Clavino, performing throughout the US, Europe and Asia. Doris also performs annually with Beyond Ourselves, a group of chamber musicians who performs to help raise monies for MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) peace-keeping efforts around the world. In 2018, this four-member ensemble plus guests raised funds for the MCC/MDS post-hurricane efforts in Puerto Rico and Haiti. Doris also spent time in CUBA and BERMUDA in June 2017, volunteering as a clarinet instructor and mentor.

Doris earned her Bachelor's degree from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, and she received a Masters in Music studying on a graduate fellowship from the University of Michigan. Doris is a Phi Kappa Lambda. Her principal instructors have been Ignatius Gennusa, Loren Kitt, and Fred Ormand. She was introduced to chamber music by Karen Tuttle, whom Doris greatly admired.

Doris and her husband Andy are active in the Catastrophic Relief Alliance. This is a grass roots organization composed of college students and local craftspeople whose mission is to help those in need. CRA strives to provide support by rebuilding homes affected by natural disasters. Their most recent trip was in January 2019, traveling to New Orleans to assist with the continued recovery from the Hurricane Katrina devastation.

Born and raised in Lancaster, PA. Brandon grew up a youth of the 90’s grunge-rock era with dreams of his high-school rock band somehow making it big. Through high school he worked both as a stage tech at AMT (family business), as well as a local stagehand in Philly and Hershey for large concert tours that would come through the area, which is where he was first exposed to live touring production. Around this same time, Brandon’s band recorded their first demo album, at which point he could finally hear just how amatuer they were. So Brandon set his sights on the next best thing, in his book.

After graduating high school Brandon packed up a few belongings in a U-haul and drove south to Florida, where he attended Full Sail University to get an education in being a sound guy. After graduating Full Sail, Brandon immediately drove back to Lancaster and showed up on the doorstep of Clair Brothers Audio, in Lititz, in search of a job. Barry Clair agreed to chat with him and asked him what he thought he could do, if hired. Brandon told him he’d sweep up the warehouse, if he had a broom for him. He hired Brandon on the spot. He worked his way through the shop and about 6 months later he was given his first touring gig with an established band.

It’s been quite a winding road, since then, but here he is, back in Lancaster again; now with three kids and a wife he says he doesn't deserve, and a job that allows him to still pretend to be in the music business. These days, Brandon’s time at AMT is pretty evenly split between overseeing production, marketing and sales, and booking shows. He gets to work with an awesome bunch of people who try their hardest to make him look good, but that can be a tall order.

Passionate about worship and helping people draw closer to God through it, Hunter loves serving the church by serving as a Worship Director at Victory Church, PA! Hunter currently serves as the worship director for the Ephrata campus, and a student worship director at the main Greenfield Campus.

Originally from Connecticut, Hunter and his fiancée Aly met at Lancaster Bible College. There he was part of the LBC traveling worship team, MBSSY. Psalm 95:1, which calls us to worship the Lord by making a joyful noise to Him, is what Hunter’s passion in ministry is all about! (He also recommends that everyone read the book “Worship Matters!” by Bob Kauflin, which brings a fresh perspective on what praising God should be.)

Hunter’s favorite things include the Boston Red Sox, Chick-Fil-A, making music in the studio, and hanging out with friends at the golf course.

Matt & Carol are married best-friends entertaining and touching lives with a guitar and two voices for over 30 years.

Matt & Carol have a lot of fun onstage. Since the late 1980s, their music has carried audiences through laughter and tears, telling stories and moving them closer to the ones they love.

Carol’s charming voice calls the listener back to the days of Amy Grant, Karen Carpenter and Patsy Cline, while Matt’s guitar provides a musical foundation built on layers of country, folk, and jazz. Smooth, sparkling harmonies mix with powerful emotion to breathe new life into modern hits, traditional standards, hymns, and their own heart-warming songs celebrating real life and real love.

They’ve appeared in concert from New Jersey to Nashville, performing over 350 events each year (close to 4,000 since 2010).

You May Have Seen Them At Events Sponsored By:

American Cruise Lines, Berkshire Hathaway, ORVIS Stores, Dickey's BBQ Pit, US ARMY, National Street Rod Association,

York Revolution & Lancaster Barnstormers Baseball, National Day Of Prayer, and more.

