OUR PERFORMERS: BRADLEY PALLONE: Starting off playing in bands of vastly different genres, Brad is now going back to his roots as a singer/songwriter. Raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, he began writing music at age 12 and has set his focus on crafting emotionally heart-felt songs ever since. Today, he shares his music with the world in hopes to inspire us all with his personal lyrics and thoughtful melodies. LEANNE ALLEN: This Acworth-based singer-songwriter began writing music in her late twenties after taking up journaling to work through some difficult childhood memories. Over time, her writing became more and more poetic and soon transformed into song. A songwriter was born. Today, Leanne shares her profound lyrics of hurt and healing in hopes to help others who are in pain. HE SANG SHE SANG: Bronne and Alma Dytoc are a dynamic musical duo that will blow your socks off! Their arrangements are fresh, unique and compelling, leaving you wanting more. They thrive on musical exploration and live performance and it shows. From covers to originals, this powerhouse combo rocks! THE DAFFODILS:The daffodil is the most resilient flower and is the first to bloom after a long, cold winter. Heidi Higgins and Claire Pearson are The Daffodils. They write songs from a strong female perspective with empowering undertones based on actual experiences. Their songs could come straight out of their diaries which makes them raw, strong, and undeniably feminine. ASHA LIGHTBEARER: What do you get when you start with a classical piano upbringing; add a heaping spoonful of good ‘ole folk and classic rock, and a dash of jazz? A recipe that is the perfect blend of influences for a rich, soulful and satisfying musical treat. From soul-stirring intensity to classic charm, Asha brings passion and delight to every performance.
