Christopher Rossi

Born and raised in the Boston, Mass. area, music has always been an important part of Chris’ life and it developed into quite a past-time for him. Growing up as a young boy throughout the seventies, he recalls sitting in his brother Ed and Ken’s basement level apartment listening to a LOT of music. Countless albums… several times over. It opened his ears to a lot of Classic Rock from the sixties and seventies, as well as some Soul/R&B from back in the day. Some of his favorite artists back then were The Beatles, J. Geils, The Allman Brothers, The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Billy Joel

Halley Elwell

Born: November 7

Halley Elwell is a songwriter whose memorable melodies, vibrant imagery and wit pull the ear somewhere old and new. Elwell boldly exhibits this in her song Sisters on the J Train, recently named a John Lennon Songwriting Contest finalist in the jazz catagory. Elwell wrote the song after riding the J train in San Francisco with a group of praying nuns. “At the time I was a confused and somewhat lost 20-something observing the colorful but divided lives of people in San Francisco. At the beginning my first instinct was to bristle and question, but ultimately the prayers of the sisters on the J train ended up being an unlikely gift that morning.” Weaving tales of travel and nostalgia into lush and layered rhythms, Elwell’s upcoming EP, Last of What I Know, pays homage to the sounds of late 1960’s and 1970s songwriters like Laura Nyro
