  • The Story Ep. 27.5 : Duke So Crazy

    Super excited to announce new guest, Duke So Crazy, to The Story!

    Whether you’re looking to be elevated and motivated or to enjoy the relaxing vibes, DukeSoCrazy covers it all. Born and raised In Harrisburg Pennsylvania, “Duke's” musical Journey began. From the choirs of the Baptist church to the multiple instruments played in high school, It was apparent early on that music was going to be his life. In middle school, Duke gained a love of poetry seeing as it was a solid form of expression without getting in trouble.

    Guided by the Zulu Queen Michele Hairston. Duke discovered HIp-Hop and its roots. He then turned free-form poetry into songs and would perform these songs during lunch time in high school. This was key for Duke because this is where he would learn the art of the performance and most of all, how to engage a crowd.

    Not your average artist, DukeSoCrazy will leave crowds in awe of the raw and bright energy that is so “Crazy!” Whether it’s a showcase of rubber ducks or bucket hats, it is sure to keep the crowd's attention. If one listens to the music, surely, you will become a fan and leave you with the impression “Wow, that was crazy.“

    Super excited to announce new guest, Cory Paternoster, to The Story!

    Cory Paternoster was born in New Jersey, but raised in Lancaster PA where he began taking drum lessons at age 14.

  • The Story Ep. 24 : Doris Hall-Gulati

    I can't overstate how excited I am to introduce new guest, Doris Hall-Gulati, to The Story!


    Most recently, Doris won a 2018 GRAMMY AWARD as clarinet soloist with “The Crossing” on an Oratorio by Lansing McLoskey titled ZEALOT CANTICLES. Doris can also be heard on the MMC, Naxos and New World record labels. About the recent Naxos recording of Hansen's "Nymphs and Satyr Ballet Suite," Paul Cook of classicstoday.com, was moved to say, "I was particularly taken (by) Doris Hall-Gulati on the clarinet." A new recording of clarinet and bass clarinet works by John Carbon was released in September 2017, and in 2018 she has recorded new works with several composers and is awaiting their release. Most recently, Doris has recorded works with Lyric Fest, Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, The Crossing and composer Kile Smith.


    After being awarded First Prize in the Louise D. McMahon International Music Competition, Doris gave her New York City debut, performing the world premiere of John Carbon's "Rhapsody for Clarinet and Orchestra," at Avery Fischer Hall, Lincoln Center, with Gerard Schwarz and the New York Chamber Symphony. About the performance, Allan Kozinn of The New York Times wrote, "... a demandingly agile clarinet line, played with both virtuosity and nuance by Doris J. Hall-Gulati, wove its way through a variegated orchestra fabric." Ms. Hall-Gulati made her Carnegie (Weill) Hall debut playing with the Alaria Chamber Ensemble, and her Merkin Hall debut, premiering Thea Musgrave's "Ring Out Wild Bells," with the Philadelphia Trio.


    In addition to her position as Principal Clarinet in The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, The Ocean City, NJ Pops Orchestra and the PA Philharmonic Orchestra. Doris is also Acting Principal Clarinet/ Bass Clarinetist of Opera Philadelphia and Assistant Principal/Bass Clarinetist with the Lancaster Symphony. She also performs regularly with the PA Ballet, The Philly Pops, the Delaware Symphony , Orchestra 2001and Vox Amadeus. In 2011, Doris became an Artist-in-Residence at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA and is happy to have joined the faculty of the Lancaster Bible College in 2015.


    An advocate for new music, Doris has performed in music festivals and on multiple Series as soloist and chamber musician throughout the world. Doris is a member of the FULBRIGHT-HAYS awarded ensemble Trio Clavino, performing throughout the US, Europe and Asia. Doris also performs annually with Beyond Ourselves, a group of chamber musicians who performs to help raise monies for MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) peace-keeping efforts around the world. In 2018, this four-member ensemble plus guests raised funds for the MCC/MDS post-hurricane efforts in Puerto Rico and Haiti. Doris also spent time in CUBA and BERMUDA in June 2017, volunteering as a clarinet instructor and mentor.


    Doris earned her Bachelor's degree from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, and she received a Masters in Music studying on a graduate fellowship from the University of Michigan. Doris is a Phi Kappa Lambda. Her principal instructors have been Ignatius Gennusa, Loren Kitt, and Fred Ormand. She was introduced to chamber music by Karen Tuttle, whom Doris greatly admired.


    Doris and her husband Andy are active in the Catastrophic Relief Alliance. This is a grass roots organization composed of college students and local craftspeople whose mission is to help those in need. CRA strives to provide support by rebuilding homes affected by natural disasters. Their most recent trip was in January 2019, traveling to New Orleans to assist with the continued recovery from the Hurricane Katrina devastation.

  • The Story Ep. 23.5 : Brandon Martin

    Super excited to announce new guest, Brandon Martin, to The Story!


    Born and raised in Lancaster, PA. Brandon grew up a youth of the 90’s grunge-rock era with dreams of his high-school rock band somehow making it big. Through high school he worked both as a stage tech at AMT (family business), as well as a local stagehand in Philly and Hershey for large concert tours that would come through the area, which is where he was first exposed to live touring production. Around this same time, Brandon’s band recorded their first demo album, at which point he could finally hear just how amatuer they were. So Brandon set his sights on the next best thing, in his book.


    After graduating high school Brandon packed up a few belongings in a U-haul and drove south to Florida, where he attended Full Sail University to get an education in being a sound guy. After graduating Full Sail, Brandon immediately drove back to Lancaster and showed up on the doorstep of Clair Brothers Audio, in Lititz, in search of a job. Barry Clair agreed to chat with him and asked him what he thought he could do, if hired. Brandon told him he’d sweep up the warehouse, if he had a broom for him. He hired Brandon on the spot. He worked his way through the shop and about 6 months later he was given his first touring gig with an established band.


    It’s been quite a winding road, since then, but here he is, back in Lancaster again; now with three kids and a wife he says he doesn't deserve, and a job that allows him to still pretend to be in the music business. These days, Brandon’s time at AMT is pretty evenly split between overseeing production, marketing and sales, and booking shows. He gets to work with an awesome bunch of people who try their hardest to make him look good, but that can be a tall order.
