Joel Del Rosario
“His clean, polished guitar playing is in itself a force of nature” Kyrby Raine (Ink 19)
With a music career spanning over two decades, guitarist and songwriter, Joel Del Rosario has just about touched every genre of music from: Classical, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Southern Gospel. Classically trained in Viola, Joel studied, performed, as second chair in the San Francisco School of the Arts Orchestra. Though winning several competitions with the renowned SOTA orchestra, he felt the pull to venture into the world of jazz, which began his love affair with the genre, and would later envelop a majority of his music career.
His passion for the guitar however was born from tragedy. Experiencing the loss of his mother through breast cancer at 11, he sought solace and peace through playing guitar. It was during those quiet moments in the dark: contemplating, practicing and developing an intimate relationship with his instrument that the budding guitarist developed his own guitar voice.
Through the mentorship of Robyn Kazmarcyk, (and later Elroy Jones who taught guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan) Joel went on to pursue jazz fully and later received the Stan Getz Jazz Scholarship to attend the prestigious Stanford University Jazz camp during high school. Empowered by these positive experiences, he has gone on to work, write music for, and or co-write music for various artists and record labels

Peter White
Over the years, Peter White has maintained a reputation as one of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists on the contemporary jazz landscape. Armed with an unparalleled combination of lyricism and energy, he combines elements of jazz, pop and classical guitar to create a sound that is singular and at the same time accessible to a broad audience.
White released Here We Go in 2012 on Heads Up International, a
division of Concord Music Group. The 11-song set, produced by White and
DC (George Benson, Larry Carlton, Bob James, Patty Austin), featured
several high-profile guest musicians, including saxophonists David
Sanborn and Kirk Whalum, and pianist Philippe Saisse, and included a
range of original material written in the recent and distant past. “I
wanted variety,” says White. “I wanted songs that moved me, in the hopes
that they’ll move the listener as well. He's on a journey, and I want to
bring with me anyone who’s willing to follow.”
