Gena Ross co-wrote
a musical with Robert Stone called Bigger Fish to Fry
and it played in Times Square.
Gena has spent the
last 2 years writing and recording this
album.
She has taken
voice lessons,...but other than that has never had
any musical training.
She can play
instruments to write music- but, you'd laugh if she
tried to play you a song and sing it at the same time. I
write my songs and I couldn't tell you how to hell I
played it- I do it once and it's in Ron's hands...

Brian Jarvis
Pop / Folk / Rock / Acoustic
Brian Jarvis began creating music during a time when
acoustic guitars ruled “pop radio”. The airways were filled
with the music of artists such as Dave Matthews, David Gray
and Guster, and by listening to their songs, Brian fell in
love with the sound of acoustic guitar. It became his
instrument of choice, and an integral part of his song
writing.
In his own words, describing the appeal of the
instrument, Brian says, “There is no where to run and hide
while playing an acoustic guitar; it flaunts your successes
and advertises your mistakes.”
