- Description:
- Alexis Babini is a songwriter and performer who is well known for his playful stage presence and staggering songwriting skill. Most often appearing with an acoustic guitar and a single microphone, he can sometimes be sighted behind a piano or keyboard. His songwriting is a diverse blend of modern day pop/rock, with an occasional nod to folk classics. Most often joyous and funky with his songs, he always expresses his sensitive side and can occasionally be heard revealing his penchant for Jazz stylings. The Northeastern Performer Magazine describes Alexis’ as "fills the audience’s ears with lyrics of love,flirting, and a little heartbreak. His song "High Hopes" had all the women in the room sneaking up to the dance floor of Club Pure in the Roxy. As Alexis left the stage, the room had a good buzz starting." While the musical fashion attributed to Alexis is no doubt well-received, it is most often recognized for its individuality. His musical ability enables him to experiment and successfully blend many styles, tempos, and subjects. The lyrics, have reached numerous fans, and span from playful and humorous in "Let it Shine", to the most serious and pensive in "A Love Song". Stylistically, the songs take their inspiration from varying sources ranging anywhere from Ryan Adams to Michael Jackson and everywhere in between. However, no matter what the mood, Alexis will always be seen wearing a smile and always entertaining his fans. Alexis has also taken his act to television and radio, appearing as the special guest for "All About Arts" at local Boston Neighborhood Network Television, and being the featured artist for college held programs such as Boston University’s channel 10 "BU Tonight". Also, recently Alexis was a recipient of Berklee’s Performer Songwriter Award. Alexis’ personable demeanor on- and off-stage has long been a trademark of his music, and he has therefore created a loyal fan base that he refers to as his friends instead of his fans. Therefore, it is no surprise that his current hometown of Boston is plastered from one end to the other with stickers that read "Alexis Babini loves you". Rare is there a night when Alexis isn’t appearing live and making new friends.

- Description:
- Together with longtime friend and guitarist Brian Minisce, Becky Chace writes, performs, and records genre-defying, soulful music which twists and turns through the varied paths of life leaving their listeners feeling connected to the bigger picture through the window of their work. Their music has the sadness and swing of alt-country and blues ala Lucinda Williams, but can kick into the rock bravado of rock and pop ala Bruce Springsteen and drop into the lonely despair of a folk song all in one set. Chosen Best Local Female Vocalist 5 times in 6 years (2000-2003, 2005) by the readers of the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll, Becky has been said to have "the voice of an angel who just got her heart ripped out by the devil." - The New Haven Advocate Her CDs have received critical acclaim from publications including The Boston Globe who called Chace’s Take Your Shot "a stunning collection of original roots rock, folk, and blues." Chace has opened for such national acts as Joan Jett, America, Judi Collins, The Gin Blossoms, Better Than Ezra, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Littlefeat, Delbert McClinton, and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to name a few and is "arguably hands-down one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters to come out of the Rhode Island area." Motif Magazine Becky believes that music should be used as a tool to bring people together. Chace proves genres and styles don’t matter as long as the singer expresses herself with passion. Having sold over 8,000 plus copies of her independently released CDs, it is obvious that her fans believe this passion comes across on CD as well. In 2007, Becky released 2 CDs, “A River Under Me,” her seventh independent release and "The Best of Me," a collection of her best work as well as previously unreleased material. You can find all 87 of her published original songs on her website for download. In 2008, Becky and Brian collaborated with filmmaker Rachel Ferro to make a video for their song Some Time. The video premieres February 09. Becky and Brian continue to tour New England and beyond. Recently they’ve been collaborating with RI music scene staples John Amitrano (bass guitar) and Mike D’Albergaria (drums). Together the foursome are playing out mixing originals with some interesting choice covers. They’re having a blast and finding audiences extremely supportive of the new outfit. Becky also plays with the seven piece Neil Young Tribute band Forever Young which also includes Amitrano on bass.

- Description:
- Seth Adam creates compelling, accessible, timeless rock music with honest lyrics. With influences ranging from Counting Crows, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, his songs demonstrate a deft pop-sensibility and a compelling vulnerability which continue to touch an ever-growing and remarkably diverse fan base. A critical element in Seth Adam’s growing popularity has been the passion and impact of the group’s live performances. Seth Adam, the former frontman and songwriter for the Connecticut-based band Green Inside, has assembled a crack line-up of seasoned musicians that bring color from a wide spectrum of musical genres. These band members, fluent in the language of jazz, R&B, hard rock, alt-country, and classic pop, propel the live show and give a modern and forceful lift to Adam’s vintage musical vision. This assemblage (Seth Adam - vocals, acoustic and electric guitar; Gerry Giaimo - lead guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals; Anthony Bianco - drums; and Fred DiLeone Piano Bass, Hammond, Rhodes and Wurlitzer) is a melting pot of talent, a singular unit with a common stride, creating timeless pop-rock music in both the American and British traditions. Having opened for artists such as Will Hoge, Alexa Ray Joel, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers and Chris Barron (formerly of The Spin Doctors), and through regular performances throughout the Northeast, Seth Adam and his band have put together a show of amazing energy. These live offerings continue to convert the most unattached, jaded listener into rock & roll believers with liberal doses of brawny electric guitar and sensitive acoustic forays, flooded with sweat and emotion. It is no wonder that Seth Adam’s performance caused FoxNews.com’s Roger Friedman to proclaim, "Adam’s appearance last night in New York was a rock revelation. The Connecticut kid may be rock’s next Matchbox Twenty, or more." With his previous band, Green Inside, Seth recorded 3 EPs and one full-length recording titled Left At The Prom, which garnered adds on over 125 college and AAA radio stations nationwide in 2005. In addition, Seth Adam has performed at larger festivals such as the SoNo Arts Celebration in South Norwalk CT; the Clearwater Festival in Asbury Park NJ; the Block Island Music Festival in Block Island RI; and was the winner of the 2004 Clear Channel-sponsored Mohegan Sun Sizzling Summer Showdown (a regional band competition). In 2007, Seth’s song "Get Out" was licensed to Volkswagen for their 2007 Sights and Sounds campaign. Currently, Seth is promoting his first full-length studio album, Where You Come From. The album was released in April 2008 under the Horizon Music Group label and is distributed through Select-O-Hits. Besides regularly performing solo acoustic and full band electric shows throughout the Northeast, Seth and company are also promoting Where You Come From at AAA radio stations throughout the U.S.
