Will Ackerman
Though he is most widely recognized as the founder of the Windham Hill record label, Will is a highly accomplished Grammy Award winning musician in his own right, a steel-string guitar player in what Ackerman prefers to call the “contemporary instrumental” genre. His musical career has earned him multiple Platinum and Gold records.

Todd fuses advanced finger style guitar techniques, wood flutes, percussion and instruments of the world together. He has toured internationally reaching audiences in the US, Europe, Russia, India and more.
Eugene Friesen
Originally from Fresno, Eugene is a multiple Grammy award-winning cellist. “Friesens’ frenzied bowings and soaring melodies… sent many in the audience home in a state of musical rapture” – The Washington Post.
Jeff Haynes
Jeff is a Grammy award winning percussionist and producer. He has toured with everyone from the Pat Metheny Group, Al Jarreau and Lizz Wright to Harry Belafonte and Peabo Bryson. His music can be heard on nearly 200 CDs.The Los Angeles Times raves about his “nonpareil solo and ensemble work” Haynes brings a sound to today’s music scene that takes percussion beyond “technique” and “tradition”.
Jeff Oster
Often described as Miles Davis meets Pink Floyd, trumpet/flugelhorn artist Jeff Oster has a sound that is a unique combination of his parent’s influences of 30s and 40s lyrical standards and his own passion for progressive rock, with some jazz/funk thrown in for good measure.
Premik Russell Tubbs
Premik has worked with everyone from Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Herbie Hancock,
Jackson Browne, James Taylor,
Sting and Lady Gaga, to name a few. He is an accomplished multi instrumentalist
performing on various flutes, soprano, alto and tenor saxophones,
