Tara O'Grady
"This torchy chanteuse leads one of the most badass old-time swing bands you'll ever hear. One thing that distinguishes her from the legions of come-hither, moldy fig front women is that O'Grady writes her own songs - when she's at the top of her game, which she generally seems to be, they sound like classics from the 1930s. She brings Bessie Smith into this century with lickety-split swing."
- New York Music Daily
"Combining Billie Holiday's gift for meticulous but effortlessly poetic phrasing with Anita O'Day's swingin' sassiness, June Christy's cocktail coolness, Patsy Cline's rural romanticism, and Sarah Vaughn's sophisticated sultriness, she is indeed a musical force of nature to reckon with. Tara's music is as eclectic, authentic, timeless and nostalgic as the American landscape itself." - Will "the Thrill" Viharo, Author, Los Angeles.

The 3 B’s Plus 2
An Organ Quintet, The 3 B’s plus 2, with Paul Bollenback (guitar), Pat Bianchi (organ), Eric Alexander or Vincent Herring (saxophone), and Paul Rossman (percussion). Grammy Nominated Richard Baratta was born into a musically oriented family in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1950 . He began his musical journey at the age 12, playing saxophone, flute and drums, and eventually, exclusively drums. He played mostly jazz all through his teens. An opportunity presented itself in the winter of 2016 that changed everything. He decided to return to his roots and main love and began performing music again, while continuing to produce films.
From Baratta’s lips, “I’m telling you, I’m in heaven. I just want to keep it going. A light has gone off in my head and the music seems clearer and fresher than ever.”
