Jameson & Theo:
Jameson Swanagon and Theo Padouvas met while studying music at Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music in 2006. The two reunited in the Bay Area in 2012, and have since been working diligently to shed their music of all unnecessary gestures, stylistic clichés, and virtuosic pretensions with the hope that they may find a music that is both serene and completely personal. The result is a very pleasant, melodic listen that takes the listener into the private world of its practitioners.

Mark Allen-Piccolo:
Haunting, echoing vocals are paired perfectly with his insightful lyrics and soothing stage presence. Check out some of his tunes below. New album coming out soon. Perfect time to catch him.

Hamir Atwal:
The Drummer/Percussionist is a Berklee College of Music graduate. He has performed with the Glimpse Trio, tUneyArDs, Bill Laswell, Joe Lovano, and Ben Goldberg.

Cory & Theo:
Inspired by the music of John Carter and Bobby Bradford, Cory Wright and Theo Padouvas will play in a duo of clarinet and cornet. They'll perform some music by Carter / Bradford as well as some originals.
