Alex Radus is known as a “sultry crooner” (City Paper) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage, pairing whimsical and poignant storytelling with a genre-bending mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more. Alex has toured the country extensively and earned critical acclaim for his songwriting, recording and performing. His music has been featured on radio, television and film, including Adolescence, directed by Ashley Avis (Black Beauty). Alex has performed with John Gorka and opened for songwriting luminaries including Richie Havens and Darrell Scott. Alex is a frequent performer at the region’s best festivals and venues, including Musikfest, Zoellner Arts Center, Godfrey Daniels, IceHouse Tonight, Hopewell Theater, World Cafe Live and more. www.alexradus.com | @alexradusmusic In constant search of truth in her lyrics along her musical journey, Regina Sayles’ acoustic-driven, singer/songwriter melodies connect you to the everyday human condition. As a vocal chameleon, Regina belts and croons to the center of life’s heart strings. Unapologetic for who she is, Sayles is an active advocate for women and the LGBTQ+ communities through her music and stage performances. Think Sara Bareilles meets Sheryl Crow and together they march in a gay pride parade. Based in East Stroudsburg, PA, Regina tours whenever possible while remaining passionately dedicated to her loyal and loving local fan base. Regina has released two solo Eps, It’s Home and The Ann Street Session. In addition to singing 100+ live shows a year, Sayles has had the opportunity to open for female folk pioneer Tret Fure, Folk icon Ani DiFranco, and played as a featured artist on the 2019 Melissa Etheridge Cruise. When she’s not playing solo, she can be found joining the Craig Thatcher Band as a featured vocalist. In January 2023, Regina released her single, “Rollin’ in the Hay,” her first solo single release in ten years! Regina will be releasing an EP of new music in the upcoming year. www.reginasayles.com | @reginasayles The Joe Cirotti Trio is a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge. In 2015, Joe Cirotti, Mike Alexander, and Pete Lister’s respective multi instrumentalist upbringings fused with a collective passion for the roots of American folk, country, and bluegrass music. In this way the trio’s bond is rooted in proximity, strengthened by a blue-collar passion for picking, and buoyed by their shared propensity for cigarettes and whiskey. @joe_cirotti_
