Benjamin Lerner's great grandfather is Irving Berlin, who wrote “God Bless America”. A musical prodigy, Benjamin was playing full classical piano concerts at a young age. But by his early twenties, he was an IV heroin and crack cocaine addict. Now he's been sober for 3+ years. He expresses his struggle through word and song. His original music combines classical piano compositions and rap. His first full album is planned for release in 2020.

Benji Kaplan doesn't put all his eggs in one basket: he effortlessly crafts his own brand of neo-Classical Brazilian infused music and late Romantic inspired compositions and arrangements by day, and doubles by night as a quirky crooner who adorns his voice with lush voicings and harmonies from his nylon string guitar in his one man show. The former, he often portrays with large and medium scale ensemble formations ranging from string quartets to wind Ensembles of varying shapes and sizes. Benji has performed in a wide array of venues such as Cornelia Street Cafe, Dizzy’s Club, Rubin Museum of Art, Zinc Bar, Nu Blu, and the legendary Rio de Janeiro club “Beco das Garrafas” (Bottles Bar) among many others.

After many years of performing from coast to coast both solo and with cover bands, Benny Pitsinger decided to give up gigging and concentrate all of his efforts on writing and producing his own original music . Influenced by great lyricists such as Guy Clark, John Prine and Harry Chapin, his songs almost always contain a story meant to amuse or invoke thought. Themes vary greatly, from the humorous "Medication Vacation" to the dark and eerie "The Harpest".

Bert Coburn plays bass in with “Steve Elci and Friends,” an award-winning children’s music group that performs all around New England.
