TYRONE COTTON is steeped in the blues, mixing folk, gospel, jazz, and pop to make American music which has been compared to Tom Waits, Dylan, Ray LaMontagne, and Johnny Cash. He has shared the stage with the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama, Johnny Winter, Jolie Holland, and Grammy nominated artist James Hunter. FRANK MESSINA, crowned a "classic" by the NY Times, is the author of Disorderly Conduct, and Full Count: The Book of Mets Poetry. Baseball fans call him "The Mets Poet". He's performed his signature spoken word and music shows in over a dozen countries and all across America. He's appeared on HBO's Boardwalk Empire and SNY's Mets Weekly. RON WHITEHEAD is one of the most famous poets in the world. He is the author of twenty-eight books including Beaver Dam Rocking Chair Marathon and Western Kentucky: Lost & Forgotten, Found & Remembered and thirty-seven CD titles including the acclaimed "Tapping My Own Phone" and "I Will Not Bow Down." He is the iconic voice of the Kentucky Derby Announcer in the upcoming film, "For No Good Reason" starring Ralph Steadman and Johnny Depp. ANTHONY BROY is Wall Street maverick and author of Hey Now, What Now: What the Hell's Going Down Out There? "His work does for semi-fiction what Charles Bukowski did for the Beat movement." (Anita Thompson, Author and wife of Hunter S. Thompson)
