SUMMARY:Matt Von Roderick Band
DESCRIPTION:Inhabiting the rarified air of innovative jazz trumpeter and heart-centered crooner\, Matt Von Roderick has been hailed as “a post-millennial Chet Baker” by the New York Times and “a top-drawer trumpeter who also sings like an angel obscured by a storm cloud” by JazzTimes Magazine. \nMatt’s uplifting message and poignant sound have been featured among the world’s most celebrated venues\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you can imagine a one-of-a-kind trumpet virtuosity paired with dreamy vocals\, deeply authentic jazz roots and soaring soundscapes\, you’re beginning to conjure the artistry of Matt Von Roderick. \nVon Roderick has enjoyed working with many of the most respected names in jazz and beyond\, including Brad Mehldau\, Kenny Werner\, Antonio Sanchez\, Chris Potter\, Neil Diamond\, Dionne Warwick and The Saturday Night Live Band. Von Roderick and his clarion tone have appeared in numerous film and television spots including SNL and The Ellen Show\, as well as at events with best-selling author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson. Matt was named the 1st place winner of The Independent Music Awards Jazz Category as judged by progressive Rock icon Lou Reed\, awarded as finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition\, and was a recipient of the Vilar Global Fellowship\, dubbed the “Rhodes Scholarship” of the performing arts by The New York Times. \nVon Roderick often combines his classic\, lush tones with adventurous vocal/trumpet multi-phonics\, a dash of loops and contemporary spoken word to create what the International Trumpet Guild calls “exquisite”\, while Downbeat Magazine describes his musical approach as being “Zen-like”. \nMatt Von Roderick prioritizes the spiritual aspects of music. He genuinely loves his audiences — it is his great joy to bring you joy.

SUMMARY:Sheila E. & The E-Train
DESCRIPTION:Sheila E. \n\nGuided by the forces of family\, faith\, and music\, Sheila E. has made a name for herself as one of the most talented musical icons over the decades. With a fearless nature and a passion for sharing her gifts with others\, Sheila truly follows the beat of her own drum. She touches the lives of so many\, with her dynamic music career at the heart of everything. Sheila’s eagerness to share her music\, openness as an author\, and fire for her ministry make her such a relatable\, inspirational figure for people of all ages. \nBorn into a musical family\, Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E.) has been driven by an inner rhythm her entire life. As a young girl\, she was immersed in the diverse music scenes of the Bay Area—influenced and inspired by her percussionist father Pete Escovedo; musical uncles Coke Escovedo\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Mario Escovedo\, and Javier Escovedo; and godfather Tito Puente. Growing up in the Escovedo household\, musical instruments were for everyone. “Nobody cared as long as you could keep time (or have a good time)\,” she writes in her memoir\, The Beat Of My Own Drum. \nAt the age of 5\, Sheila gave her first public performance for an audience of 3\,000\, appearing alongside her dad. It was while on that stage playing a drum solo that Sheila first realized she was going to be a percussionist. Five decades later\, and the beat that has always driven her is showing no signs of slowing down. The famous drummer\, singer\, songwriter\, author\, humanitarian\, and icon is following the beat of her own drum. She considers music to be the purest form of self-expression and the one true love of her life.

SUMMARY:Sheila E. & The E-Train
DESCRIPTION:Sheila E. \n\nGuided by the forces of family\, faith\, and music\, Sheila E. has made a name for herself as one of the most talented musical icons over the decades. With a fearless nature and a passion for sharing her gifts with others\, Sheila truly follows the beat of her own drum. She touches the lives of so many\, with her dynamic music career at the heart of everything. Sheila’s eagerness to share her music\, openness as an author\, and fire for her ministry make her such a relatable\, inspirational figure for people of all ages. \nBorn into a musical family\, Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E.) has been driven by an inner rhythm her entire life. As a young girl\, she was immersed in the diverse music scenes of the Bay Area—influenced and inspired by her percussionist father Pete Escovedo; musical uncles Coke Escovedo\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Mario Escovedo\, and Javier Escovedo; and godfather Tito Puente. Growing up in the Escovedo household\, musical instruments were for everyone. “Nobody cared as long as you could keep time (or have a good time)\,” she writes in her memoir\, The Beat Of My Own Drum. \nAt the age of 5\, Sheila gave her first public performance for an audience of 3\,000\, appearing alongside her dad. It was while on that stage playing a drum solo that Sheila first realized she was going to be a percussionist. Five decades later\, and the beat that has always driven her is showing no signs of slowing down. The famous drummer\, singer\, songwriter\, author\, humanitarian\, and icon is following the beat of her own drum. She considers music to be the purest form of self-expression and the one true love of her life.
