Natalia Bonfini
A blues musician at her core, Natalia's natural storytelling ability and powerhouse vocals will take you on a journey. An award winning songwriter, her single “Before” won the New England Songwriters Competition and received honorable mention in SongDoor’s International Competition. The release of her EP, "Beyond the Broken Pieces", followed shortly after, offering an intimate peak into love, heartbreak, and the journey to self discovery.
A top 50 finalist on American Idol’s 20th season, Natalia has performed alongside national acts like fellow idol winners David Cook and Crystal Bowersox, Grammy nominee Allen Stone, Blues Legend Joe Louis Walker, and the boss himself Bruce Springsteen
With a sound reminiscent of Amy Winehouse or Janis Joplin, and commanding lyrics such as those of Alanis Morissette, Natalia comes alive on stage and is a must-see!

The Sarah Burrill Band
Sarah brings to her music and performance a depth and passion that is nothing short of contagious. Whether she is belting out a blues, caressing the melody of a delicate love song, encouraging social consciousness and change or singing about her pajamas, it is an experience that inspires courage, strength and hope. She does all of this while creating atmosphere of playfulness and spontaneity that is disarming and uniquely Sarah. It takes no time at all to understand she is here to have fun and brings her audience right along with her. - Neale Eckstein
