Spinphony

A stunning high energy one of a kind show mashing up all the melodies you know and love… 

Instrumental crossover string quartet “Spinphony” is breaking down barriers between classical,

rock, and pop music. Mixing and mashing catchy melodies into unique arrangements such as

“Bach in Black” and “Don’t Stop Beethoven”, Spinphony is more like a rock band than a string

quartet with added choreography and beats. The four stunning ladies who often get mistaken

for sisters, are winning over audiences with their creative and high energy performances

nationwide. They have over 50k Facebook followers and have released three studio albums

which are on the forefront of classical/rock crossover music. Their one of a kind sound is

refreshing and will leave audiences with a whole new appreciation for instrumental music.

Whether you’re a fan of ACDC, Vivaldi, or Bruno Mars, the Spinphony show is music that

everyone will love!

The quartet is comprised of Brett Omara and Anna Morris on violin, Michaela Borth on 5 String,

and Liz Gergel on cello. Combined, the ladies have been playing their instruments for over

100 years. They have performed shows worldwide and collaborated with 2 Cellos,

Evanescense, Il Volo, Josh Groban and Michael Bublé to name a few.

Scythian

Washington DC-based Scythian (sith-ee-yin) began over 12 years ago as a bunch of college buddies playing Celtic music in the streets and has grown to be a headliner on the US Celtic Festival Circuit as well as a name in the Bluegrass/Americana Festival Circuit. They found that their brand of high-energy folk music found a resonance that led The Washington Post to state: “Scythian’s enthusiasm is contagious, and shows seem to end with everyone dancing, jumping around or hoisting glasses.”
For over 12 years they have found success as an independent band and have played over 1,300 shows all over the united states, Europe, Canada and as far aways as Australia.

Founded by brothers Alexander and Danylo Fedoryka who are first-generation sons of Ukrainian immigrants, Scythian from the start has been a search and love for the “old time, good time music” of many cultures. They were inspired by a tale told by their 92-year-old grandmother of a roving fiddler who came into her farming village every six months or so. Once he was spotted, messengers were sent to all the outlying fields and mills and worked ceased; everyone gathered in the barn where they danced all night and danced their cares away. This spirit is what has motivated Scythian from its inception and their success as an independent band is due largely to their finding a resonance of soul amongst kindred spirits that span all ages and races. This spirit took them from the streets to playing for the US president on St. Patrick’s Day and its the enthusiastic response they receive that has made each of their 1,300+ shows unique. 

THE calling card of Scythian is their ability to engage their audience no matter the venue or circumstance and truly every Scythian shows ends with people dancing, smiling and covered with sweat. This is best summed up by The Camel-City Dispatch  (Winston-Salem, North Carolina): “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free, wide open feel of manic possibility. The playing is technically brilliant, but it is the energy that carries the day.”

Doug Segree Band

Hailing from Annapolis, MD, Doug Segree and his band have been playing venues, weddings, festivals, concerts, corporate and private events up and down the East Coast and throughout the country for over 20 years. This band is all about a good time on stage and it shows. With a huge playlist to draw from (Top 40, Classic Rock, Funk, Motown, 80’s, etc.) and multiple lead singers, these guys really know how to mix it up and play to their audience.  

His music has appeared on major network television and film – Netflix’s All American, ABC’s Cougartown, TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles, Cinemax (various films), WB’s Felicity, to name a few in addition to various CD compilations released nationwide. Doug’s music was used as the soundtrack on “Hope Through Motion” a compelling documentary produced by DHG Creative for the Kennedy Krieger Institute Spine Center.

Doug Segree has six pop records on the indie label, Kid Arnold Records, and 3 childrens records by SQRRL!, a fun and colorful kids band – songs inspired from Doug’s own unique interpretation of his everyday experience with his own kids. Produced by writer/producer Rich Jacques (Lisa Loeb, Colin Hay (Men at Work), Glenn Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket), Ultrvox, Right the Stars). The record features special guest, Grammy award winning recording artist Lisa Loeb.

He and his band have been playing the pregame and postgame club level parties at every Washington Redskins home game at Fed-Ex Field for nearly 20 years, along with performances at Washington Wizards games at The Verizon Center, Merriweather Post Pavilion Doug has shared the stage with artists including Matchbox 20, Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain, Pat McGee Band, Survivor, Mark Broussard, Derek Trucks, George Clinton and P-Funk, and Dave Mason of Traffic.

Doug also contributes his many talents donating his time and services to important causes like Celebrate Hope Foundation, The Summit School, Friends Foundation, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Make A Wish Foundation, Breast Cancer Foundation and the SPCA to name a few.  SQRRL Across America is another project to give back to children and family in need.

Barleyjuice

With eight albums and a double CD collection in their sporrans to date, these five spirited yanks have made themselves one of the most beloved Celtic rock bands in the US. They’ve been heard in popular television shows, films, and tons of Celtic radio programs worldwide.

Besides rocking up Irish traditionals with gravelly authenticity, Kyf Brewer pens the majority of the group’s originals and  covers lead vocals, guitar, accordion, harmonica, mandolin, bouzouki, piano and bagpipes. He originally piped in the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band, and performed in Edinburgh’s Millennium March for Prince Charles.

The ayes have it – Barleyjuice is a grand group of talented tunesmiths and prodigious performers, and the absolute best time you can have at a concert without removing your kilt.
