Nick Niespodziani, lead singer of the Atlanta-based band Y-O-U, is taking a day or two off from recording his band's new record to come perform new material, old favorites and other surprises. One of Atlanta's hometown heroes, Niespodziani's set will be a special night.

With a voice that's been described as "all embracing" and "comforting," Allison Scola's musical presence is that of a long-lost best friend. An indomitable free spirit, her organic, captivating songwriting will be a delight to Rockwood audiences.

Boston's Lauren Flaherty takes the stage March 20 to show New York audiences just what Beantown's music scene is discovering. This Berklee School of Music grad has an intricate yet involving songwriting style that is winning her fans and followers.

Laura Monaco is a young songwriter and vocalist in the romantic tradition of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. She is presently in the studio recording an album that she wrote with Billboard charting writers Ray Balconis (Jocelyn Enriquez) and Dee Robert (Deborah Cox).
