Tom Doughty
Great painters paint, but great artists create…. Rembrandt did it with shadows and light, Van Gogh with texture, Picasso with shape. Edward Hopper took the seemingly ordinary and transformed it into the extraordinary. Tom Doughty is also a great artist, one whose canvas is music. “He is one of the most original new artists I have heard in a long time. With his unique approach to guitar and his vocal interpretations of traditional and his original tunes, he has managed to create music that is all his own." So says Woody Mann, himself an acknowledged master of the instrument.

Eric Mingus
Eric Mingus was born in New York City on July 8, 1964. He grew up through a maze of twists and turns, some musical, some just bizarre. There was the teenage gig as a lighting and stage director for a Borscht Belt comedy club, an early 20s stint as an amateur boxer, and of course, three months spent as house martini mixer in the boardroom of the Old Grandad whiskey company. All along, music was a staple.
