Event Details
Dubbed “the Saxtress” after the title of her debut record, Pamela Williams is undoubtedly one of the most popular performers on today’s smooth jazz scene. However, we’ve long preferred to refer to Ms. Williams affectionately as the first lady of sax!! Although she established her solo career in LA, Williams’ molded her musical identity during her youth. Her talents were nurtured by the rich musical heritage of Philadelphia. One of her earliest influences was the late great Grover Washington Jr. whose cutting-edge blend of styles first inspired Williams with an interest in jazz. Pamela tours the world electrifying audiences with her dynamic sound and captivating stage presence.
Pamela Williams has toured extensively with Patti LaBelle and Teena Marie. Williams has also worked with Babyface, Chante Moore, Sheila E., the Ohio Players and has appeared in a variety of videos by artists ranging from soul veteran Barry White (“Come On”) to rapper/actress Queen Latifah (“Hard Times”). She’s recently been on the same bill as a solo featured artist with John Legend, Toni Braxton, Eric Benet, George Benson, to name a few. Pamela Williams is multi-talented recording artist, composer, and producer who plays flute and piano in addition to the saxophone.
She has written and produced songs for the late Teena Marie. She has also produced a gospel project for an upcoming vocalist. Williams made her solo debut in 1996 with The Saxtress, an album that immediately brought her name into the limelight. The project peaked within the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album top 10 and remained on the chart for full five months while also earning her the title of Best Female Contemporary Jazz Artist of the Year. On that release and on each of her subsequent projects, Williams has continued to exhibit a stylish blend of flavors, from Latin & jazz, Funk, to R&B, hip-hop and house.
Pamela Williams has 10 CDs to her credit. She presently tours around the world.

Event Details
Albert Lee is a Grammy Award-winning British guitarist and multiple recipient of Guitar Player Magazine’s “Best Country Guitarist” who is celebrated by fans and musicians the world over for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique. Lee has worked both in the studio and on tour with many notable musicians from a wide range of genres including ERIC CLAPTON, the EVERLY BROTHERS, BILL WYMAN, EMMYLOU HARRIS, JOE COCKER, JACKSON BROWNE, ROSANNE CASH, and more. In 2002, he appeared on stage at the Concert for George, celebrating the life and music of Beatle George Harrison.
Albert is touring the USA, Canada and England in 2024 and 2025 celebrating the release of his new album, LAY IT DOWN. Recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London in March 2024, LAY IT DOWN is a tribute to some of Albert’s favorite artists and biggest inspirations.
From Mark Knopfler’s blistering Setting Me Up to Jimmy Webb’s soaring piano ballad Too Young To Die, to The Everly Brothers’ storming hit The Price Of Love, Albert’s latest album sees his triumphant return to the studio, recording live, as one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Lee started his music career at a very early age in England. With the likes of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and the Everly Brothers on the radio, Albert took to playing all over London in bars and church halls. In the mid to late 60s, a time of wah-wah pedals and distortion with Jimmy Hendrix and Eric Clapton fronting the music scene, Albert had his first taste of commercial success playing with Chris Farlowe and The Thunderbirds. Albert soon found his favored guitar of choice, the Fender Telecaster, (while everyone else was playing Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster), and along with this he discovered his love for country music.
Traveling back and forth between Los Angeles and the U.K., Albert worked with the likes of “A Poet and a One Man Band” with future Fairport Convention guitarist Jerry Donahue before joining ‘The Crickets,’ with whom he recorded and toured. ‘Poet And The One Man Band’ eventually evolved into ‘Heads Hands & Feet’ with whom Albert enjoyed some commercial success, most notably in the U.K. Albert eventually got to meet and work with his idols, the Everly Brothers, playing with Don as lead guitarist and harmony singer in his touring band.
In the mid-70s, Albert joined Joe Cocker’s band, which led him to an opportunity to tour with Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band. With the help of Emmylou’s husband and producer, Brian Ahearn alongside The Hot Band, Albert recorded his first solo album, ‘Hiding’ (1979).
Then came touring and a series of collaborations with long-time friend Eric Clapton that spanned five years and included recording the albums “Another Ticket”, “Money and Cigarettes” and the double live set, “Just One Night,” recorded at Budokan in 1979.
On September 23, 1983, the Everly Brothers played their reunion concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall, and Albert was on hand as the guitarist hand-picked and agreed to by both brothers. He continued that role, touring and recording with them for over 25 years.
