Like a lot of kids, Mike Schwaner picked up the guitar in high school. He never gave up on it, and was gigging by college. For 35 years, he has been playing out. He has been in numerous bands that span genres from funk, to punk, rock, metal, and some country. Acoustic solo performance is the latest chapter in his musical career. As a lead guitarist, he likes the freedom to loop classic riffs and run scales and licks over the top.
Marcos has been playing music for as long as he can remember, but things really took off when he moved to Vermont 32 years ago. He first dove into the traditional music scene, co-founding Cold River Band and playing fiddle tunes and dances. He later joined the Irish band Extra Stout as a vocalist/guitarist. Marcos was part of the forming of George’s Back Pocket, and he enjoys his latest project playing with The Plumb Bobs. Marcos plays a wide range of music, including his own original tunes. His passion for music shines through in every performance—he’s a joy to listen to.

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

When he was cutting his musical teeth, George's act was dubbed, “acoustic morsels” by a Burlington coffee shop owner.

Evan Harker, donning the moniker Old Weather, blends the musical styles of alt folk and rusty blues, with just a touch of emo with just his voice and guitar. Inspired by a beating heart, line and form, and the remnants of fire, Old Weather brings a performance of placid intimacy, like falling rain on a single pane or the dusty sprawl of the open desert.

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
