Picking up the fiddle at age 4, Michael Cleveland’s musical momentum began to propel him forward towards early success. At age 9, he was invited to sit in with the legendary Bill Monroe at the Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival. Soon after, he brought his virtuosic style to the Grand Ole Opry as a guest of Alison Kraus, and was hand picked for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Bluegrass Youth All-stars before he was 14. His blistering prowess and technical fluency have marked him as a sought-after musician, leading to performances with Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Tim O’Brien, J.D. Crowe and the New South, and The Kruger Brothers. However, it wasn’t until 2006, when Michael formed his own band Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, that he found the right vehicle for his musical vision.

Before they were The Lords of 52nd Street, you could find them playing at local clubs in Long Island under the band name, “Topper,” drawing large audiences when bassist Doug Stegmeyer flew out to California to audition for the “Piano Man,” Mr. Billy Joel, who was looking to form a new band that would record and tour with him regularly. Stegmeyer was immediately accepted into the Billy Joel Band, and Joel asked if Stegmeyer knew any other players, specifically a New York style drummer. Stegmeyer recommended his Topper bandmates who then joined Joel in the studio to record his 1976 album, “Turnstiles.” The rest is music history. “This is not a Billy Joel cover band. This IS Billy Joel’s original band!” —Bobby Rossi, Ruth Eckerd Hall

Formed in the early 90s, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has performed over 150 shows a year and has sold over 2 million albums. Early on they reminded the world that it was still cool to swing. The band has been at the forefront of the swing revival, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic sounds of swing and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture. The band’s original horn-infused music and legendary high energy show introduces the genre to a new generation while remaining respectful of the music’s rich legacy. They appeared in the 1996 indie film Swingers and their music has been featured in countless films and television shows, including Despicable Me, Phineas & Ferb, Friends, Third Rock From The Sun, and Ally McBeal. They’ve appeared live on Dancing With The Stars, Late Night With Conan O’Brien, NBC’s Christmas in Rockefeller Center, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Super Bowl XXXIII Halftime Show, and they’ve performed for three U.S. Presidents.
