Gritty, buttery, and soul-piercing have all been used to describe the vocals of Donna Colton. A seasoned veteran of the local music scene, her songwriting and CDs have garnered national and international attention. Solo showcases at the legendary Bitter End and Spiral Club in New York City and at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville led to live performances for national TV and radio shows. In 2009 she became one of the few women to be inducted into the Syracuse Area Music Awards Hall of Fame.

Colton will be joined on stage by her husband and bandmate, Sam Patterelli, AKA Sam Troublemaker, making music they call an acoustic tangle of Broken Folk and Twang Rock.

Born and raised in Syracuse, Isreal Hagan's musical influences were his parents, Sylvester & Bertha Hagan, who immersed him in music from birth. Isreal's singing career started in third grade. As a self-taught musician, he picked up his first guitar at age 9, followed soon after by the bass. At age 14, Isreal started his songwriting career.

This 9-time SAMMY Award Winner and Hall of Famer was featured as the Syracuse New Times cover story in February 1995 and the Post Standard's Weekend Cover Story in March 1999. The articles depicted him as the outspoken defender of local music and R n B, a man who charts out his own path to success. Isreal had the honor of being flown out to California to perform with the legendary Carlos Santana.

Dana "Short Order" Cooke is one of Central New York's most prominent working musicians. The five-time SAMMY-nominated artist's material is distinctly witty, wry and unconventional. (He calls himself a "folk singer, songwriter and sometimes buffoon," after all.)
