Eric Bolivar is a musician who has shared his talents with people around the world many times over. This musical journey has seen him perform with a wildly diverse group of artists ranging from rock gods to jazz legends, revolutionary punks to hip hop poets, r&b/ funk royalty to cutting edge electronica artists. 

 Born into a musical family in the San Francisco Bay Area, Eric started playing drums at the age of 4 and immediately showed natural ability. By the time he was a freshman in high school marching band, he was already being asked to teach other high school drum lines. At age 17, he became a member of the 1991 World Champion Santa Clara Vanguard Drum line.  While teaching and/or arranging for drum corps, high school marching bands and concert percussion ensembles, Bolivar would be performing in various groups in San Jose and the rest of the Bay area at night. Eventually, the road called and Eric has been globetrotting ever since. Eric's nearly constant touring, has seen him perform for crowds all over the world.

 After re-locating to New York City and making a splash in the exploding Williamsburg, Brooklyn scene, Eric got the call to play with New Orleans based, Grammy Award winning singer/ songwriter Anders Osborne. After several flights to New Orleans to play with Anders, Bolivar moved to the Crescent City only to be forced out by Hurricane Katrina. After the flood waters receded, he moved back.  Since re-relocating to the Big Easy, Bolivar's schedule has be insanely busy to say the least. He has kept up an ambitious schedule playing and/or recording with all kinds of different artists. But even with his hectic schedule, Eric still finds the time to cram in recording sessions, the occasional clinic and filming for television appearances between trips to the airport.

Houda's new album can be heard on Lyons Radio Network for the very first time!!

Self-accomplished, determined, funny and multi-talented, there isn’t just one way to describe Houda. Her captivating voice is matched by her upbeat music and inspiring lyrics. Houda Idrissi is a Moroccan-American singer/songwriter and composer based in Raleigh, NC. Born and raised in Morocco, she relocated to the the United States for education. She has been performing in those countries since the age of 14. Needless to say that Houda’s multicultural background has drawn to her a lot of attention among fans. In fact, Houda speaks (and sings!) in 4 different languages and attracts fans from various parts of the world!

Houda Idrissi collaborated with various American and international artists namely famous French tripHop rapper Nikkfurrie from "La Caution" best known for their laser dance song; "The a la Menthe" in the OST Ocean's Twelve and photographer Keith Kapke and producer Ian Shreider.

Her single “You Never Existed” was selected as the theme song of California based web series Miracle Mile Girls featured in the cover of The Hollywood Reporter for Cannes in May 2013 at the Festival de Cannes.

Houda is the former lead singer of Alternative Rock band Negative I and was part of the release of its highly acclaimed 1st album “Reinvention” right after her single “Cold” as a solo artist on December 2010. She is currently performing as well as working on her next Solo album "Never Forget" to be released summer 2018. Collaborations with Moroccan based producers and DJ's Rafa G and Mery Bennis, guitarist Christopher Blakely, Baltimore based rapper Demiah Wells, producer Jajuan Coefield, Baltimore based Jazz musician and composer Ellington Carthran among others have all made this album possible over the course of 4 years of hard work.

Two decades of navigating the music business and transforming the storytelling of image, photographer Michael Weintrob’s work spans all aspects of industry.

Created in the field where he has shot over 5,000 artists in-concert or his Brooklyn studio, Weintrob’s work covers everything from advertising to editorial needs, showcasing the live element of performance and conceptual campaigns of portraiture like his Instrumenthead series which is now over 400 artists strong.

Advertising clients like Jakprints, Jam Cruise and the World Games rely on Weintrob to deliver the essence of their story as do editorial clients Downbeat, Relix, Spin, Rolling Stone, Billboard and The New York Times.

Weintrob has acted as house photographer for Red Rocks Amphitheater, The Festival Network, the CareFusion Jazz Festival Series, and Bluegrass Underground, and has been the house pick for OZ Nashville’s Brave New Art celebrating its inaugural season.

Major exhibitions of work have been hosted in Spain by the US Consulate, in New Orleans during the Jazz and Heritage Festival, and in Charleston for the Spoleto Art Festival as well as within the Newport Jazz Festival.  These exhibitions have financially benefitted multiple charities over the years including the New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Foundation, the Tipitina’s Foundation, the Music Maker Foundation and the Newport Festivals Foundation with plans to continue giving as long as there are stories to tell.
