"Music and Theater Innovators" is a new series founded and curated by the former Broadway Performer and Billboard Featured Indie Singer Songwriter Nicola Vazquez.

These shows gather 4 such established local powerhouse artists on a single bill performing their material in the round (taking turns while seated on the stage together), often in impromptu collaboration, along with storytelling.
A little bit about the performers/composers/lyricists:

Sylvana Joyce
Balkan infused Drama Rock
“Sylvana is basically a human carnival. Her ability to inhabit a song's lyrics and create several diverse characters within the same set while retaining her own personal energy reminds me of the great vaudeville belters -- a Nora Bayes or even a Judy Garland”
