Mike Reilly - Guitarist - The Gregg Allman Band, Elvin Bishop and The Mike Reilly Brotherhood. B.B. King once said that playing the Blues was like having to be black twice.  “Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed,” he concluded.  The same can be said of Mike Reilly, who’s played with both B.B. King and Stevie Ray. Mike may not be black, but he knows the Blues, and he’s been playing them for a long time.  Like Muddy Waters–another legend Mike’s shared the stage with–he’s still delivering ’cause he’s got a long memory.

Tony Chin - Guitarist - Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, International Reggae All-Stars and Big Mountain has recorded here twice for different projects. With a music career spanning over thirty years Tony Chin is a true founding father of reggae music. Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in the cauldrons of Trenchtown and Greenwich Farm, Tony's career started off in the Rocksteady era of the late 1960s and progressed into reggae in the 1970s as an original member of the sensational Soul Syndicate band.

It is hard to imagine a chart-topping song that Tony Chin didn't perform on or a star singer Tony didn't support. Artists that Tony has played with include Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Big Youth, Burning Spear, Johnny Clarke, Cornell Campbell, Don Carlos, John Holt, Sugar Minott, Ken Boothe, Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Judy Mowatt among countless others.

Nick DiPaolo - The Tonight Show, David Letterman, Showtime, HBO, MTV. We recorded his live comedy album "Born This Way" on location and mastered it here at the studio. Do you like sharp witted sarcasm? This guy wrote the book. In this day of watered down comedy, Nick Di Paolo's brutally honest performances remind us of what great stand up should be: funny, socially relevant and a little bit reckless. Nick began his career in his hometown of Boston and two-years later, made the jump to New York, where he found his seething, sarcastic style was welcomed with open arms by New York audiences at such clubs as Catch a Rising Star, Caroline’s and The Comedy Cellar. It was clubs like these where he honed his uncompromising point of view, which makes him not only a club favorite, but a true "comic's comic." www.nickdipaolo.com.
