Hailed as "madly original...playful, mischievous, and innocent all at once," singer-songwriter and violinist Diane Perry's music blends folk, funk, classical and jazz. Whether improvising hot licks, acting out her "murder mambo," or tenderly relating a song of lost love, her rich violin tone, expressive alto voice, and exuberant stage presence can elicit both tears and laughter. Her debut album Out Of My Dreams and upcoming recording Hand Made feature originals as well as her "derangements" of familiar tunes. https://www.dianeperryfolk.com/

Frank Critelli is a singer songwriter and environmental artist from Connecticut. He curates a popular concert series, and cohost a radio show highlighting local music. “Anchoring all of it is Critelli’s voice — not just his singing voice, but his songwriting voice, which can range from simple and direct to convoluted and poetic in the span of a single verse. Critelli is a seasoned hand, but he is as inspired as ever.” - Brian Slattery, New Haven Independent
