Jack Petruzelli is a seasoned touring and recording musician. As a multi-instrument performer, producer and songwriter, he has had the privilege of working with a variety of artists that include Patti Smith, Ian Hunter, Joan Osborne, Rufus Wainwright and Sara Bareilles, to name a few. In the studio, Jack has collaborated with platinum artists to unknown sensations. He co-produced Joan Osborne’s album Bring It On Home, which was nominated for Best Blues album of the year at the 2012 Grammy Awards.
New York based singer-songwriter Jessi Mason sounds how you would imagine a screaming angel would; she draws you in with soft vulnerability, then pushes you back with blunt force. Her songs are fiercely honest, each of them a detailed dissection of her relationships with the world, others, and herself. One reviewer writes, "Mason travels the singer-songwriter axis with so much skill and self-assurance that every song she has is a gem."
Jessi has self-released two EPs, Hollow (2014) and Night Owl (2018). Her song “This One’s On Me” earned her a nomination for the 16th Annual Independent Music Awards. She pulls influence from songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon, but also deeply appreciates the attitude and power of iconic pop divas and rock stars.
Mason traverses the east coast in a packed RAV4 with her band, touring to cities like Rochester, D.C., and Philadelphia. She also performs around New York and Los Angeles in venues such as Rockwood Music Hall and Hotel Cafe.