Albert continued to play on the road, working with a variety of artists and bands including Rosanne Cash, and eventually English pedal steel guitarist Gerry Hogan, who invited Albert to front his band ‘Hogan’s Heroes.’ This was the start of something both extremely different but hugely enjoyable for Albert, who at first was somewhat nervous about leading a band for the first time, but soon found his feet, and in turn, great success with the group.
Albert has been awarded two Grammys for “Best Country Instrumental Performance” in his illustrious career. In 2002, for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown,” from the album “Earl Scruggs & Friends,” and again in 2009 for his work on Brad Paisley’s track “Cluster Pluck.” He also received nominations for tracks on three of his solo albums. Lee has received many other awards as a guitarist, winning Guitar Player Magazine’s “Best Country Guitarist” five consecutive times.
Albert Lee is known within the music industry for his speed of playing and his technical virtuosity but is also one of the most melodic players. He’s often referred to as “the guitar player’s guitar player.” His song “Country Boy” helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players and was later to become a #1 hit for multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs. In the early 2000s, Albert toured regularly with Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings. Sugar Hill Records released Albert’s solo efforts, “Heartbreak Hill” in 2003 and “Road Runner” in 2006. In 2011, a summer jaunt with guitarist John Jorgenson prompted Albert to form his own U.S. band for the very first time, and to this day, he maintains a robust solo career and continues to tour with his great band, selling out venues from coast to coast and overseas.

Event Details
Appalachian Road Show is a visionary acoustic ensemble, bringing new-generation interpretations of traditional Americana, bluegrass and folk songs, as well as offering innovative original music, all presented with a common thread tied directly to the heart of the Appalachian regions of the United States. GRAMMY-nominated banjoist Barry Abernathy, joins forces with GRAMMY-winning fiddler Jim VanCleve, fresh off of his recent stint touring with multi-platinum country artist Josh Turner, as well as esteemed vocalist and mandolinist Darrell Webb, who has recorded and toured with Dolly Parton and Rhonda Vincent, among many others. The group also includes 26-year-old “old soul” guitarist Zeb Snyder, whose fierce and versatile playing recalls Doc Watson and Norman Blake as readily as it does Duane Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
“With this group, we want to bring to light the culture and lifestyle of the Appalachian music we grew up in,” says Abernathy.
“We immersed ourselves in our native culture by way of sound and further educated ourselves to our own roots, those which are found all throughout the Appalachian music we grew up with,” says VanCleve. Ready to share its authentic and fresh approach with the public, the band went into the studio in the summer of 2018 and recorded its debut album, Appalachian Road Show. The project landed three multi-week number one songs on Bluegrass Today Weekly Airplay charts and garnered the band a New Artist of the Year nomination and Song of the Year nomination (“Dance Dance Dance”) at the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Awards.
Appalachian Road Show invites us to come and sit a spell on its porch as the band shares its dynamic musicianship through songs and stories emanating from the mountains and hollers of North Carolina and Virginia, to the coal mines of West Virginia and Kentucky. On its eponymous debut album, the band delivers powerful songs that range from the gospel-esque “I Am Just a Pilgrim” and “Little Black Train,” to the reeling, kick-up-your-heels “Dance, Dance, Dance,” to the ballad of love and loss “Anna Lee.” “All of these songs came from the Appalachian mountains and from the coal mining regions of Appalachia,” says Abernathy. “They confront topics such as logging, coal mining, trains, a sweetheart that took off, and so on. There’s something universal in the music and its expressed themes. There’s something for everyone.”
Abernathy, VanCleve, and Webb know it well as they were each born and raised in Appalachia. “I was 10 or 11 when I started singing in church,” says Abernathy, who grew up near the head of the Appalachian Trail in northern Georgia. His grandmother had a banjo, and despite being born with only one finger on his noting hand, he knew at the young age of 14 that he wanted to learn to play that banjo and Appalachian music. VanCleve, a North Carolinian by way of Florida, was gifted his first fiddle when he was six. His grandfather, a preacher, played acoustic music, as did his aunt, uncle, and father. By the age of twelve, VanCleve and his father were travelling all over the mountains of North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia, attending dozens of fiddle contests, bluegrass festivals, and old-time music festivals. Webb grew up in the coal mining country of West Virginia where he mastered old-time and bluegrass music through the influence of his father, a coal miner and bluegrass musician who passed away from black lung – an emotional topic which Appalachian Road Show tackles in its music.
