Brad Ellis, long regarded as one of the most respected and sought after composers, arrangers and musical directors in the Broadway community, is currently enjoying a newfound fame as the on-camera pianist on the hit television series Glee. Following a particularly eventful three day period, MR. Ellis and the cast of Glee performed on Oprah, at The White House for the Obamas, and broke ratings records with 'The Madonna Episode.' In addition to his continuing role on Glee, MR. Ellis can be seen coaching in the 'Special Features' of the DVD Release of Disney's animated Beauty and the Beast. Long before Glee, MR. Ellis was renowned for his clever and instantly recognizable arrangements for such shows as Forbidden Broadway, Forbidden Hollywood, Whoop-Dee-Doo, and the Christmas edition of Forever Plaid known as 'Plaid Tidings.' He has arranged and orchestrated for the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the Philadelphia Symphony and the CD Unexpected Dreams - Songs from The Stars, featuring members of the LA Phil to benefit Music Cares, which supports music programs in the LA schools. In concert, and on CD, MR. Ellis has worked with Billy Joel, Angela Lansbury, Kristin Chenoweth, Scarlett Johansson, Patti LuPone, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Ariana Grande, and Jeremy Irons, to name but a few.

ELI BRUEGGEMAN, the newest Musical Director/Composer of 'Saturday Night Live', has just received his first Emmy nomination for writing, with Seth Meyers and John Mulaney on Jason Segel and the Muppets' opening number 'I Can't Believe I'm Hosting SNL'. The formerly Los Angeles based Mr. Brueggemann, has long been a force in the diverse music scene for his stage and recording work with Matthew Morrison, Men At Work frontman Colin Hay, Latin-Funk legend, Mandrill, jazz trombonist George Bohannon, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a tribute to his versatility and skill.

JOANNE TATHAM is a favorite of audiences from her native New York to her adopted home in Los Angeles. Following the release of her acclaimed debut CD 'Making Light', Ms. Tatham has appeared frequently in top LA clubs like Catalina's, Vibrato, The Baked Potato and The Cinegrill; at the Annenberg Theater and as a regular guest with the Desert Cities Jazz Band in Palm Springs; and in New York she has appeared at The Town Hall, The Duplex, The Triad, and Feinstein's at Loews Regency.

Equally at home in the worlds of Jazz and the Great American Songbook, Ms. Tatham has appeared in several of the prestigious Mabel Mercer Foundation Cabaret Conventions. Ms. Tatham is currently at work on a second album with legendary pianist/arranger/producer Clarence McDonald, whose work with the artists Bill Withers, Ray Charles, James Taylor, Hall & Oates and others has resulted in some of the most iconic recordings of our times.
The Washington Post has hailed her 'exceptionally beautiful voice... reminiscent of the pop balladeers of the late '50's and early '60's, but with a fine-drawn intensity and shimmering vibrato that are all her own'; while Penthouse Magazine has urged: 'If you get a chance to see Joanne Tatham perform live, get moving! She's something you won't want to miss.'
