His latest album is Gershwin Country, featuring duets with Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and other country stars.

She was recently seen on NBC’s hit show New Amsterdam and starred Off-Broadway in the Irish Repertory Theater’s virtual holiday production Meet Me in St. Louis.

Nicole Henry is one of the jazz world's most acclaimed performers, possessing a potent combination of dynamic vocal abilities, impeccable phrasing and powerful emotional resonance.

Aubrey Logan is a singer. She’s a trombone player. She’s a songwriter. She’s a performer. It would have been a lot easier if she had just picked one. But she’s never been one to be pigeonholed. She lives her life outside the box and that makes her difficult to define. And that’s OK with her, because she purposely defies definition. Her Top 5 debut album in 2017 helped establish her as one of the premier young singer-instrumentalists in the country. Her participation in Dave Koz’ #1 album, Summer Horns, in 2018 helped cement her position. But it was her own #1 album in 2019 that really helped Aubrey Logan become a household name with music aficionados around the world.
Anthony Nunziata, the Brooklyn-born tenor, has been dubbed "America's new romantic singing sensation." As a Nashville-based singer and songwriter, he brings his soulful voice to classic jazz, pop standards, classical crossover and his timeless original music. He has performed more than 400 concerts over the past decade, headlining major performing arts centers, theaters, symphony concert halls, jazz clubs and private events across the country and around the world. Anthony recently co-headlined Carnegie Hall for two sold-out concerts with the New York Pops Symphony Orchestra and appeared in the Netflix film opposite Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss. 15
