Jacob George was born and raised in Miami, Florida where he works as a teacher and singer songwriter. He has been writing and producing songs since he was 15 years old. He was the musical director for PAN, Performing Arts Network and Voices United, with whom he toured South Africa, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Greece, and Turkey performing original music.
George graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2015 where he majored in songwriting. At Berklee, he was offered an opportunity to work with Joe James, the head of Berklee’s A&R Dept, and recorded his first full length album. Jacob traveled to SxSW Music Festival with Grammy Award winner Bonnie Hayes where he performed his original compositions, and was chosen to represent Berklee’s Songwriting Dept.
After attending a master class with touring artist Patty Larkin, Jacob was invited to open for her at The Spire Center in Plymouth. In 2016, he released his debut album, Fight the Feeling. The album received positive feedback and it’s single, Cold Machine, was given a regular rotation on internet & college radio. Following the release of Fight the Feeling, George restructured his band in Miami, Florida, and began performing regularly throughout South Florida. He was featured on BalconyTV, WLRN Folk and Acoustic, Good Morning Emmerson and Richmond International Film Festival (RIFF). George released his first official music video for “Mama’s Girl” in 2021. In 2022 the Mama’s Girl music video was selected to be included in Richmond International Film Festival. George currently teaches music, and performs with his Band. He plans to release new music later this year.

Sarah Jacob views songwriting as a catalyst to navigate through emotions and give them voice. Aided by her love for puns, double entendres and allusion, her songs transform the confusions and ambiguities of inner experience into a “language of the emotions.” Since 2012 Sarah, who composes on the piano, has teamed up with Darrell Arnold. The result–mixing hints of jazz, blues and folk into contemporary rock-ballads–is an original lyric.al and musical blend.

Sarah McCulloch is a Country/Americana Singer-Songwriter whose sweet, yet sultry, voice pierces right through the lush traditional country production on her latest album, Sawmiller’s Daughter. The songwriter’s emotive and nostalgic lyrics showcase her knack for timeless storytelling that transports the listener right into the center of the narrative.
Renowned journal of roots music, No Depression cited McCulloch as being, “one of the most memorable debuts in recent Americana music history,” and her sound as, “genuine and sparkl[ing] with palpable emotion.” McCulloch’s style has also been described as being, “immensely human and emotive, bringing fine lyrical content to even more vivid life.” The lead singles releasing ahead of the album, including “Honey To A Bear” and “Half Crazy”, are steeped in country tradition and boast the kind of sentimental storytelling and tender vocal stylings that get under your skin. Fans of Dolly Parton, Lori McKenna, Miranda Lambert and Lee Ann Womack will surely connect with this evocative and timely song-wielding woman.
Sawmiller’s Daughter was what McCulloch akins to a labor of love. The production of the album was postponed due to COVID, as well as McCulloch’s divorce and a cross-country move back to South Florida after living in the Western New York area for over a decade. “Like so many songwriters, I played the adversity to my creative advantage,” says McCulloch, “This album was written and rewritten… the songs weren’t done until I had the experiences I needed to have for completion.”
Born in Miami, Florida and raised in the Everglades, McCulloch grew up on her father’s sawmill, surrounded by the remote property that is now part of the Big Cypress National Preserve. “My father was a force of nature, he was a pioneer who was always growing spiritually,” says McCulloch. “He taught me the meaning of hard work and perseverance.” The title track of the album pays homage to that sentiment as well as McCulloch’s unique upbringing and country roots.
McCulloch’s debut album, Strawberry Moon (2018), received radio airplay in the U.S. and internationally, as well as amassed glowing reviews from many notable publications including No Depression Magazine and Gashouse Radio. In 2018, Strawberry Moon also gained top recognition as a nominee at the Independent Music Awards in NYC in the Country category, in which McCulloch was the only female artist to be nominated.
After living in upstate New York for over a decade, McCulloch has returned to her homeland of south Florida and has her feet firmly planted in the solid foundation she has built by sharing her life stories through song with a spirit of relatable honesty, fervor and warmth. “I became very serious about writing in my late thirties when I was at the end of a difficult time in my life,” says McCulloch, “I was very, very homesick for my home state of Florida. ‘Sugartown’ and the title track, ‘Sawmiller’s Daughter’ were written around that time. It was very healing for me and helped me transition into a new life.”
From listening rooms and theatres to gin-joints and festivals, McCulloch is enthralling audiences far and wide with her personable musical mosaic and unforgettable voice married with meaningful songs. In the Fall of 2021, McCulloch signed with Lady Savage MGMT & PR and will be releasing several singles with accompanying visual content leading up to the 2022 release of her sophomore album, Sawmiller’s Daughter.

A Lone Voice was recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee by Grammy-winning songwriter Phil Madeira, with backing musicians David Mansfield on guitars, mandolin and violin, Dennis Holt on drums and percussion, Chris Donohue on bass, and of course, Phil Madeira on guitars and keys.
Pete’s freshman project, Phases of the Heart, ranges from ‘acoustic pop-gressive’ to slow and earnest ballads. It was recorded in 1993 at Rutabaga Studios with John Alagia, whose production credits include the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, and Ben Folds Five. Kronowitt’s second and third albums, Threads and elements, were produced by Pete Snell, who toured extensively with Lyle Lovett. The songs from elements explore the full spectrum of relationships, from the first tug of the heartstring, to the first salvo of war, to saying “goodbye” reality TV-style. The album creates an interwoven narrative of friends and family with an emotional perspective on everyday struggles, and its centerpiece, ‘Now It’s We,’ is a wedding song that explores trust, respect, and friendship.
Pete Kronowitt has toured internationally in China, Japan, and Vietnam, and across the US in the last few years with long-time friend and collaborator bassist John David Coppola, including shows in Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland. John has over 30 years of experience, including two years touring abroad with The Danny Morris Band, and was integral on Pete’s first album Phases of the Heart, where he played upright bass.
Pete Kronowitt’s music resonates with truth and an unwavering belief that people can use their voice to demand common sense solutions. The people of these great United States are bound by the many things we have in common, and must reject those manufactured issues which divide us. With his revolutionary new album, A Lone Voice, Pete Kronowitt has called for a rediscovery of the protest song…and not a moment too soon.
Special guest Len Seligman will join us:
“Len Seligman lights up the audience every time he takes our stage. He crafts wonderful songs that are often light and funny and always heartfelt and performed with perfection.” (WKDW 97.5 FM). His awards include First Place, Great American Song Contest, and 4 Washington Area Music Award (“Wammie”) nominations. His music videos (including Red Tide Rick) have over 50,000 views.
