Chris "Big Dog" Davis

Chris "Big Dog" Davis, is a Waterbury native and two-time Grammy nominated writer and producer, who has earned 15 Billboard top #1 Smooth Jazz Hits since 2008. Chris received a Grammy nomination in 2014 for his work with singer/songwriter "Maysa" on her "Blue Velvet Soul" CD. Chris and co-producer Gerald Albright received a Grammy nomination in 2015 for their CD "Slam Dunk" in the category of "Best Contemporary Instrumental Album."

Big Dog is a highly-pursued producer by Billboard artists such as Najee, Dave Koz, Marion Meadows, Rick Braun, Nick Colionne, Will Downing, Phil Perry and Kim Waters. Chris has also performed as a solo artist at the Berks Jazz Fest and Philly South Kitchen and Jazz Parlor. Chris also performed at the 1^st ever Brass City Jazz Fest at the beginning of summer, which had rave reviews.

Nick Colionne

With a jazz style that is both urban and contemporary, Nick Colionne has blazed a trail to the top of the ranks of today's stars. Combining jazz, R&B, blues and funk, he has an unmistakable sound and vibe that is instantly recognizable. Nick takes the guitar to unexpected places every time he performs and his rich baritone vocals delight audiences.

Nick made history in 2017 & 2018 with 5 consecutive Billboard Number 1 singles off his "The Journey" CD. His current CD, "Just Being Me", which has a Billboard Top 10 Single titled "Be UrSelf" offers a palate of moods and flavors born of life experiences, challenges, and the effect of the people, past and present, who have helped shape and mold his sound.

Phil Perry

Vocalist, Phil Perry is a soulful singer/songwriter with decades of experience in the pop, R&B, and jazz idioms who got his start as a member of the soul vocal group, the Montclairs from 1971–1975. After the group broke up, he launched a lucrative career as a freelance songwriter, producer, and studio singer, appearing on albums with such luminaries as Anita Baker, Peabo Bryson, Chaka Khan, and many others.

To coincide with the release of his fifth studio album, 2001's Magic, Perry was scheduled to perform a lunchtime concert at the World Trade Center on September 11^th. Although events found him elsewhere that day, he subsequently suffered from depression and spent several years away from recording. Coaxed back into the studio by Magic-producer Chris "Big Dog" Davis, Perry released "Classic Love Songs" in 2006.

Kim Waters

Kim Waters' 23^rd recording as a leader and thirteenth CD for Shanachie Records, "What I Like", finds the saxophonist doing what he does best—creating dreamy melodies, crafting funky dance-inspired originals, immortalizing sultry ballads, and putting his own indelible imprint on timeless R&B hits. The charming and spiritually grounded saxophonist has proven through the years to be a master composer.

In typical fashion, Waters is like a one-man band playing virtually all the instruments on "What I Like." However, he does get a little help from some friends including Bassist/Guitarist Prince Redd, Raynard Gibson(vocalist) and long-time friend and collaborator, Chris "Big Dog" Davis.

Carol Riddick

Highly-regarded in the music community for her vocal dexterity, mesmerizing performances and genuinely warm personality, Carol Riddick is a unique entertainer whose evolution is ongoing and has also blessed the tracks of many distinguished artists. She is featured on records by Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Norman Brown, Kindred The Family Soul and a host of others. Most notably, her distinct vocal delivery can be heard on Musiq's "Soulstar," the title track on his multi-platinum album.

Carol's fondness for the Philly International and Motown recordings on which she grew up is reflected in her debut album, "Moments Like This", which carries on the tradition of music that moves people. Her beautiful spirit, sensuous stage shows and passionate vocal delivery will surely soothe your ears and alter your spirit in the most alluring way.
