FLAT EARTH SOCIETY
The Flat Earth Society Orchestra (FES) mixes the rich Northwest European brass band tradition with oddball topsy-turvy creativity. Taking Belgian whimsy to a logical, irresistible extreme, FES straddles the border between multi-color surrealism and savvy skill. Composer, reed player and band- leader Peter Vermeersch, co-piloted by pianist and composer Peter Vandenberghe, have shaped their 15-piece orchestra into one of the most productive and thrilling bands of its kind.
While Flat Earth Society’s compositions and arrangements betray 20th century traditions –from jazz to rock, exotica and contemporary music– they embody a decidedly forward-looking 21st century spirit. Quick-witted, effortlessly eccentric and always on the lookout for new challenges.
On The One, FES takes on the single-mindedness of truth. In a maddening world of jumbling perspectives, bawling personalities and hunger for comprehension, “The One” has become the highest good. One truth, one clarity, one version, one story.
Cunning, cinematic and devious as you only find them in classic films noir; The One is an antidote to a nonsensical quest as well as an ode to unbridled fantasy. Grinning from within, the virus allows itself to be corrupted by FES into an irresistible shooting gallery of possibilities.
PAUL KAHN
“...echoes of Dave Frishberg and Mose Allison.” - The Boston Herald
“...an uplifting and soothing journey. Paul’s picturesque songwriting touches the soul with universal themes.” - Catherine Russell
Paul Kahn’s decades-long career has been defined by a passion for roots music. Songwriter, working musician, music booking agency founder, music publisher, producer, writer, artist manager, and historian, Paul has worn many hats.
Stuart J. Rosenberg, the Chicago based musician, producer, radio host, and promoter, who passed away on May 7, 2024, at age 68, was one of Paul’s deepest collaborators and most enduring musical pals. Paul befriended Stuart while booking artists in the 1990s, when Stuart produced concerts.
In 1998, Stuart produced demos of some of Paul’s original songs, with a band that included the cream of Chicago area musicians. The sessions led to the 1999 release of the album, Paul Kahn: These Ears And Eyes. The release coincided with the 20th anniversary of Concerted Efforts, the boutique music booking agency founded and helmed by Paul Kahn. The album intrigued the music world, leading to features and glowing reviews in international outlets, including fRoots (England), The Jerusalem Post (Israel), The Boston Globe, and the music business weekly Pollstar Magazine. “His rootsy, old-time, mostly acoustic, swing-based string band arrangements, his deadpan vocals and his delight in word-play lend the effort a vaudevillian feel,” wrote Seth Rogovoy for Berkshire Eagle.
MARIANNE SOLIVAN
A voice that is powerful & warm, strong & supple with the perfect touch of seduction. The ability to weave a story so well you get lost in it. A swing feel that will get you moving in your seats. And joy, enough joy to fill the room. This is what separates jazz vocalist Marianne Solivan form the rest.
Solivan has a way of making you her best friend when she sings. She gives so much to her audiences in her stories and laughter that you automatically feel at ease with her. She brings alive well-worn songs and introduces you to new material that feels like an old chestnut.
Her reputation amongst the Jazz elite in New York is second to none. She is a well-rounded musician that plays with the best and brings out the best in them all.
Her first two records both received high critical acclaim in both Downbeat & JazzTimes and her next record Re-Entry is sure to hit the top of the Jazz charts.
Solivan is a naturally gifted performer and vocalist who envelops the stage and gives so much of herself to the listener. She is a treasure and will only get better with time.
LAUREN BUSH
Lauren Bush is a trailblazing vocal jazz artist renowned for her unique ability to meld traditional jazz sensibilities with contemporary musical expressions. With a voice that resonates across generations, she has captivated audiences worldwide and continues to push the boundaries of the genre.
Tide Rises is Bush's 3rd endeavour, this time on Mighty Quinn Records, and features more dynamic arrangements (by Liam Dunachie) of popular favourites from Joni Mitchell and Rodgers and Hammerstein, but also takes a further look at Bush's budding prowess as a songwriter.
SONGEVITY
SONGEVITY is dedicated to creating beautiful music that is as endearing as it is enduring. The NY Times has described the music as "a slightly tricky derivation of hard bop" while Elmore Magazine says, "Rock, world, hard bop and street are all putty in this energetic trio's imagination and performance".
RONI BEN-HUR
“When words fail, music speaks.” That quote from the great Danish storyteller, Hans Christian Anderson perfectly captures the spirit of “Love Letters,” this latest album from virtuoso jazz guitarist, Roni Ben-Hur. During his more than 40 years of performing, composing and teaching jazz, Roni has stood out as one of the most versatile, worldly and sensitive artists of his generation. Whether coaxing his guitar to speak with scat-like agility or to whisper with gentle, melodic intensity, his message is always clear – this music comes straight from the heart.
“Love Letters” is a musical mosaic of moments that invites us to reconnect with what matters most in life. For Roni, what matters most is sharing love through music, and on this album he shares it with some of the leading voices in today’s jazz world, trumpeter, Ingrid Jensen, bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer, Jason Tiemann, performing four originals and five gems by other composers.
JULIA PERMINOVA
Jazz pianist Julia Perminova recorded her latest album in 2022 at Bauer Studios in Ludwisburg, Germany. It is a musical diary of sorts, in which Perminova shares her thoughts, feelings and experiences on the significance of freedom in one’s life.
