Kara Tondorf - www.karatondorf.com
One of Boston's 'hidden secrets,' Kara Tondorf's songs are intense and personal, yet bright, optimistic and catchy. Now in LA, Kara will be performing songs from her CD release I Like Your Face. Northeast Performer Magazine in April of 2001 compared Kara to Bob Dylan calling her, "An astute poet" and saying that, "Tondorf's lyric style is wordy, complex and engaging."

Jill Cohn - www.jillcohn.com
A true veteran of the road, this Seattle singer was picked as an opener for the Girls Room tour and was a Top 5 finalist in the Lilith Fair Talent Search in Seattle, Portland and Phoenix. Portland's Willamette Week describes Jill as "Smart, piano-based folk-rock comparable to the work of Tori Amos and Paula Cole."

Yayojones - www.yayojones.com
Singer Richard Wesley and guitarist Drew Amavisca of Yayojones will be performing their smooth, pop-infused soul filled with polished harmonies. They've opened for Macy Gray, Jamie Foxx, Damon Wayans, and others. Yayojones delivers powerful material without compromising the song's organic cores.

Fabienne & India
Originally from Switzerland, Fabienne got her start singing soprano in her church choir. Making the move to Los Angeles, she hooked up with piano player and writing partner India. Marrying pop and folk, the songs that come from this collaboration are a blend of beautiful melodies and harmonious vocals.