"Our love started in music," Matt says, "We've played together as friends since 1988 and as husband/wife since 1993. Sometimes it was hard and it looked like we wouldn't make it, but we weren't quitting. As we revealed ourselves to God and each other, He healed us and brought us into the SweetLife; hence the name. And we’re still best friends after all these years." Carol agrees, "Music's a huge part of our marriage, and that relationship is the foundation for our songs."

They've created/released five full-length recordings and dozens of singles. With roughly 1,000 song credits, they're still writing their own love story and creating “snapshots” of important moments & family events. Their latest full-length release (self-titled SWEETLIFE) is their closest audio representation of their hearts & minds so far."

Andrew got his start with music at an early age. Andrew started making mix tapes by grabbing snips from the radio of the tunes he loved as a child and would then learn to play his first drum kit along with the tracks. As Andrew grew up, he started to learn other instruments and found that he could quickly pick up the basics of most instruments he put his hands on. In his teenage years, Andrew watched as digital technology started to develop in the industry and became hooked on sampling, sequencing, and mixing beats and songs of his own -behind a computer or a mixer felt more at home for him.

Andrew soon found himself mixing FOH for some of the best Cabaret singers on the NYC circuit while still in high school. The road from there took a few twists and turns (literally) but after some time he found himself back behind a mixer doing what he truly loves, bringing quality sound music to the masses. Andrew now works as the lead music engineer at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse in Lancaster, PA.

John Terlazzo gave his first public poetry reading at Martin Memorial Library (York, PA) when he was eighteen years old. With virtually no publicity, he read his early poems to an audience numbering eighty-five that night. Out of that reading, and in the two years that followed, Terlazzo co-founded the York Poets Union, a loosely - knit group of some 300 poets & writers who presented public readings and writing workshops. A truly egalitarian group, each member had the right to call himself (or herself) "president" of the York Poets Union if that would in some way serve them.

Since that time, Terlazzo has given hundreds of poetry readings and concerts of his original songs in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, and other areas of the U.S. as well as in Mexico, Canada & Europe. He has facilitated countless writing workshops for children and adults, served as poet-in -residence in the York (PA) city schools, has publicly read from, and discussed banned books for the American Library Association, has organized and hosted public readings for other poets and writers, has led poetry camping retreats, has brought his workshops to high schools, to former and present mental patients (In Vancouver, British Columbia & elsewhere), to psychologists, psychotherapists, and other helping professionals and to the general public as well. He taught his workshop, The Secret Tells Itself: Writing as a Contemplative Act at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center every Monday night for five years, and as part of the Crispus Attucks YouthBuild Program twice a week for three years. His popular weekend Retreat, The Flame in Every Hand: Writing as a Contemplative Act happens several times a year in various parts of the country.

John has performed with various musical groups including The Widowed Horse Folk Revue, A Band of Beggars, and The New Transcendentalists, and for over 25 years now has been leader and songwriter for the ensemble Voices In The Hall. "Voices" offers up a rich array of strong vocal harmonies combined with old world instrumentation - acoustic guitars, accordion, flute, cello, mandolin, recorders & tin whistles, upright & fretless bass, percussion, piano & Hammond B3 organ. The result is a kind of Modern Surrealist Gypsy Music ( a phrase coined by an audience member after seeing the band perform in Lenox, MA) - a music that is both timeless & centering. John Terlazzo's songs and poems take us through a surreal other-worldly village terrain peopled by strange and glorious creatures - luminous antelopes, an angel with a broken trumpet, a dancing man balancing his dagger on the bridge of his nose, a blindfolded heroine on horseback whose burning hand illuminates the night, the veiled face of the Eternal. These are both love songs & mystical teaching tales, at once - and all too human, "like Marc Chagall gone aural."

Terlazzo's first album, Honor Among Thieves (1983) has recently become a kind of international curiosity when a writer in Sweden reviewed the album in a book about "folk & psychedelic music from 1965 through 1985". As a result, the album - as well as Terlazzo's more recent works - have been selling throughout Europe, Canada and Asia (& even some in the U.S.!). Honor Among Thieves has recently been re-released for the first time on CD (& streaming) along with an additional 30 minutes of (previously unreleased) songs recorded Live in Concert in the 1970s, under the title Honor Among Thieves: A Retrospective.

