Danielle is a force to be reckoned with. She's a multi-instrumentalist, almost exclusively by ear, has been in a large number of bands and is a staunch supporter of Musicians on a Mission and Albert Hall in Waretown, which is sort of her home base. She and her husband John volunteer, and perform at Albert Hall, MOAM events and many other venues. They perform under the name "Rebird", and to find out how that name came about you'll have to listen to her fascinating interview. </div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Jill Cagney does not bend the truth to be nice, get along with people or fit into society. In her music, she writes about the things most of us would not say out loud; then she sings them in public. With songs about friends who always ask but never take advice, Facebook addiction, wanting to curse someone out, forgiveness, the sweetness of falling in love and the pain of losing a cell phone, Jill’s music speaks to our everyday struggles, draws us in and makes us say “me too!”</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Jill has opened multiple times for Pat Dinizio of The Smithereens at The Crossroads in NJ. She performed as a part of the WFMU Seven Second Delay during their record breaking 60 artists in 60 minutes show. She has showcased at multiple music conferences and festivals.</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Perspective is everything, and a little sarcasm doesn’t hurt either” Jill Cagney</span><br />

Sheli Monacchio<br />
Bio<br />
<br />
After an almost 5-year break from performing and writing songs, Sheli Monacchio has been slowly dipping her toe back into the New Jersey music scene. She is in the process of recording her long overdue follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2011 “Kansas” release and are starting to take shape, with a spring 2018 release date in the planning. The songs she is writing for the record are rooted and sprung from an awe-inspiring place of becoming a mother for the 3rd time. The spark that started this creative period has also struck a chord with her to perform again and has been doing so steadily in 2017. In addition to playing her solo shows, she has also been playing as often as she can with her daughter and favorite musical partner, the immensely talented Melissa Anthony Dimura. <br />
Sheli Monacchio (formerly known as Sheli Aarden) has been a fixture on the New Jersey “coffee house” circuit since 2004. She has multiple Asbury Music Award nominations to her credit, as well as a JAM (Jersey Acoustic Musician) award for best folk-act for her collaborative effort with her husband, The Monacchios. From her debut album, Digging For Daylight, to the aforementioned Kansas LP and her work with The Monacchios, Sheli has established herself as one of the most honest, thought provoking and endearing songwriters around. Having said that, the writing she has been doing over the last year is coming from a different place. A place of quiet confidence, with her feet firmly cemented in a place happily unknown, but altogether familiar. In flight, following her instinct for better or worse to a clearing in the distance that make make for a soft landing.<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Todd Goldin, aka "Coffee House" Todd, is a man who needs no introduction. Well-known and well-loved by the Jersey Shore music community, Todd and his Mom, Dale, are the area's most dedicated and enthusiastic supporters of the artists and the venues they play. Todd knows just about all the performers, their genres, gigs (next, current and last) and the words to almost every, if not every, song. And his T-shirt collection is second to none. </span></div>

You will be touched by his story and learn things about him that you never knew.</span><br />
