Gary
G.
At the age of 17 Gary Garcia started in the Entertainment Business as a professional backup dancer for Latin Pop/Tejano Artist Amber Rose. Choreography, was Gary's first passion. His energetic moves on stage and on the dance floor will make you want to get up off your seat and boogie on down with him. The Amber Rose group toured, and entertained for a few years nation wide. They opened for Comedian Paul Rodriguez's "Cheese N Macaroni Comedy Tour". Gary also appeared performing in Telemundo's "Maria Conchita Alonso Show" in Hollywood, California in 1998.
Also, Gary was discovered by a television producer Sam Riddle. Mr. Riddle's idea was to gather up four talented young men who could sing and dance and created this "Boy Band" which was very popular in the 90's. This is when Gary's singing career started. This tour gave him the opportunity to appear in the Travel Channel's talent show "Destination Stardom" in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1999. WOW!
Gary has Entertainment in his blood, the whole family can sing! Gary loves to sing everything from the Oldies, Disco, Country & Motown. His Idol at the moment is Elvis Presley. He SOUNDS and MOVES just like a young Elvis. Jazz, Blues and Diamonds loves and welcomes this guy! Gary G. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gary.garcia.359

Miriam Feazell Molinet
Born and raised in New Orleans, Miriam started singing at the age of twelve. Performed with various groups and bands. The most impressive of them would be the late Dave Brubeck.
Her father was a Babtist preacher so her roots are related to Gospel in her early years. Studied voice at South Eastern University and Sanford University. She trained in classical but made the transition to Jazz in the late 1980s. Miriam is a very strong vocalist with tons of personality and a joy to work with.
Miriam’s influences are Julie London, Diana Krall, Etta James and the Carpenters. She also hits the blues hard and heavy. Actually she can perform just about anything but preference is with Jazz and Blues.
