Nathan (Ruler of Program) is the solo project of 15-year-old Nathan Horowitz, who began his electronic journey with an audio production class at Beverly Vista Middle School.  Taking inspiration from sources like The Beatles, Marc Rebillet, and Bill Wurtz, his wavy instrumental tracks put a spotlight on anything but the speaker, letting the melody take its place. Horowitz uses a BOSS RC-505 Loop Station, an M-Audio-Keystation 61 MK3, and a laptop running various DAWs to sculpt a variety of sound.  While most of his recordings are meticulously worked and mixed with programs, Horowitz favors a loop station for his improvised live performances to achieve what he describes as his "optimal flow."

As a singer songwriter and new pop artist, Ralph L. has been immersed in music since his childhood in France. He started learning the piano and sang in a choir at the local music academy when he was 7 years old. He started playing the guitar in his late teen years. In 2008, he started writing and recording music, then moved to the United States. However, he stopped writing and recording as life in a new environment required quite an adjustment. In 2021, he decided to get back to work and finalized his album, 14 Years Past in 2023.

Michael Tanenbaum, a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist since the age of 9, will be performing a range of original Jewish-themed compositions and classic Jewish songs. His original compositions are influenced by The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Israeli Folk, and Shlomo Carlebach.
