About Adam Ezra

Adam Ezra is frontman and songwriter for the Boston-based Adam Ezra Group, an acclaimed Americana
act defined by an almost 25-year commitment to community and acLvism. Recognized with eight awards
including “Band of the Year” by the New England Music Awards, the group tours the naLon extensively
and has shared stages with ZZ Top, the Steve Miller Band and the Goo Goo Dolls, among many others,

the band’s most significant work happens through RallySound, a non-profit founded by Ezra in 2011.

fans’ living rooms, to their Grassroots Award-winning civic engagement, the band leverages an incredibly
passionate fanbase to create a tangible social impact across the country.

About Sirsy

From meeLng in an Albany cover band to building a basement studio, Melanie Krahmer’s and
Richard Labu\’s journey as SIRSY is a 25-year love story set to a rock-pop beat. The married
couple has toured every state except Alaska, fueled by coffee, sci-fi and a mutual passion for
soulful songwriLng. Krahmer handles lead vocals, drums and piano, while simultaneously
playing synth-bass with her sLcks. Rich Libu\ masterfully layers vintage effects on his
Rickenbacker and operates a bass pedal board with his feet. Their music, centered on resilience,
has carried them through Melanie’s two cancer ba2les, earning them mulLple music awards and landed
them in the Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame. As the Times Union puts it: their songs
have “more hooks than a tackle box.” They’re genuine, moving and brilliantly nerdy.

About Margo Macero

Glens Falls na)ve Margo Macero is a fearless new voice in original, blues-leaning rock. Her fiery
guitar work and stunning vocals blend the grit of rock, soul of blues and the storytelling edge of
country to make a las)ng connec)on with every audience. Macero, the niece of legendary jazz
producer Teo Macero, was sidelined by a serious car accident in 2023 that forced her offstage
for over a year. Instead of slowing down, she signed a management and recording contract with
Bridge Road Entertainment and immersed herself in wri)ng, most notably with label mates and
five-)me Billboard Top 40 ar)sts Jocelyn & Chris. The result is a bold collec)on of songs due for
release later this year.
