Lipbone Redding

Lawrence "Lipbone" Redding is a one-man orchestra who turns story into song. He has humble roots in North Carolina, and after several years in New York City, he began busking in the Manhattan subways and parks. He used these very public places to work on his original material.

Uncompromisingly true to his own voice, Lipbone tells his life-story through his unique music, vocals, guitar and...other stuff. Lipbone has a style that adheres to no style at all. Musical, upbeat and imaginative, sometimes soft and soulful, his story is peppered with vocal trombones and throat-singing birds, fantastic animals and a host of poignant characters.

Lipbone engages the audience as if they are additional band members, and invites them to employ their voices, claps and dance moves for the greater good.
When not on the road making music and friends, Lipbone is artist-in-residence at Oak Grove Retreat in Tarboro, North Carolina.

Chrissi Poland

When Grammy-award winning producer Nile Rodgers called Chrissi Poland on the phone to personally request her in the studio that same day for a recording session, the Massachusetts native was "ready for that fire", she recalls.

Singer, songwriter and a multi-instrumentalist, Poland weaves together the sounds of soul, blues, jazz and pop to create a uniqueness that has elevated her as an artist and linked her with some of the best in the business. A vocalist with such a diverse stylistic range, Chrissi has drawn comparisons from Aretha Franklin to Adele, Joni Mitchell to Prince A touring member of Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame legend Sam Moore's band (Same & Dave) from 2008-2012, Poland also appeared with Bette Midler as an official "Harlette" for Bette's 2014 album release promo tour of "It's The Girls", again exhibiting her vast diversity as a performer. Poland's original songs have appeared on the HBO, NBC, Bravo networks, as well as Netflix. Her song "Possible" has been featured in a Bare Minerals TV campaign in the UK and in Season 2 of Bravo's "Girlfriend's Guide To Divorce". She has toured with and opened for a wide range of artists, including the Grammy-winning Blood, Sweat & Tears, Marc Cohn, and Suzanne Vega. Currently splits her time between touring with Grammy- winning soul singer Michael Bolton as his duet partner and writing/recording/producing from her home studio. With four solo albums, three EP's and a slew of singles released, Poland will be releasing singles and EP's throughout 2021.

In a recent review, John Barry of The Poughkeepsie Journal writes: "She crafts original tunes that harness soul; rhythm and blues; and rock. And she wraps it all up in reflective lyrics that give the music thrust and momentum, without sacrificing any tenderness."