Perminova explains that “Freedom is crucial for me to live and create. Without it I begin to wither, like a plant without water. Every track of the album carries a deep meaning for me, and they are all inextricably linked with the concept of Freedom.”
“Julia Perminova is a pianist to keep an ear out for — she has an inventive, colorful and poetic musical mind, and I look forward to hearing much more from her in the future.”Aaron Parks
GARY LUCAS
Somewhere between a steamroller and hellhound train, this record is here to run you over. The term that pops in my teeming word-cloud is drive. Taut and loose at the same time, monolithic, monomaniacal and when Lucas’s guitar bellows and screams, just plain maniacal, this downtown supergroup—recorded live in 2006—is more cohesive and focused than a hundred together-forever bands. So much so you wonder how the musicians could ever stand to be apart. Or how anyone could have left this on the shelf.
Experience has taught me to look askance at live rock albums (and while this may be avant-rock, the emphasis is resolutely on the back of the hyphen). But these sturdy, mostly up-tempo tunes, mostly by Lucas, gain crazy authority amid the sweat and beer. And the driving sound, produced by band member—and as reaffirmed here, B3 virtuoso—Jerry Harrison, gains an overdriven quality that’s perfect. In an imperfect, noisy way.
You may know the origin story of Gary Lucas—which starts with Beefheart (the idol he would eventually serve as co-lead guitarist) and continues through Jeff Buckley (the protege with whom he wrote “Grace” and “Mojo Pin”). If you don’t, it’s a good ‘un. You may know Billy Ficca, founding member of Television. Ernie Brooks from the Modern Lovers. Harrison, from the Lovers and Talking Heads. Jason Candler, downtown sax ace. And the gifted Joe Hendel on ‘bone. But if you were curious about a through-line from “Sing Sing Sing” to “Third Stone from the Sun” to “20th Century Schizoid Man”—with stops for the Velvets, Wagner, Zappa, the Allmans, Sun Ra, Chet Atkins and Bukka White—climb abroad.
Turns out, it’s not this album that was lost. It was us. - Robert Duncan
MIKE MILAZZO
What happens when the sideman moves to center stage? When one of the most sought-after guitarists in the NYC area wants to express himself through his own words and voice, not just his fretboard skills? When solo artist gets added to the resume after major-label group member and session musician?
New Americana and Alternative Country performer Mike Milazzo is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and guitarist who blends an array of acoustic and electric instruments to create a raw, heartfelt, singular sound. A writer of an eclectic mix of songs, who has honed his craft through hundreds of live performances worldwide, Mike is the consummate musician’s musician. Self-reflective, his songs come from life experiences and tell tales from across the human experience. Bold and unafraid, his performances always electrify. Mike is always at home on stage and in the studio.
From his deep classic rock and grunge roots, Mike is also a skilled bluegrass and alternative rock player. A gunslinger at times, ready to be challenged at the drop of a hat. His complex background working with the greatest players and producers in the Northeast prepared him perfectly for today, where he can be found on your favorite Spotify playlist, on your turntable, and on your area stage.
"He is a one-man force. Part story-teller, part comedian, part masterfully self-possessed musician. Musically, this is a combination of genres, merging gospel with bluegrass, country with rock ‘n roll. We think of Elvis Costello at times, but there is a tangy twang and a hint of the Four Horsemen that’s unmistakable.” – William Glenn, Fringe Review
Mike has three singles and an EP planned for release in 2022, with his song Honey as the first release. He has shared his guitar, vocal, and mandolin skills with artists and veteran performers including Meg Griffin’s Trainwreck, Buddy Cage, Tom Hanway, and many more, and as an opening act for Donovan, Richie Havens, and Levon Helm. He has worked extensively with producers such as Sean Slade, Tony Maimone, and David Domanich, and has appeared on over twenty major-label and independent single and album releases over the past two decades.
TOO NOISY FISH
Too Noisy Fish, the piano trio consisting of Peter Vandenberghe (piano), Kristof Roseeuw (double bass) and Teun Verbruggen (drums), is inspired by any musical genre, with the freedom of jazz being the common denominator. The original compositions by Peter Vandenberghe navigate between jazz, rock, techno, impro, film, classical, contemporary music... Let’s call it “Multijazz”
In 2021, Too Noisy Fish had its 10th anniversary. The trio invited a gang of equally free spirits to their birthday party to dive deeper into infinite countercurrent creativity. Too Many Fish was born! With Too Many Fish new musical textures are unraveled adding poetry, beats, scratches, horns, mallets,…This XL version consists of Belgian writer Dimitri Verhulst, trumpeter Bart Maris, saxophone player Bruno Vansina, Philip De Jager (vibes, marimba) and DJ Grazzhoppa.
BRET REILLY
After a nearly 20-year hiatus from music while pursuing other artistic endeavors, Reilly was drawn back to music after his young daughters found his guitars in the closet.
With strong emotional inspiration based on fatherhood, sobriety, and the recent death of his mother, Reilly penned the soundtrack to the latest chapter of his life—an American story that could be filmed anywhere from a dusty roadside bar, a Midwest farmhouse, or a beach in New England.
The sound of the tracks and Reilly’s voice echo his lifelong musical heroes, including Johnny Cash, Tom Waits and David Bowie. Smart and witty lyrics lead you on a storytelling journey with a pure Americana sound and infectious pop sensibility.

SEAN O'NEILL
The young and confident new artist Sean O’Neill is very excited to release her new album “The Truth Is.” Her songwriting and guitar journey began at the age 10.
