Sherrie Maricle & The DIVA Jazz Orchestra

For musician Sherrie Maricle, her drum set is a real-life metaphor for her career. Just as playing the drums requires coordinating four limbs at the same time, Maricle’s career coordinates successes as a jazz artist, composer, music director and teacher. And it is from behind the drums that she leads The DIVA Jazz Orchestra. With her band, she has performed at many of the world’s most acclaimed music venues and major jazz festivals throughout the United States and abroad. DIVA has been featured on “CBS Sunday Morning” with Charles Osgood and was presented on the televised “25th Anniversary of the Kennedy Center.”

Twenty years after they began releasing records as the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have politely declined the opportunity to slow down with age. With a legacy of releases and countless U.S. and international tours behind them, the Indigo Girls have forged their own way in the music business. After signing to Epic Records in 1988, the Indigo Girls released their critically acclaimed eponymous album to thunderous praise; it remained on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 35 weeks, earned double platinum status, received a Grammy nomination for “Best New Artist” and won “Best Contemporary Folk Recording.” Having sold more than 14 million records, Amy and Emily are still going strong and remain the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s and ’10s.

 “Along with Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers rank at the very top of all-time great duos. The sublime music-making-machine-skewering “Making Promises” is one of their finest rockers.” – The Boston Herald

Being a writer isn’t easy — #1 New York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer had his first novel rejected 24 times. Not to be deterred, he penned a second, “The Tenth Justice,” which became an instant New York Times bestseller. “Dead Even” followed a year later and also hit the bestseller list, as have all eight of his novels. In addition to his fiction, he’s written three non-fiction books, comics and TV scripts. Meltzer also hosts “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” on the History Channel. Raised in Brooklyn and Miami, Brad is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Columbia Law School. His newest book, “The Fifth Assassin,” is about a serial killer re-creating the crimes of all the presidential assassins from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald. His first novel sits on a shelf at home, published via a copier store.
