Electrostatic Cats are a musical duo formed by long-time co-workers and best friends Gayle Malinowski and Jonathan Czar. While most duos typically produce acoustic-oriented music, ESC plays full-on electric versions of their favorite alt/modern rock from the 90’s and up as well as original material. Although they employ the use of technology to reproduce the sounds as faithfully as possible, there is no use of recorded backing tracks or other automation (unless it was a component of the original song they’re covering).
Gayle Malinowski - vocals, drums, keyboards
Jonathan Czar - vocals, electric guitar, midi/bass pedals, keyboards

Using illustrative lyrics, inventive melodies, and infectious hooks, Tony's playing displays the notable influence of classic rock/pop and iconic artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Chris Stapleton, Robert Cray, Dire Straits, Lou Reed, Keith Richards, and The Clash.

Breanna Elaine is a full time musician, singer/songwriter based out of Vermont. Breanna’s music is dripping with plenty of earthy folk, indie, singer/songwriter sounds, but the term “folk music” does not fully encapsulate the work of this blooming musician. Her debut album, “Seedlings" was released January 1st, 2023. She performs a mix of originals as well as a wide array of covers on both guitar and banjo. Breanna is recognized around Vermont and surrounding areas for her unique sound and songwriting talent. With over 100 original songs that have still yet to be recorded, this is just the beginning for Breanna Elaine, a true star on the rise. “Generally classified on music sites as folk/rock, as the evening went on, it was clear she transcends definition. She’s been compared to Jewel (though Breanna’s covers of Jewel are in many ways superior to the originals), Alanis Morissette, and Janis Ian. Tack on an early Fiona Apple song and it’s easy to understand just how diversely her talent runs.” -Susan Johnson of the Brandon reporter
