A range of favorites sung in a velvety, clear voice with guitar and lap dulcimer. Can focus on one genre, such as Celtic or maritime, or do a variety of folk music, including original songs, plus pop, blues, and standards from the American Songbook (Summertime, Autumn Leaves, etc.). Can entertain all ages; sing-alongs a specialty. Ideal for weddings, both for the ceremony and at cocktail hour. Diane also presents programs combining music and history, looking at various eras through the music enjoyed at the time. She performs in period clothing and plays instruments of the day. Eras include Colonial America, the Revolutionary War, and the Civil War. For the holidays, Diane can do a program of secular carols, or "A Victorian Christmas" in which she explores the roots of the familiar songs we sing each December. For example, "Jingle Bells" originally had a much more athletic melody that the one we use today!

Keith’s BIO Keith David Gittens-Jones (artist name Phantom Electric Ghost) is 49 years old. He is a graduate of Bowdoin College, Maine Class of 1990. Music is his passion. Keith created an impressive body of work over the past three decades. He started playing music when he was 16 in his parents’ basement with his younger brother and friends. In earlier years, Keith learned to read music and to play the Clarinet. However, his instrument of choice was the Casio CZ101. Many of his earlier pieces were created on the Casio. In the past, he used a Korg sequencer and Roland D5 in combination with a Tascam 4 track recorder. Today he works on a Roland Juno GI, JDXI and Beat Step Pro and utilizes SoundCloud to share his distinctive creations. Keith describes his unique compositions as “Expansive Sound Experiments” or “non-vocal instrumental sound scales” (sound paintings). His love of music was inherited from his late grandfather who was a coal miner in the mountains of West Virginia. To pass the time grandpa played music. He was a self-taught musician who had the ability to master any instrument he touched. He played the banjo, guitar and amongst others. Keith was inspired by his grandfather’s story and was fortunate to spend time with him, during his childhood, before he died. Keith credits his affinity for music to his grandpa. He taught himself how to play the keyboard and built upon what he learned about music from middle school. In the late 90s, Keith contracted a Sarcoma level three Cancer. He was hospitalized and operated on immediately. Complications arose after the operation. After a difficult and trying recovery Keith decided he would live his life doing the things he loved. Unable to move from his bed, during the long days of his convalescence, he willed himself back to good health. Keith was an avid mountain biker before his illness so he decided to build the bike of his dreams from his sick bed. He ordered each piece for his project through the mail. As the parts came in, he configured his dream bike. By the time the bike was completed Keith was sitting up in bed. A few weeks later he rode on Mount Snow, Vermont. He bought himself back from the edge through sheer will power, courage and perseverance. Keith still owns his trusty mountain bike and enjoys trekking through mountain bike paths, in his hometown, whenever he finds time. He was declared free of the Sarcoma in 2002. Keith overcame overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable barriers in his life. However, on a daily basis, he continues to triumph and plow through. He uses his love of music to transverse each and every obstacle that presents itself just like he used the creation of his mountain bike to help him in his recovery from cancer. He plays and creates music because he has a deep love and appreciation for the art. Keith is a student and ardent collector of many genres ranging from old school to rap and pop. His goal is to continue sharing his compositions to diverse audiences worldwide. He hopes other emerging artists will be inspired and motivated by his works and that, they too, will move beyond their own barriers to create music for the joy of it. Keith loves listening to music by his favorite artists like Prince, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Yes. He lives with his wife Claire and 15 year old daughter Amaranthia Sepia in Concord, New Hampshire. Keith works as an IT Business Analyst in Cambridge MA.

I've been a pianist for about 13 years, playing classical pieces from the start, and subsequently branched into other genres like rock, progressive, pop and new age. I have a repertoire of popular songs from Oldies to contemporary singers like Bruno mars and Ed Sheeran, jazz standards, as well as movie soundtracks. I do my own piano renditions of them, often incorporating jazz and classical elements and transforming them into soothing interpretations. I'm also a composer, and I compose new age solo piano pieces. I'll be ideal to play at a lounge bar, hotel reception or wedding reception.

