Giulia Millanta is an Italian born folk rock, Americana singer-songwriter. She plays guitar, baritone guitar, and ukulele and sings in four languages (English, Italian, Spanish and French).
She has been described by Michael Greenblatt on The Aquarian Weekly as being "deeply evocative with a dash of Piaf, a sprinkle of Lady Day, a pinch of Norah Jones and a teaspoon of Madeleine Peyroux." "She has been called smart, eclectic, adventurous and cool, and credited with psychedelic grooveability whilst 'baring her clairvoyant soul' to 'deliver musical mojo'".
She has released six solo albums to date and regularly tours throughout the US and Europe.

Tony Kamel is Houston-born songwriter and frontman for the Grammy-nominated string band Wood & Wire. His solo career started with his debut album, for Bruce Robison’s label, The Next Waltz. This album has a down-home vibe and suggests the laid-back nature of life on Texas’ Gulf Coast. It's a sonic travelogue of sorts that takes listeners from Texas-imprinted country-folk, old-time and bluegrass styles to Louisiana’s singular stew of Cajun, jazz, funk and other special ingredients.
