Abso Loli

 Award-winning Cuban-American Cabaret singer, Loli Marquez-Sterling,  brings her hit cabaret show, “ABSO-LOLI" direct from New York City.  Winner of NYC‘s 2010 Bistro Award for ‘Outstanding Entertainer of the  Year’, the sultry singer originally hails from New Hampshire, spending  her adolescent years right here in Plymouth, NH before moving to the  “big city” to pursue her musical dreams.

The three time NYC MAC  Nominee and winner of the 2003 Theatre Mania Award for her outstanding  CD “Loli but not Alone”, Loli  draws on her Cuban heritage, her New  Hampshire attitude, and NYC sass to take you on an exciting musical  journey. Her comical story telling and satirical humor on life are sung  through an eclectic array of Latin infused songs as well as great  arrangements of more well-known standard American classics.

Led  by Grammy Winner, pianist, flautist, composer, and arranger, Oriente  Lopez, Loli’s band is a powerful juggernaut! A nine piece band that has  the innate ability to interpret perfectly, genre-defying, music blending  her traditions with innovation.

“Loli is a consummate  performer. Her lust for life and the music of her Cuban upbringing is  evident throughout the show”, gushes NYC Nite Life Exchange writer  Danielle Micelli. “She sings with gusto, passion and great humor. Her  frenetic energy is contagious and she will have the audience cheering  for more and more throughout the performance. She is a lovely fireball  and a fabulous singer. You cannot walk out of one of Loli’s shows not  dancing inside and feeling rejuvenated!” she exclaims.

JEFF PITCHELL is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist  out of CT, who blends Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King and Jimi Hendrix  experiences with his own soulful vocals. His song "Eye for an Eye"  won  an International Songwriting Contest  and was recently recorded by the  legendary John Mayall.

Jeff has performed with the Allman  Brothers, BB King, Ted Nugent, Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead, and J  Geils!

These three multi talented musicians have come together  and they’re on fire. Toss in Pitchell's band TEXAS FLOOD, a horn  section, and female backup singers... you have a red hot, rockin' rhythm  & blues show you gotta check out!

Ryan Montbleau Band

 Ryan Montbleau, who has been recording and touring as both a solo act  and bandleader for much of the last 15 years, moves people.  A gifted  songwriter, he has developed a very special history and bond to a  deeply-rooted fanbase that now stretches all over the United States and  beyond.  Montbleau's transcendent songcraft and powerful, uplifting  voice can tackle intense topics just as easily as expressing life's  simple, everyday joys.  He continues to speak to a generation of fans  who have been along for his rise.  Like an intense, slow-burning  wildfire, Montbleau has toured relentlessly and connected with audiences  night after night, year after year.

This gifted singer and his band have built their catalog the  old-fashioned way, by introducing new songs to their live set, then  bending and shaping them over dozens of performances before committing a  definitive version to the hard drive.

"Songwriting sits at the center of my life, basically. I always look at  life through the lens of songwriting and poetry. I tend to get little  scraps of writing done constantly throughout each day and night of my  life. The real challenge is to build and create finished pieces and to  uncover the truth of a particular song.  The words have to be just right  and I don't stop until I get it right."
