Based just outside of NYC on Long Island, Matt Hurd writes and performs his catchy acoustic pop tunes about everything from love to loss. With strong influences from classic icons like Van Morrison and Paul Simon all the way to contemporary artists ranging from the likes of John Mayer to Kanye West, Matt's sound and style has been compared to the music of Jack Johnson and Matt Nathanson. He has a charming stage presence rooted in a strong performance and a subtle wit, which helps fans of all kinds of music enjoy listening to him. Although young, Matt has the charisma and appeal of a seasoned performer. Recently, Matt has played at a variety of NYC venues and also appeared as a guest on the Joey Reynolds Show. www.myspace.com/matthurdmusic

Maria Noe (marianoe.com) is a junior at Bowling Green State University studying music and business. Maria has most recently performed a cabaret featuring Maury Yeston's songcycle December Songs. Past shows include Crazy For You, Me & My Girl, How To Succeed..., Carousel, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Beauty and the Beast, as well as productions affiliated with Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and American Entertainment Productions.

Since graduating from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy and New School University, Paige Nichols has been performing her original music at various venues around the city such as The Bitter End and Cafe Vivaldi. She has a knack for transforming romantic disasters in her personal life into lyrically charged-anthems for women scorned everywhere. Her audience is drawn to her to the raspy, soulful tone of her voice and instantly connected with the message in her genuine lyrics. Her contemporary vintage sense of style only further compliments her instrument, setting her apart from the cookie-cutter acts in the world of modern music. She can currently be seen taking the stage in Thais and La Boheme at The Metropolitan Opera. www.myspace.com/paigenicholsmusic
