PHil Berman is a singer-songwriter based in Somerville, MA. Phil's original music re-weaves the tapestry of Western popular song, marrying early jazz, French chanson, Golden-Age musical theater, and bluesy, radio-ready Americana.

The endearing warmth and charm of Julia Mark's music and voice has quickly made her a favorite in the Boston music scene. As a singer-songwriter and pianist, she creates lyric-driven songs about life on the moon, loss of memory, shifting homes, and palindromes. With the songwriting penchant of Carole King and the soft-easy vocal of Suzanne Vega, Julia is for the listener who likes to transcend into a musical and visual scene.

Parker Ousley is a multi-style cellist and singer based in Boston. He performs as a solo artist and plays in Dalia & The Big Violin, a duo with singer Dalia Marina that formed in 2017. In an attempt to help the cello become more relevant and prominent in contemporary music, Parker has developed a unique sound characterized by intricate pizzicato and strumming patterns, and fiddle-like bow technique. An experienced session musician, he plays many styles of music, including classical, folk, funk, Middle Eastern, Bossa Nova, and gypsy jazz. His work has been featured on BBC Radio, NPR Music, and Washington, D.C.s historic WPFW Jazz & Justice Radio.
