Becky Chace & Brian Minisce

Songwriters who performs their own material as well as covers. They play genre-defying, soulful music which twists and turns through the varied paths of life. Their music has the sadness and swing of alt-country and blues ala Lucinda Williams, but can kick into the rock bravado of rock and pop ala Bruce Springsteen and drop into the lonely despair of a folk song all in one set. Chosen Best Local Female Vocalist 5 times in 6 years (2000-2003, 2005) by the readers of the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll, Becky has been said to have "the voice of an angel who just got her heart ripped out by the devil." - The New Haven Advocate You can hear some of her music here:

Mossy Moran

"You just can't believe that he is just one voice and a guitar!" is often heard by audiences who have heard Mossy perform for their first time. His deep, baritone voice coupled with a thundering velvet hand on his guitars cause people to stop and listen. His Irish wit and stage presence is infectious. Derek Warfield of the Wolfe Tones commented that Mossy is one of the finest Irish solo acts he's seen in years. Danny Doyle, Ireland's finest Balladeer, believes Mossy is on his way to great things as he keeps his country's history alive with songs and stories from the past and present.
