Weehawken, New Jersey
Bria Skonberg is taking the jazz world
by storm. Hailing from Chilliwack, British
Columbia, and now living in New York
City, the award-winning trumpeter, vocalist,
and composer was included in DownBeat
magazine’s Rising Star Critics’ Poll for 2014
and will make her debut at the prestigious
Newport Jazz Festival this summer.
Bria was recently honored with a New York
Bistro Award for “Outstanding Jazz Artist” and swept the 2014 Hot House
Jazz Magazine awards in all categories in which she was nominated: Best
Jazz Artist, Best Trumpeter, Best Female Vocalist, and Best Group.
She has performed as a bandleader and guest artist at over fifty music
festivals in North America, Europe, China, and Japan. Since moving to New
York in 2010 she has headlined at Symphony Space, Birdland, The Iridium,
Dizzy’s, and Café Carlyle. Bria has performed and/or recorded with the
likes of Nicholas Payton, Anat Cohen, Scott Robinson, Bucky Pizzarelli, and
John Pizzarelli, and has also been featured on Wycliffe Gordon’s projects.
Well known for her knowledge of classic jazz and her musically inquisitive
nature, Bria is now creating an adventurous style rooted in New Orleans jazz
and blues, world percussion, soul, and cabaret.
Tony DeSare has won critical and popular
acclaim for his concert performances
around the world. He is a gifted singer
and pianist who has three top ten Billboard
albums under his belt and been featured on
the CBS Early Show, the Today Show, and
National Public Radio.
Tony is also an accomplished and awardwinning composer who has taken first place
honors in the USA Songwriting Contest and written songs for major motion
pictures. His compositions include a wide range of romantic, funny, and
soulful tunes that can be found on his top-selling recordings.
The New York Times paid him a huge complement when it wrote: “He is
two parts Sinatra to one part Billy Joel, meshed seamlessly.” Just last month,
Tony was featured at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops orchestra in a
centennial tribute to Frank Sinatra.
Special thanks to
the residents of Weehawken,
the Township Council,
the Department of Public Safety,
and
the Department of Parks and Public Works
for their wonderful support of
and participation in