“Appalachian music and its stories have been passed down to us, and we’re now passing our own interpretations of this to a new generation, while also shedding a reverent light on this culture,” says Abernathy. “We want to not only keep these traditions alive, but also honor the strong and dedicated individuals who made lives in the mountains over the past 200 years. Appalachian Road Show is meant to be more of a cultural experience rather than simply just a collection of songs. If we were to eventually be viewed as unofficial ambassadors of Appalachian culture, that would be an honor.”
With a full schedule of tour dates lined up and new music already in the works, Appalachian Road Show has big plans for the future. Abernathy, VanCleve, and Webb intend for Appalachian Road Show to become much more than just a concert, but to eventually grow into a full-on production and immersive experience, offering interpretations of culturally appropriate tunes, telling the stories behind the songs, offering visuals which support the emotional content of the songs, as well as offering new original songs which are born out of the emotion and spirit of traditional Appalachian music.
For now, Appalachian Road Show invites us into the music and stories of Appalachia’s culturally-rich heritage. As they say, “It’s part of who we are. It’s natural for us. It is authentic. This music is so vibrant, and it has its own vitality and its own life, and we mean to carry that forward.”

Event Details
Keith Washington is an American R&B vocalist from Detroit, Michigan who recorded the hit single “Kissing You” in 1991. The song was also used as background music for the ABC television soap opera General Hospital. “Kissing You” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal Performance Male and won a 1992 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single – Male. The song also topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for one week.
Washington recorded a duet with Kylie Minogue, their co-composition “If You Were with Me Now” in 1991 (on PWL Records) which reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and number 23 in Minogue’s native Australia.
Washington branched out in a few acting roles. He starred as himself on the series Martin in an episode called “A Woman with a Past” singing a duet with Tisha Campbell-Martin entitled “The Closer I Get to You” a classic ballad performed and made famous in 1978 by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. In addition, Keith had a brief role in the TV soap opera General Hospital as Keith Jasper. He also had a brief role in John Singleton’s Poetic Justice, starring Janet Jackson, as a hairdresser named Dexter.
Washington’s first marriage to Marsha Jenkins ended in divorce and resulted in her writing a tell-all book titled The Other Side of Through, which is a fictional account based on Jenkins’ marriage to Washington and her experiences with the singer’s marital infidelities. In June 2009, Washington married his longtime girlfriend, Stephanie Grimes, who is general sales manager for WGPR-FM 107.5 in Detroit. He also revealed his plans to release a new album. Washington has since branched out into radio himself, as he now hosts the nighttime “Slow Jams” show “Kisses After Dark” on Detroit radio station WDMK-FM 105.9 (Kiss-FM).
Currently Keith is touring all The City Wineries and doing major concerts all over the World!

“Charlottesville’s Love Canon takes ’80s hits and spins them into funky bluegrass tunes full of peppy mandolin and singing fiddles”. – The Washington Post
Sprouting from the musical foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville, Virginia’s LOVE CANON bring their own raucous blend of bluegrass to the masses. Their most recent release, Cover Story debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart with its ingenious acoustic renditions of classic hits from the 80s and 90s from the likes of Peter Gabriel, Billy Joel, Depeche Mode, and Paul Simon. Style Weekly writes, “LOVE CANON doesn’t cover the music of the 80s as much as kidnap it and take it on a bluegrass-tinged joyride…refreshing and extending the originals with affectionate humor and effortless virtuosity.” The songs in Cover Story become a vehicle for the band to demonstrate their prowess through impressive translations of electric-tinged pop tunes into modern day acoustic music. Using bluegrass instrumentation to imitate processed electronic sounds, they’ve achieved a sonic effect that is somehow new and different, but yet still satisfyingly similar to the songs we know and love.
LOVE CANON features the wide-ranging vocal stylings of lead singer and guitarist Jesse Harper and Darrell Muller holding down the low-end on standup bass (both former members of Old School Freight Train), matched with banjo master Adam Larrabee, mandolin pickin’ by Andy Thacker, and the slick sounds of resonator guitar king Jay Starling on the Beard MA-6. The group and its individual members have shared the stage and studio with many notable artists over the years including Keb Mo, Jason Mraz, Bruce Hornsby, Warren Haynes, Josh Ritter, Ricky Skaggs, Merle Haggard, David Grisman, KD Lang, Emmylou Harris, Sara Bareilles, John C. Reilly, Madeleine Peyroux, Colbie Caillat, and many others.

