It’s all about finding young talented performers and helping then make that next step as they begin their musical career journey. Today we enjoy two of these talented young performers Dalton Letorney and Katy Morelli who are gifted beyond their years in talent and through the nurturing of Music On & Up, honing their live stage experience to wow audiences across the region!

College Fund Band is a family band trio featuring 15 year old Jack Gantt on guitar and vocals, 12 year old Dan on drums, and mom Debby on keyboard. They perform all summer in the Faneuil Hall summer series and at other Boston area concert events. It all started five years ago, as the family was passing through the Faneuil Hall. Young Dan & Jack were 10 and 7 years old, respectively, at the time. Jack particularly enjoyed the various street performers they saw, and as they walked away from one musical act, Jack asked, "Can I do that?" Of course, Dan chimed in and said, "Hey, I want to do that, too!" Just like that, the idea was born, and as crazy as it sounded at first, the idea grew. You can see their progress online and today we invite you to bring the kids and check this modern day Partridge Family…we know you’ll fall in love with them too!

BRITANNICA featuring guitarists/vocalists Ted Solovicos and Peter Tentindo recreates the sounds and vocal harmonies of the Beatles, the Kinks, Moody Blues, Rolling Stones, the Who, Badfinger, and many other British bands. It’s a background for the youth of the 60 and today…BRITANNICA has also a created catalogue of great original songs. Don’t miss the show you’ll be talking about all summer…Britannica!

Take two of the biggest baddest, bluesiest organs you can find mix them up with the flying fingers of a guitar master and then add the precision rhythms of a drummer who’s another motha!, and you’ve got the one of a kind sounds of Fats Hammond, one of the coolest, funkiest bands on the planet! Fats Hammond is Marty Rowen and Jeremy Parker on dueling Hammond B-3 organs, Mike Mele on guitar and Benny Benson double shifting on drums. This band cooks from the first note and builds to a volcano explosion of sound. You ain’t seen nothing like this…get a good seat early, sit back and enjoy!

Los Sugar Kings is a Boston-based quartet known for their dynamic live performances, rich harmonies, high level of musicianship and ability to transcend genres with an authenticity rarely heard. In their world, respect is paid to the forefathers and traditions of Afro-Cuban Son, Salsa and Rumba-Flamenca but Los Sugar Kings also actively draw on influences from nearly every continent in their unique repertoire. Los Sugar Kings are: El Patino – vocals & Tres guitars, Mikael Mersha vocals & contrabass, electric bass, Daniel Abreu -saxophone, piano & vocals and Benny Benson on sena – drums & percussion. While all are incredibly accomplished in their own right, the true magic of Los Sugar Kings is how these four individuals come together to put on unforgettable performances. Every show is an intimate dialogue between the band and their audience, with both sides communicating in a manner that is spontaneous, passionate, thoughtful and joyous. Get ready for a wonderful evening of hot music …Guayaberas shirt and two-tone Panama Hats are optional… Dancing is not…(you won’t be able to stop yourself!)
