Kelley Lennon, vocals, began singing in her church choir at age 8 and began formal training while in high school.  In 2001, she graduated magna cum laude from Rhode Island College as a performance major.  During college, Kelley served as the opening act for local performers before beginning to do shows of her own. Performing to sold-out crowds and attracting considerable attention in the New England area, Kelley’s wit and banter, along with a warm and genuine personality, made her a crowd favorite. With an extensive repertoire consisting of popular music, Broadway’s best, classic Jazz tunes, and unforgettable Standards, Kelley charms audiences of all ages.  Ms. Lennon has opened for National Acts such as the legendary Herb Reed and the Platters, The Rascals, and Kings Row. In addition she has performed the National Anthem at the Fleet Center for the Boston Celtics and at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox. Kelley’s most celebrated accomplishment was her success on Ed McMahon’s online Star Search competition called, NextBigStar.com in which she won first place in this nationwide contest in the Pop/Female Vocalist category in 2000. As a result of her winnings, Kelley recorded her first original song, Anymore Goodbyes, at Sony Studios in New York City. This song was then used on the soundtrack for an independent film called, “Serial Intentions.” Shortly after that, Kelley was asked by the Farrelly Brothers to appear as an extra in their movie, “Shallow Hal.”  In 2003, Kelley was chosen to be a featured singer at the New York International Music Festival, where she performed at Madison Square Garden and Le Bar Bat in New York City. In 2003, Kelley was selected to be in the contestant pool for CBS’ Star Search in Hollywood, CA. That same year, Kelley was a featured vocalist for a showcase sponsored by Talent in Motion Magazine.  In 2004, Kelley made her theatrical concert debut at the prestigious Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, RI. Backed by a talented 6-piece jazz band, Kelley wowed the audience with her jazzy interpretations of classic Standards. A newspaper review of that career defining concert published the following, “I have always loved those magical moments you just don’t hear anymore—you know when the beautiful girl stands in the spotlight and sings the perfect song. And you know it’s perfect because you can hear a pin drop as the entire audience hangs on her every lovely note and just melts…that is what an evening with Kelley Lennon is like…”   Currently, Kelley performs regularly at area clubs, lounges, and restaurants, as well continuing to do her own concerts, and benefits/fundraisers.

Jeffrey Nottonson, multi-instrument, began his musical studies on piano at age six and is self-taught on most other instruments.  "For me, learning instruments is like catching a cold that you can't shake.  I never know when I am going to catch the next one, but I don't complain because learning and playing different instruments is so much fun.  They are my toys."  In terms of learning each instrument, Mr. Nottonson has observed that piano sits in the middle of the musical spectrum, where all the notes are laid out in front of the performer.  Guitar sits at one extreme, where there are multiple ways of playing the same pitch and the connection from string to string is difficult to grasp.  Trumpet sits at the other end, where one's embouchure (mouth position) and three valves control every note, forcing the brain to hear each pitch before actually playing it.  "Music is music.  I try to keep up with the best of them!"

Mr. Nottonson received professional musical training at Berklee College of Music where he studied Performance and Songwriting and received several merit scholarships. He has composed in many styles ranging from Classical to Jazz to Pop and Country and composes his own lyrics.  He performs in Classical, Jazz, R&B and Pop.  He manages a private teaching practice, coaching child and adult students in performance, theory, and improvisation on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, guitar, bass guitar and piano.  He also works with young singers in preparation for theatre tryouts.
