DON ELLIKER: Born in the canyons of Manhattan Island, raised on the cliffs of the Palisades, Don has been a musician almost from birth. Principally a vocalist as a baby, he later moved to percussion followed by a love of all things strings. He writes and performs his own music. He has performed in Madison Square basement many times and rubbed elbows in public performance with several famous people who would prefer we didn’t mention them here as well as won the MTV Beach House Band Search, a songwriting and performance contest sponsored by MTV (when they were a music channel). He detests writing bios and prefers that you listen to his music and form your own opinion and then keep it to yourself. He does have CDs to sell, and it always makes him easier to get along with when listeners buy them. Artist Website:

MIKE HERZ: Since 2013, New Jersey-based singer-songwriter Mike Herz has been crafting albums that blend poignant lyricism with disarming honesty, earning him a reputation for his sharp turns of phrase and evocative storytelling. He’s performed up and down the East Coast and beyond, with featured appearances at the NJ Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and Rocky Mountain Folk Festival. His latest release, Fine Stories, is a five-song collection that finds beauty in life’s detours and the poetry hidden in everyday setbacks. With warm acoustic textures, intimate storytelling, and emotive cello accompaniment, Herz creates music that’s equal parts wry, wistful, and deeply human. From mismatched socks to transatlantic heartbreak, Fine Stories captures what Herz does best — finding truth and connection in the small moments that make us who we are. Artist Website:

ROUTE ONE: Route One (Mikal Federici & Anna Savchuk) is a singer/songwriter duo formed in 2024, in Asheville, North Carolina. Following the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the pair moved north, resettling in Warwick, N.Y. With scores of clever and catchy original music, along with handfuls of complementary covers, Route One touches on notes of folk, pop, rock and blues, combining the standard musical forms into a package that is all their own. Between sweet, mellifluous harmonies, shadowy minor-key pieces, or charging rock progressions, Route One explores the range of the American musical idiom, with lyrical content that does just the same. The clean, unburdened two-piece arrangement between Federici & Savchuk gives listeners a chance to connect with both the duo and the songs they deliver, making for intimate performances audiences are sure to remember.
