Jeffrey J. Walker, classic rock

Jeffrey J. Walker writes and performs for one simple reason: his fans. No matter what he speaks about musically, the topic always manages to work its way back to his fans. “The most fulfilling thing [about performing] has to be the response of the crowd,” he states.

Walker typically performs covers more often than originals during his shows, and he actually enjoys requests. He enjoys them so much that he has about 350 covers committed to memory, knowing that people at bars want to hear familiar songs.

Stu Huggens, Americana

Stu Huggens, Singer, songwriter, musician and entertainer. Stu Has toured all over the US and Canada and now splits his time between acoustic shows be it solo, duo or trio to his full band, The Stu Huggens Band. Stu like's the name Americana to describe his music because it covers a wide range including roots music, country, and blues. Stu likes to take songs and put a different twist on it like taking a Johnny Cash song like Folsom Prison Blues and do it like a blues song and then switch back to a Johnny Cash style to finish it up. Catch a Stu Huggens show sometime, you won't be disappointed.

Sherry Mullen, country   

After exploring and defining a wide expanse of musical turf on her first two albums, Middletown-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Sherri Mullen focuses and hones her style and sound on her third album, “Fearless”. Sherri’s overall style has converged into a more acoustic-based mixture of rock, country and pop. Her songwriting is more pointed, melodic and efficient; and her lyrics are more personal and confident over the album’s ten tracks.
