Gurland has also won three Back Stage Bistro Awards, more than any other Male Vocalist. Last fall, he and award winning vocalist Julie Reyburn, premiered their first full "co" show after trying it out "out of town" at Odette's. His most recent show was Neurotica, an all-Madonna mini-rock concert.

Driscoll was chosen by Rolling Stone as an "up and coming acoustic artist." She has opened for Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Pat Benetar and Bruce Hornsby. Driscoll, whose original music has been featured in films, commercials and the hit series "Dawson's Creek," is perhaps best-known for her song "What Matters," a benefit single that has raised more than $35,000 dollars for the Matthew Shepard Foundation. "What Matters" is featured on the new HRC release "Love Rocks", which includes tracks by Christina Aguilera, Pink, Dolly Parton and others. With performances that include stops at Lincoln Center, Montreal's Place des Arts, The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and extensive touring throughout the country, Driscoll is a regular at New York's Cutting Room and The Bitter End.
