Friday Music Series: Oliver Burdo

Born and raised in the rustbelt of Western New York, Oliver has drawn inspiration from a society that has weathered troubled waters. These waters, though, do not present defeat, but they are merely a weight that is carried and overcome. It is that journey that Oliver musically and lyrically seeks to present. Oliver's live performances are stripped down musically and presented in an ageless fashion. A man and his guitar... Though, often he seeks the intricacies and comfort of ambient and found sounds in and out of the studio. His array of songwriting influences span decades and often find their way into Oliver's writing style. From old 20's big bands to the beatnik culture, from Bob Dylan to Jeff Tweedy, Oliver spins his influences into his own eclectic sound. 

He is a founding member of the bands St. Vith and Black Glasses, with whom he has warmed up stages for members of the Jerry Garcia Band, Dave Matthews Band, Trey Anastasio Band, Matisyahu, and artists such as Tony Trischka and Zach Nugent.

Oliver has found his home nestled within the valley's of the Finger Lakes in New York State. He is a familiar face in the local music scene, consistently gigging in and around the region. This regular presence provides ample opportunities for fans and music enthusiasts to experience Oliver's unique sound and style.

Friday Music Series: Rozlyn

With raw vocals and nothing held back, Rozlyn delivers a clear sense of her innermost thoughts. The effortless power of her voice combined with honest and unapologetic lyrical content leaves listeners feeling a genuine emotional connection.

Rozlyn Menachof is a young, emerging artist from Rochester, NY. She was always drawn to music from an early age, and her parents fostered this passion by exposing her to many outlets for live music performances. She quickly became involved with piano and dance lessons by the age of 4; as she grew up, she also became involved with voice lessons, musical theatre, and songwriting. By age 15, she was taking 2 weekly vocal lessons with Susanna Adams and Vicky Mejia Yepes and was involved in the Rochester Contemporary School of Music "I'm in the Band" Program. There, she began to explore songwriting and music directing. 

 

Back in Rochester, after studying vocal performance, songwriting, and music business at Berklee College of Music, she cultivates a timeless soul feel that blends R&B, Jazz, Pop, and Rock. Her biggest influences include Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, Erykah Badu, Moonchild, H.E.R., Grace Potter, Carole King, Joss Stone, and Pj Morton.
