Jamie Laval and Amber Rose take an exciting musical journey through Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany, evocatively reimagining Gaelic love songs, rustic peasant dances, and recounting mythic tales from the ancient Celtic world.
Jamie is acclaimed throughout the U.S. and Great Britain as a premier performer of traditional instrumental Celtic music and original compositions inspired by ancient Highland bagpiping. Jamie won the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship, performed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and presented a TEDx Talk on the value of music and arts in our communities.
Amber is a rising star on the vocal horizon. Her soaring, angelic voice brings to mind a fairytale-like quality in ancient airs and ballads. Amber’s musical versatility sees her performing folk music regularly with Jamie Laval, while also becoming increasingly in demand in the world of opera. She was first place winner of the District Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and recently made her first international appearance performing in the magnificent Teatro Comunale in Italy.
Not every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their biggest hits. But on the forthcoming TEN to 1 record, the award-winning band Lonestar— Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar)—are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs.

Tracing synthesizer pioneer Bob’s Moog’s life and career, examining pivotal junctures that led to the Moog synthesizer revolutionizing the face of music, this historical and personal journey draws on family archives and musical examples to inspire the audience.
Michelle Moog-Koussa is the third daughter of Bob and Shirleigh Moog. She has been the Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation since its inception in 2005. Working alone from her basement office for the first five years, compelled by the worldwide network of people inspired by Bob Moog’s life and work, she lifted the organization from a volunteer-driven grassroots effort with limited funding to the educational and historic preservation force that it is today.
Michelle’s favorite moments in her daily work are seeing elementary school children light up when discovering the power of sound through Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, and witnessing visitors at the Moogseum engage with various aspects of the remarkable legacy of Bob Moog. It is her life’s work to bring Bob Moog’s legacy alive to inspire people of all ages to think more creatively about the world around them, whether through her work with the Foundation or through her public speaking.
