HOTEL FICTION

Hotel Fiction is an Athens, Georgia-based band consisting of best friends Jade Long and Jessica Thompson. Both women have been playing music for over ten years and began writing, performing, and playing together in January 2019. In August, Hotel Fiction released their debut single “Astronaut Kids” to all streaming platforms which received a warm welcome from local audiences and several major U.S. cities. Hotel Fiction’s sound has often been described as genre-fluid, with indie, pop, and rock influences. With Jade’s dynamic vocals and piano and Jessica’s complementing lead guitar and harmonies, the two create a unique experience for listeners. In quarantine, the two finished an album and are expecting to release it in 2021.

Music has the power to transport us to another time and place. Patrick O’Neil loves to harness that power with a broad audience of fellow music lovers and passionate musicians alike. Ever since the age of 5, O’Neil has found great joy and satisfaction in making music and sharing it with fans and people all over the world. He was awarded a grant at the age of 12 for his musical proficiency, and was accepted at the age of 12 into his pre-college program at the University of South Carolina for cello. He went on to win first place in his youth orchestra’s concerto competition and performed with the orchestra on two separate occasions at the age of 13. He was  accepted into the Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities for his high-school education, during which he led the ensemble Concertato to win a national award for best high-school orchestra. After graduation he attended USC where he studied with distinguished professor of cello Dr. Robert Jesselson. O’Neil majored in music performance as well as focusing on music pedagogy. During his studies he participated in music festivals such as Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival, where he was invited to perform with the music faculty in one of the festival’s featured public performances. His chamber group was chosen to perform throughout the Vermont area presenting Schumann’s Death and the Maiden as a part of the festival’s outreach program. He also went on to win two titles in high school and in college in the Music Teachers National Association’s statewide solo strings competition. O’Neil has performed in masterclasses and private-lesson settings for such acclaimed cellists as Matt Haimovitz, Edward Arron (New York University), Melissa Kraut (Cleveland Institute of Music), and the Juilliard Quartet. O’Neil currently performs with the Asheville Symphony and recently recorded the soundtrack for The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020) with members of the Asheville Symphony.

THE SCATTERLINGS

The Scatterlings are an acoustic/Americana band based in Asheville. The members share a fondness for songs about heartbreak, whiskey, and killings, although they promise they are actually all very peaceable people. Many of their original songs offer masterful personal storytelling, while others are steeped deep in local history. Deep in the setlist, if the stars align, a sprinkling of covers ranging from The Ramones to Gloria Gaynor may emerge, sometimes right on the heels of an old-time instrumental jam.

Russ Wilson And His Famous Orchestra featuring Wendy Jones take the stage at CAE for your listening and (safe) dancing pleasure with the launch of The Russ Wilson Big Band Dance Party, part of the Show Room Series. Russ and the band play the music of the Big Band Era (Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey), enhanced by the vocal stylings of Wendy Jones. From the young to the young at heart, Russ Wilson’s Orchestra makes fingers snap and puts feet on the dance floor!

​

For 40 years Russ Wilson – singer, drummer, conductor, entrepreneur – has worked as a professional musician and has made a name for himself playing many different styles of music including Jazz, Rock, Country, Gospel, Blues, R&B and Symphonic music.  Of all these, Jazz remains his first true love.

From the THE MIGHTY MIGHTY MEN in 2001 to the RUSS WILSON AND HIS (40 PIECE) CONCERT ORCHESTRA and the Euphonic Ragtime Orchestra in 2016, Russ helms six different performance groups.

An “amateur historian,” he has amassed a collection of over 5000 records (33’s, 45’s, 78’s and cylinders) and 8000 orchestrations dating from the turn of the century to the 1960’s.

His prolific songwriting and unique artistry have earned him the unshakable support of fans across the nation and abroad, as well as some pretty famous names (did someone say Garth Brooks?). Rossell’s work caught the attention of Brooks, and in the summer of 2016, he opened for the country music legend on his record-setting world tour. Along with opening, Rossell is a trusted songwriter for Brooks and has credits on his last three singles, including “Ask Me How I Know,” which was his first #1!

Rossell has also released music of his own, including the fan favorite “All I Need To See,” which has garnered over 10 million streams worldwide. His single “2020” was released exclusively on TikTok and received so much attention from fans that, within days, they launched the song to the #1 spot on the iTunes Country Genre Chart and the #5 spot on the All Genre Chart. The music video for “2020” has over 15 million views on Facebook, and the single plays on more than 15 terrestrial radio stations across the US!

Mitch is preparing to release his upcoming single titled “Ran Into You,” featuring the one and only Trisha Yearwood!

When people first meet Daniel Donato, they’re not fully braced for this walking tornado of creative energy. “They think there’s something that tips the scale in ways they don’t understand,” says Donato about his over-the-top, slightly manic vibe. “But what actually tips the scale is the amount of thought and analysis I put into my work and art, all of which is taken from the lessons of my life.”

Donato, a 25-year-old Nashville native, has distilled those life lessons into his debut al-bum, A Young Man’s Country, his proper introduction to the general musical audience. Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium in a mere two days and produced by guitar-ace Robben Ford, the record weaves outlaw country, Grateful Dead-style Americana, and first-rate songwriting into a singular form Donato calls “21st-century cosmic coun-try.”
