Chloe, fourteen, began teaching herself piano when she was eight years old. As well as this, she plays guitar and ukulele. She prefers to play by ear, and has been coming up with songs since she was ten. Chloe has performed at various open mics around the midcoast, been featured on the radio, and has provided music for fundraising events.

Clio, seventeen, began piano lessons when she was six years old, and hasn’t stopped playing since. When she was eleven, she chose to focus primarily on composition. Ever since, she has been recording original songs, and recently released her debut album, “Little Sister,” onto iTunes.

Ethan Andrews is a self-taught musician who has been writing, recording and performing his songs between everything else for half a lifetime.

He grew up in New Hampshire and Ohio, went to college in New York City to study art and spent the next 17 years there, performing (in a band, as a solo artist, and later in a street brass marching band), delivering packages by bicycle, refinishing antique woodwork, taking photographs of traffic intersections for auto insurance claims, working as an electrician, painting paintings, and otherwise preparing himself for a career in journalism, which is what he does when he is not doing music.

The members of ALHAN bring many varied musical backgrounds to their exciting interpretation of Middle Eastern Music. The group features Eric LaPerna; riqq and darbuka, Tom Kovacevic; oud, nay and vocals, Madeleine Hanna; lead vocals and frame drum and Michael Gallant; violin. All of the members have studied with some of the leading performers of Middle Eastern Music in the world today, including Simon Shaheen, Bassam Saba, Michel Merhej and the late Alan Shavarsh Bardezbanian. They strive to convey authentic versions of the music with a contemporary flare. Their approach combines the diverse characteristics of the music, intricately composed and full of improvisation and ranging in mood inspired by vibrant timbres, sublime melodies, and spirited dance rhythms. They offer a truly rare opportunity to experience these rich and beautiful traditions of the Middle East.

As a member of Hall of Fame, the Sonora Pine, Tower Recordings, Metabolismus, and most recently Chelsea Light Moving (with Sonic Youth founder Thurston Moore), songwriter-singer-multi-in
strumentalist-improviser-engineer Samara Lubelski is not what anyone could call ‘pigeonholed’ in the climate of contemporary music. She has split her time between Germany, and her Lower East Side home base, playing and recording with a who’s who of the art-punk and freely-improvised folk scenes.

Her most recent solo record, Wavelength, was released by DeStijl in 2012.
