Chris Barrett + Corey Balsamo + Kalliko + Gwen Levey December 12, 2011

From an era in which genres of pop rock and techno music thrive, emerges a solo artist whom captivates his audiences with a style all his own. Combining sounds similarly found in a wide variety of different musical genres, Chris Barrett is ready to showcase his talent in order to get people of all ages up off their feet as they dance along to the beats he produces. By creating music that is both instrumentally and lyrically appealing, Chris incorporates all the most valuable aspects of sound into his music. This gives all who listen to his project a new sense of belonging as they engulf themselves into the songs that are expertly crafted by the mastermind himself.

When it comes to his live performance, Chris can do no wrong. With a set list compiled of tracks that perfectly showcase the talented variety that is included in his music, there is no doubt in my mind that you will find something new that will keep you glued on what you are watching. Chris shows off his angelic voice with a vocal range hitting notes both high and low with ease, in a way to yet again captivate his audience. In a performance that is truly mind blowing, Chris brings an aspect to the stage that is easily the most important. This aspect is stage presence, in which energy levels are at an all time high not only in Chris but also audiences he performs for. His energy seems to bounce off him as it passes through those in the crowd, creating a room filled with positivity and good times. As his music reaches ears all around the world, Chris is pulling out his cards at the best times as he soars right to the top. In his first headlining show as a solo artist, Chris is ready to blow the minds of fans both old and new as he shows the world what he has to offer.

Corey Balsamo is a singer/songwriter from Long Island, NY. He picked up his first guitar around the age of ten. Influenced by John Mayer, Ryan Cabrera and Dave Mathews, he quickly turned his natural talents of singing, playing and lyricism to composition and performance. By the age of 15, Balsamo frequented the local music scene around both Long Island counties, Suffolk and Nassau, as well as venues stretching into New York City and New Jersey. After leaving his last band, the Long Island native singer-songwriter began focusing on a path towards a solo career. A path that would land him the honor of touring nationally, with acclaimed recognition and radio airplay for his 2009 release, "September". Corey's upbeat pop/rock melodies and "old soul" lyricism mesh together in an artistic form that is untouched ground for many songwriters of our day.

Every since the summer of 2008, rapper/singer Kalliko has been writing and producing his own music. After a year of an internet buzz, calls started coming in from magazines, radio stations and other artists. Since he was in high school still, he gave it a rest until the beginning of 2010. After graduating high school, he picked right back up where he left off. Not skipping a beat, he was right back at it. After a year of making a bigger buzz, Kalliko was discovered by Chris Barrett (former Friday Night Boys drummer) and was taken under his wing. Chris set him up with new artists (mostly mainstream), more shows and a new feel to music. Kalliko quit doing strictly hip-hop music and mixed it with all other genres. He kinda puts you in the mind of Shwayze or Travis McCoy. Being young, independent and with an excellent sense of music, Kalliko is on a steady track to success.
