Each of the 4 nights of performances also featured a different guest artist singing a few tunes from their repertoire...songs sung in their own solo shows so often accompanied by Mr. Firth.

Birdland will kick-off their exciting month of programming with the following acts:

The event at The Green Room 42 was more like a New Years Eve party, as the multitalented twin brother singer-songwriters had their fans cheering after ever number. 'The Boys' as they are affectionately known to their enthusiasts around the country, used their soulful tenor voices and rich two part harmonies to create an evening of emotional and exciting songs. Will has co-written three original songs on the album and Anthony has co-written seven of the original songs. Their collaborators include Maria Christensen, Jeff Franzel, and Porter Carroll Jr.
