Good Company is a six-member a cappella group based out of the Shenandoah Valley. Two-time winners of the Shenandoah Valley Sing-Off hosted by the Shenandoah Valley Children’s Choir, the group has hosted over 25 concerts all around the east coast. In recent years they have produced countless live streamed performances and several music videos for their audiences near and far.
The Hot Mamas

The Hot Mamas are a collective of musicians creating sassy & quirky jazz, pop, blues, and more with unexpected instruments and empowering harmonies.
TimeStamp Jazz Sextet
Trombonist Robert Mott has received two Creative Inspirations grants - in Fall 2023 and Fall 2024 - to pull together a group of outstanding musicians for two free concerts exploring the jazz-soul connection.
