Bobby Faria

Born: March 3, 1955

Raised in Middletown, RI by two very musical parents, Bobby has been playing music since the age of 5 or 6 when he used to jam with his parents. Little Bobby would be strumming on the ukulele while his father Tony Faria, stretched out on violin or guitar and his mother, Lolly played the piano. Later, in junior high school, he played a rented tenor saxophone in the school concert band.  Then in high school he realized how much he loved performing when he sang and played guitar in several locally successful rock bands. His first real instrument had been the electric guitar and he has wielded it successfully for over 30 years in a wide variety of musical genres. In 1998, he bought his first saxophone and before too long, he was getting calls for gigs.  

Art Boffi

Since arriving on the scene, jazz guitarist, Art Boffi, has been sparking interest and turning heads with his fiery brand of jazz guitar. Currently in steady rotation on internet radio stations that include CD101.9, Smooth Jazz Global, Smooth Jazz NYC, Smooth Jazz Mix New York, Radio Guitar One, and 95.5 Smooth Jazz to name a few. What makes this musician so unique is his well-thought-out arrangements and his creative intertwining of musical ideas. Influenced by traditional jazz players like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, and Tal Farlow, he later found inspiration from players of a more avant-garde styling such as Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie as well as Pat Metheny, and rockers such as Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin, and Roy Buchanan. Well versed in many musical styles, when listening to his recorded work, one can detect influences of jazz, rock, and blues.

Justin Perdue

Justin Perdue has played guitar professionally since the late 1980's, appearing at venues from NYC's Knitting Factory and Vision Festival to the Burlington Jazz Festival and the University of Madison Wisconsin. He's also recorded and performed with Arthur Brooks, the So-Called Jazz Sextet, Jack Wright, and has worked & toured with the Middlebury College Dance Co. Justin began playing at the age of 12 - initially influenced by everything from the Beatles and Donovan to The Who and Yes. He soon got "serious" and was studying classical guitar and composition in his early teens. Justin eventually studied improvisation, performance and composition at Bennington College with trumpters Bill Dixon and Arthur Brooks. Self taught since then, his unique sound is in part related to his use of an unconventional guitar tuning (fourths: E-A-D-G-C-F, low to high) - which he's played in since 1990 and his Wes Montgomery-esque fingerstyle/thumb-picking technique. Justin also composes and records solo works with guitar synthesizer, midi and computers.
