Sofa King combines a jazz, funk, soul and R&B sound with honesty, emotion and deep down, feelgood dance grooves. Each song is a reflection of the diversity of parts that make up this dynamic group. While Sofa King is a bass driven, hard funk act, they pay homage to the stylistic groove funk of the 70's and 80's.

HALFPENCE AND HAYPENNY

Halfpence and Haypenny is the musical collaboration of Eva Riihiluoma and Sage Arias. With influences from Medieval Europe to the back cabins of Appalachia,the show is an auditory tour that weaves bardic storytelling with the folk traditions. Eva's vocals, described as sultry and powerful, combined with a multi instrumental array create the duo's compelling sound. Listeners often mention the feeling of being transported to another time and place. Alongside original music and compositions, the duo collects and performs the heirlooms of vintage music from Ireland, old Europe, and old time Americana. The songs range from the haunted ghosts of the old world and ballad style tales to songs of redemption and soulful revelation.
Eva Riihiluoma- vocals, classical guitar, mandola, octave mandolin, bodhran, spoons. Sage Arias- Irish bouzouki, mandola, hurdy gurdy, banjo
PAT HULL
www.pathullmusic.com
Pat Hull's lyrically and vocally charged songwriting "goes in the direction of gently reinventing the genre rather than obeying its exhausted axioms" (Deli Magazine). Pat discovered and honed his craft in Chico, CA and returned to Brooklyn in 2010. In 2011, Pat, Michael Chinworth, and Jason Beck began a collaboration that would eventually produce "Light" and "Shed Skin." His latest effort, 'In the Yellow Room,' was recorded in live time with band mates Mark Robertson and Bob Reynolds, and engineered by Peter Rodocker at Yellow Room Recording, in Portland, OR.
