Featured Guest Artists:
Oak & Ash
Hailing from New York City, Oak & Ash formed in
late 2014 and set out to change the landscape of the Pop/ Rock scene with a
variety of soulfully written and performed original records. Their explosive
anthems, soaring guitar solos, soulful vocals, and recognizable pop song structure,
has been compared to a mix between Kings of Leon, Maroon 5, and Coldplay. In
August of 2016 they were named the winner of Newsday's Battle of the Bands
contest and in early 2017 they were named the winner of Bon Jovi's
"Opening Act Contest." Just over three years after its formation, the
group has booked renowned venues such as The Gramercy Theatre, Irving Plaza,
The Paramount Theatre, Webster Hall, and most recently Madison Square Garden,
opening for Bon Jovi.
Tracy Thornton
Tracy Thornton, Steel Pandemic Records
founder and CEO, creator and brainchild of “Pan Rocks” and LoveCat Music
recording artist, has been performing as a professional steelpannist for more
than 20 years. Thornton is also a full-time composer, arranger and producer. As
a popular national and international guest artist/clinician for many
universities, colleges, public schools and community steel bands, Thornton
brings with him his innovative steel pan style, his wealth of knowledge as a
musician, and his insights and experiences on the realities of the music
business. And, with 15 solo CDs under
his belt, many of Thornton’s fresh and exciting compositions have become
performance favorites for steel bands throughout the U.S. and around the world.
Combine all of that with Tracy’s engaging and dynamic personality and you have
a winning formula that is inspiring a new generation of pan players. Thornton
has performed all over the continental U.S., as well as Hawaii, Europe, Japan,
Hong Kong, China, Mexico, Canada and throughout the Caribbean. He has also
performed in several annual Carnival celebrations in Trinidad and Tobago,
including Panorama — the world’s largest steel band competition, and with Phase
II, Potential Symphony, NGC Couva Joylanders, Lavantille’s Uni Stars and Tobago’s Hope Pan Groove.
