KEEGAN TAWA

Keegan Tawa is a Saxophonist, Duduk player, composer, and engineer from Philadelphia, US. His unique fusion of engineering and composition gives his music a characteristically futuristic sound. Tawa is a super collaborator, seeking constantly to intersect the skills, backgrounds, and cultures of artists from around the world. His background in Jazz, vocation as an engineer, and passion for storytelling give him a rare and unmistakable approach to composition and sound.

Tawa's newest record, "Tessellation," is a global collaboration of 25 artists from Turkey, Iran, Tunisia, Israel, India, China, and the United States. Tessellation is a Jazz album deeply inspired by Pan-Arabic and Persian approaches to melody, featuring a wide array of traditional instrumentation deployed alongside modern, cutting-edge electronics.

DAN KASSEL

Dan Kassel is an innovative cellist who blends classical technique with live-looping to create rich, genre-crossing soundscapes inspired by jazz, rock, electronica, and global traditions. Shaped by early orchestral training and transformative travels through India, he has performed at venues such as Times Square Summer Stage and World Cafe Live and collaborated with a vast array of musicians on stage and in the recording studio. Based in Hopewell, NJ, Dan is also a sought-after performer for weddings and private events throughout the Tri-State area, known for reimagining everything from Bach to Taylor Swift with emotional depth and originality.
