Rich & Darla Tarpinian Jazz Duo
An exceptional guitar-bass duo,Rich & Darla Tarpinian have been a part of the Central New Jersey jazz scene since 2000. Their brilliant interplay straddles the line dividing and often blending the intimate and riveting interpretation of the American song book. Their improvisational skills bring the listener into a meditative realm, perfect for a Friday evening … perhaps with a glass of wine and the best burger in town.
Slow Noche
Slow Noche plays original instrumentals with hints of Latin, Island and Noir. Their music has been described as transportive, cinematic and seductive, expertly shifting vibes from mysterious and nocturnal one moment, to tropical and carefree the next. They’ve had heads nodding and hips swaying at clubs, theaters, hotels, breweries and art galleries from the Delaware River Valley to Asbury Park, sharing the stage with the likes of Big Lazy and The Bad Plus.
Cold Soil Drifters
Delivering a late century stomp of strings and snares, Cold Soil Drifters are a local “supergroup” of veteran musicians from the Hopewell NJ area coming together with a blend of bluegrass and Americana which includes elements of calypso and funk. They have twice been featured on WXPN—first on their weekly Folk Show and most recently as the Philly Local Pick with Mike Vasilikos. Their first official release “Shanks Pony” (2023) was well received and they have an exciting sophomore record “Mountain Sourland” nearing release Summer 2024.
