Stacy Mitchhart
Stacy Mitchhart has built a worldwide fan base thanks to phenomenal live performances, national television exposure, radio airplay, loyal enthusiastic fans and aggressive marketing and merchandising campaigns. His masterful guitar work and strong vocals have been the driving forces behind his successful career. He has won numerous industry awards, released 7 CD's and 1 DVD/CD, and holds 13 major endorsements. Stacy Mitchhart actively tours the US and abroad.
He is a showman dressed to the nines, with a teasing smile, quick wit and taste for blue humor. Stacy Mitchhart admits, “ I don’t want to be considered just a blues artist, but as an artist that is blues-based. I do my own stuff – jazz, Latin, rock – all influenced by R&B and gospel. I’ve evolved into much more than just a straight blues artist.”

Mark Kroos
Mark Kroos grew up in Lansing, Michigan. It’s cold up there. And dark. As a teenager, Mark was prone to seasonal depression, acne and general awkwardness. He found solace in music.

In 2009, Mark bought his first double neck guitar with the intention of playing both necks simultaneously. Through hours of practice, determination, the influence of his role models and the sheer joy of creating, Mark found his style, which is most characterized by compositions like All God’s Children Have Wings and Pedals Press the Floor.
The piano also brought a softer side to Mark’s music. Of his solo acoustic guitar work, “Clarity” is the album that most listeners tend to gravitate toward; a relaxing, contemplative and meditative journey recorded in 432 Hz tuning.
Mark has released 4 full length instrumental guitar albums and a DVD: Music Videos & Live Studio Performances. In January of 2024, he released his first vocal album under the name, mark kroos and the forest floor.
