The Charles Lewis Quintet Featuring Alice Tatum
Talent, taste, and the tenacity to keep their music playing.
Matt Alber
That he can articulate shared emotions so clearly elevates him from niche gay musician to universal prophet.
Marlene VerPlanck
Warm timbre, crisp diction, and phrasing that never allows rhyming sequences to cloy.
Aisha de Haas, Capathia Jenkins, Billy Stritch
Sass, wicked interpretations and, of course, some mean vocals.
Joanne Tatham & Sean Harkness
The voice and guitar of Joanne Tatham and Sean Harkness (respectively) paired beautifully together.