As a young talented singer, he recorded twelve songs as a heartfelt gift for his parents’ 50th anniversary, a decision that would lead to his breakout 1992 album “Danny Boy”.
John’s journey as an artist boasts 30 full recordings, platinum sales certifications and numerous Juno award nominations.
His remarkable odyssey has even granted him an audience with five U.S. presidents.
Beyond personal triumphs, McDermott’s altruism shines.
Honored with the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor Society’s Bob Hope award and a Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, he has also dedicated himself to raising $3.6 million to revitalize the K-Wing Veterans Centre at Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital.

Event Details
When Loose Ends emerged out of the London soul underground in 1980 with the single “In the Sky,” the group was so far ahead of its time that today, in 2016, its sound is as refreshing and vibrant as ever. Their vibe signaled the dawning of a new age of synthesizer and rhythm machine-driven grooves, channeling the Islands and the lushest, jazziest of soul – as much of a splash down into Caribbean Sea as the Milky Way. With international career defining hits such as “Hanging On A String (Contemplating),” “Choose Me (Rescue Me),” “You Can’t Stop The Rain,” “A Little Spice,” “Slow Down,” “Stay a Little While Child,” “Watching You” and a delicious cover of Philly Soul maestro Dexter Wansel’s “The Sweetest Pain,” Loose Ends defined a refined approach to sexy soulful sounds – from the club floor to the Quiet Storm.
Today, original lead vocalist/songwriter Jane Eugene leads a United States-based edition of Loose Ends that is carrying the blue-flame torch with pride and much success. Under Jane’s leadership, Loose Ends is wowing audiences in several capacities. So relevant yet nostalgic, fluid yet flexible is their sound that Loose Ends is compatible enough to share sold out bills with classic soul legends such as Isley Brothers, Charlie Wilson, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, the Whispers and Parliament-Funkadelic, current hit-makers JOE, Faith Evans and Leelah James, Smooth Jazz wind downs with Roy Ayers, Brian Culbertson and Will Downing, and, of course, their `80s techno-soul peers such as the S.O.S. Band, Midnight Star and Evelyn “Champagne” King. Loose Ends and its infectious international sound sit comfortably in the middle of all these styles and generations. This now classic band in its own right connects the dots to all top-shelf Soul music, creating a vibration that reverberates within a listener with 360 degree intensity..
“Even though we recorded our biggest hits in Philly with producer Nick Martinelli who I adore, America never got to see much of us in our `80s heyday because we worked so steadily in our home base overseas,” Jane shares. “Today, there is always a great deal of interest and curiosity when fans see our name on a concert bill. 35 years in and counting, Loose Ends is still in the game and steady gaining ground!” The proof is in Loose Ends performing to knocked-out audiences at B.B. King’s in New York, the Capitol Jazz Festival in Washington, D.C., Pat Williams’ “Soul Food Festival” down south, the “L.A. Soul Fest,” Chene Park in Detroit, Chicago Winery and Yoshi’s in San Francisco. Wherever party people are ready for the sophisticated get down, Loose Ends is ready to rock their world.
Much more than just three principle front members singin’ and rockin’ center stage, Loose Ends is a full-service band with three powerhouse background singers. Loose Ends is lead singers Jane Eugene and Jeff Robinson, emcee Paul Santo, guitarist/musical director Craig T. Cooper, keyboardist Aya Iwata, bassist Keith Eaddy, drummer Cory Mason, percussionist Leroy “Boogie” Grier, support singers Dominique Karan, Waylynn Pitts and Robert Gee, and sound engineer Derrick Rodgers. This edition of Loose Ends has been performing together with little switch-up for the last 15 years so their show is tight, punchy and fully satisfying – capturing the techno essence of the band’s signature sound with the fluidity and excitement of live instrumentation.
Jane Eugene occasionally takes part in reunion activities with original Loose Ends trio member Steve Nichol. However, with Loose Ends featuring Jane Eugene (managed by David Lombard of En Vogue and Johnny Gill renown), she is ready to take on the world…and offers are pouring in from around the globe!
“Being out there on all those stages watchin’-watchin’ audiences react when we drop down into one of our hits has given me and the band new life,” Jane exclaims.
“When fans come to my show, they will hear the songs the way they remember them, sing along, reminisce and leave excited with happiness in their heart.”
