Alexandra Bricklin

As a child, Alexandra Bricklin (Meisel) was a musical prodigy. By six, she was hearing full symphonies in her head. Great works were expected. Instead, her life work, her magnum opus, has been the raising of her autistic daughter. In spite of this massive full-time challenge, Alexandra, now in her sixties, pulled out songs and poems delegated to a forgotten file cabinet, and for the past year has been working with the encouragement and musical support of David Namerow, a percussionist, to create an inspiring debut performance at Our Community Cup. Alexandra’s musical style has been called jazz-infused folk. She enjoys throwing in the occasional scat. Some of her music is haunting, supporting deep, heart wrenching lyrics. She does not hold back. Her vocals are distinctive, with her early classical music training evident. Sweat The Truth   The Rush of...

Aaron Nathans

Aaron Nathans’ mission is to write songs about things no one else has written about before. Like a song about the bond between a guy and his barber. Or the onslaught of the outside world upon a new parent. Surely somebody’s written that song, right? Ok, find it. Aaron, who lives in the Philadelphia area, describes his songs as wild-mind, bittersweet acoustic music. He’s one of a million guitar-slinging singer songwriters, but you’ve never heard anyone quite like Aaron, with his warped sense of humor and off-kilter view of the world. His shows include humorous, meandering stories that will keep you every bit as captivated as the music itself — beautiful guitar work, catchy melodies, and his sweet baritone voice and eye-popping vocal range. Aaron’s songwriting was honored by the Kerrville Folk Festival, which named him a New Folk Finalist in 2018 and 2011. Aaron...

Many Rivers

Many Rivers is quartet of veteran songwriters form northern Chester County who, after years of playing shows together, are now playing as one band. Chris Adams is a trained classical guitarist, while Sandy Pluta plays country slide guitar. Her husband, Paul Pluta is a rock-a-billy bass player, while Jake Michael throws in a bit of jazz guitar. The result is all original music that sounds like Bach and George Benson playing western swing on Joni Mitchell’s back porch. For indeed, there are Many Rivers, but they all flow together. www.facebook.com/ManyRiversMusic www.reverbnation.com/dobrogirlmusic www.facebook.com/dobrogirlmusic

Julieann Ott

Wyndmoor/Glenside resident Julieann Ott is an intentional artist who has grown and nurtured her music right from the day her next door neighbor showed her how to play Stairway To Heaven at age 16. A lover of 60s and 70s acoustic rock, hearing Nancy Wilson’s guitar work on “Dog and Butterfly” in 1978 was the final push to learning how to play, and Linda Ronstadt was always an inspiration to sing. Many, many cover songs have been played on Sunday mornings over the years, in her living room, for dogs, cats, kids, and her husband. Determined to conquer the fear of singing in front of people, she occasionally sang with her brother’s band, did many open mics and on stage invites. The last challenge to conquer was to create her own music. The discovery of two singer/songwriters, Patty Griffin and Aimee Mann, led to her learning their catalogs, then cracking the code to write...