Charming, intuitive and wise for his age singer, rapper and songwriter , the now twenty three year old, Christopher "Andreas" Carrion, creates thought provoking and relatable music that gives off the impression that every song was based off every fan’s own life encounters. While being praised for his “unique tone,” “stupendous instrumental selection,” and his “harmonious, smooth flow” as quoted by listeners worldwide he also respectfully and admirably distances himself from the common “Hip-Hop and R&B stereotypes,” by avoiding saturated topics, not degrading others and using no profanity, this is what exactly proves how Andreas works hard to put his own spin on each song whether it’s about friendship, love, life or any other situation the everyday young adult goes through, the evidence is there that he has been nothing short of “spot-on” with any song venue he takes on and shares. Andreas began investing his life into music during his early teenage years age and has been involved in a small but blossoming and upcoming music scene in Nashua, New Hampshire which is just outside the city of Boston, since 2011. There is no question that 2013 showed the beginning of how much Andreas has to offer and that his music has been doing what is was supposed to be. Andreas was contacted then became a featured artist on the popular hip-hop and online based website, WWS Magazine, for his fan favorite single “Word Out” and furthermore secured radio play on college radio stations, and Atlanta based FM radio station “Pharaoshus,” with the release of his most successful song yet, “Make That Body Sing” which brought in top tier fans and created more music outlets for the rising artist. He has since accepted and excelled in his opportunities as an opening artist for Rob Base, best known for his hit single, “It Takes Two,” Kaya Jones, (formally of The PussyCat Dolls) and PlayBoy Bunny “DJ Brit Star” where he brought his own crowds of fans ranging from fifty to a hundred plus. In April of 2015, Andreas was surprisingly chosen to perform in the Battle of The Bands Global Contest at The Hard Rock Cafe in Boston where he was not just the only solo artist performing but the only hip-hop artist as well. He secured first place victories in the first round with the help of his full engaging crowd but for his voice and stage presence as well. Andreas fell to second in the final rounds but still marked it as a victory due to all the new fans gained, and the tremendous feedback and experience acquired during this tour. However, along with his stellar performances Andreas has solely reached milestones and accomplishments that validates just how dedicated he is to his career. Andreas teamed up with the “Grammy Nominated," SureFire Creative Studios in February 2014 and together they have sky rocketed Andreas’s career with professional quality music releases and networking avenues. 2015’s success showed why 2016 presents even more promise with releases of the hit single, “Validation” and fan favorites like “City Lights” and “No Clue.” Nonetheless there is nothing this humble and level headed artist will not allow himself to achieve. Andreas is often quoted for saying, “If they can do it, Why can’t I?” And that is the exact type of attitude that has presented the soon to be major artist, many achievements and opportunities that have benefited his career in which will only continue to be the driving force that will continue to let Andreas, thrive in the music industry.

Arms and Sleepers started one night in the back of an ambulance destined for Hampton Road in Boston's South Side. In an alleyway a man was bleeding with a cassette player in hand, the play button still on. What sounded like recordings of a gospel choir blared from the tin speaker while down the street, a jazz band could be heard. The man was dying. He dropped the cassette player on the cement and closed his eyes, the sound carrying through the air into his ears for one last time. Though this moment in time died with him, his cassette lived on—and Arms and Sleepers was born. Bliss Was It In That Dawn To Be Alive (Fake Chapter Records) is Arms and Sleepers' first full-length release. Varying configurations of rich, brassy textures, choppy beats and ethereal vocals are set atop thick, ambient undercurrents. The overall yield is an engaging, subterranean pulse driven by amorphous low-end frequencies. Comprised of Max Lewis (programming, keyboards) and Mirza Ramic (bass, keyboards), Arms and Sleepers is more than music, as performance is combined with visuals by talented Boston artist Dado Ramadani. This visual extension is conceived through collaboration between Dado and the band members. Ideas and sketches of the subject and meaning of each song are labored until the right images are created. The visuals are put together and synchronized perfectly with the rhythm of each song, providing the audience with a complete audio and visual experience.

Christa Gniadek had a long day busking on Newbury Street in Boston some years ago. It was summer and it was warm, and she took a short break after singing for longer than most would. She was about to take her guitar strap off when someone ran up, and took off with everything she spent all day earning: she was robbed. Years later, you will find her still taking the time to return to the scene of the crime with that same guitar, significantly longer hair, an abundance of new songs and a whole new attitude. Christa Gniadek is remarkably resilient, a quality that is clear in her persistence and dedication as a recording artist for over half a decade. Forever keen on creating a body of work, her next album “Hard Summer”, due in 2016 and completely funded by her fans, naturally embodies her evolution into a more pop, vocal-centered and single-oriented sonic landscape that still houses her uniquely strong emotional fingerprint. In the last year, Gniadek has bridged the gap between the day-to-day fiery, passionate side of her personality - the side that until now didn't always make it to the stage - and injecting that intensity, that grit, into her songwriting. This has elevated her new album and live show to a level even she was surprised by. She will tell you her recent creations, her songs, were the catalysts for pushing her into this new territory of her strong voice and attitude. Gniadek has become quite a force and looks forward to hitting the road again in May 2016 to get the word out about her new album. Keep an eye out, because you might even catch her busking on the streets in your own hometown. Though if you look closely you may see her intermittently pruning her tip jar: ever mindful of the pain of the past, but accepting it - owning it - shedding her all-too-human naiveté, and replacing it with wisdom, strength, and drive.