John Terlazzo speaks and howls, dances, whispers and raves when he reads poetry, sings or teaches in a classroom or retreat center. He laughs, invites us into our Wonder and our Grief, discusses ideas with his audience then and there, "sermonizes" and apologizes, and then takes it back and laughs some more, and he invites us into thirty-some odd years of his poetry and the great works of his teachers - Yeats and Whitman, Pablo Neruda and William Blake, Rimbaud and Baudelaire, Emerson and Thoreau, Machado and Vallejo, The Beat Poets, Robert Bly and Gary Snyder, The Persian Poets - Kabir, Mirabai, Rumi, Hafez and on and on. He tells endless folk tales from the Sufis and Buddhists, the Gnostics and Hindus and Gypsies and more - and has sometimes performed those tales in surreal ritual theatre style with his Eternal Yes Theatre. He states clearly that the ability to make Art is a human birthright and that it involves primarily - "opening a place in the chest - allowing the River to flow forth."

Chad Hogg is a Lancaster County native who has also lived in Bethlehem and Williamsport before returning home four years ago. He played woodwinds and handbells as a child but was mostly uninterested in popular music until he was introduced to the third wave of ska in 1997, and dove from it into an appreciation for punk rock and heavy metal. He first picked up a bass guitar in 2001 while a student at Ursinus College majoring in computer science and minoring in music and mathematics. After completing a doctoral degree in computer science he has taught at Mansfield University, Ursinus College, King's College, and now Millersville University. He has performed in school and college ensembles, various church-related teams, and several short-lived bands over the years.

In 2019 he was delighted to find three like-minded strangers in the Lancaster area to form Ford The River, a local "dad-punk" band, and to be able to do music as a serious hobby while maintaining a career in another field. Ford The RIver released its debut album, Adult Thoughts, in early 2021, and has been releasing a single each month of 2022. They have upcoming shows at Pilgur Ruh Brewing in Pottsville on May 21, Tellus 360 in Lancaster on May 25, Shovel Head Tavern in Altoon on June 18, the Skid Row Garage Benefit Show at Central Market in York on July 23, Stage On Herr in Harrisburg on August 11, and the Carnival of Chaos 2 at The Church in Lebanon on August 13.

Ruddy Turnstone is the project of songwriter Chris Kulkusky. Chris played bass in The Crossline before moving to Virginia and joining No Fault of Their Own as the lead singer.

After retiring that project, Chris started playing under the name Ruddy Turnstone. Chris has released a handful of singles under the Ruddy Turnstone moniker, a collaborative hip hop EP with New Jersey rapper Phaze, and his debut album, Full Moon Carnival, which is a stripped down, acoustic concept album.

Liam started playing bass in a Lancaster County high school when Primus’ “Tommy the Cat” inspired him to stop pretending to play clarinet and start pretending to slap bass. Luckily, thanks in large part to lessons with professor and consummate bassist Tim Wolfe, Liam learned to tastefully play any genre, at least well enough to not get fired!

This has led him to a still early but successful career of session work and live performance for a huge variety of artists and genres. Not limited to his ’75 Fender Jazz, Liam also plays upright bass in musicals, and six-string bass in his own music. He released a Christmas album performed exclusively on solo bass and voice, and plans to release some new original music this year. Before joining Soul Miners Union, Liam toured with Sun & Rain and shared bills with some of the top names in that scene including Perpetual Groove, Papadosio, and Tauk.

While he still loves the absolutely bombastic creativity of high school idols Les Claypool and Brian Richie, Liam’s biggest influences today are those bass legends who have not only chops, but also restraint. Through studying Marcus Miller, Chuck Rainey, James Jamerson, Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, and so many others, Liam has found his own voice. As the great Ian Martin Allison says, “I have never wanted to be the star; I wanted to be the star’s bass player.”

Nathan Arndt began his journey through music in 2002. Like most artists, he began playing cover songs to learn the craft. As his senior year of high school ended, he developed a proclivity for bass guitar and the youthful urgency to become a screamer for post-punk band: Captain of Compliments. After a 3-year stay in Queens, he returned home and played guitar for a group called The Wayfarer Experiment. Throughout his whole life, he wrote poetry and songs. This skill led him to the position he holds today; singer/songwriter. His style can best be described as acoustic/lyrical.

Currently, he runs the open mic at the Shamrock Cafe in Lancaster, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday. He'll also be hosting at Tellus 360 for the entire month of November, every Monday. You can find information regarding other show dates at his Facebook page or his most recent band page, called "The Picaros." This band was formed with his long-time friend and best man at his upcoming wedding, Matt King. He is also always happy to have fellow improvisational artists join him, which makes for a unique show every time!
