ROBERTA " BIRD " FABIANO New York Guitar & Vocals
I first saw Roberta Fabiano back in 1973 at Berklee College of Music in Boston. We were both students there and formed a 4 piece band called Voyage which played at various events around the Boston area. I was performing on drums during those days.
Roberta is a wonderful artist with a very identifiable and pleasing voice. It reminds me very much of Roberta Flack and her guitar skills are equally professional and impressive. She currently performs on vocals and guitar with the world famous Peter Duchin Band, a New York upscale " high society" band which has been featured at high profile events and in movies. Roberta is also an accomplished songwriter.
Along with her music, Roberta is a fine artist and as a New Yorker, she has had her art featured in venues and competitions for many years.

JIMMY BLAKEMORE Hawaii Guitar & Vocals
Jimmy Blakemore and I worked together on Royal Caribbean's mega ship Liberty of the Seas. Jimmy is a pub entertainer who has worked ships for over 21 years and is very well known from Hawaii to the Caribbean.
What makes Jimmy so popular is his friendly party personality. His voice is a very stylized folk rock type and he is an excellent guitarist. His minimalist approach to performing with just a guitar and no tracks makes him the real deal and Jimmy is not happy until everyone in the audience has heard what they want.
Jimmy has also been chosen to perform on Royal Caribbean's newest and largest cruise ship in the world, The Oasis where he performs this winter season.
