Cimarrones is one of the most sought after bomba and plena ensembles in New Jersey. Cimarrones has performed and instructed in very diverse venues. One of the reasons that Cimarrones is so well sought out is their ability to engage the audience, create high energy and educate them at the same time.

Verdict has been rocking the house from venues as varied as the fabled Stone Pony in Asbury Park to the NFL Owners Meeting at the Super Bowl in Miami. Their polished energy has been fed from the wide-ranging experiences of jamming with Chaka Khan and Stevie Wonder (what a surreal moment to have Johnny whispering the lyrics to Marley’s “Waiting in Vain” in Stevie’s ear since he didn’t know the second verse by heart), to performing “Stir it Up” and Chick Corea’s “Spain” with Prince Ali of Iran sitting in on drums.

De Tierra Caliente: A Latin fusion band whose music fills the air with bright colors and gets everybody up and dancing. At a show you can't help but heat up as intoxicating songs in Spanish, English and Portuguese sing out the bright colors and familial warmth of a South American kitchen.

The Gotham Easy is a hot jazz band born on the mean streets of NYC. While being completely at ease playing classic standards in the time-honored New Orleans tradition, the band brings a brash vitality to music that is all too often treated as a delicate museum piece.

Kyle Lacy is a singer and multi-instrumentalist originally from Atlanta Georgia and was born in 1990. However, his time machine made a quick refuel stop in 1956 and he was immediately infected with the DNA that gave birth to rock ‘n’ roll. Try as he could to escape those roots, he only made stops for the soul of Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin, the soul folk of Van Morrison, and the swing of Brian Setzer. He and his band deliver the kind of rock ‘n’ roll excitement that the music world has mourned for decades. “The Road To Tomorrow” is his first full-length album, out February 14, 2020 on Dala Records.
