ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

BILL T. MIDNIGHT’S 20-year professional music career reached from the NJ shore to Nashville where he was for 15 years, recording with producer John Guess ( Reba McEntire, Dixie Chicks, Dena Carter), with musician greats, Brent Mason, Paul and Larry Franklin, the Mavericks and Billy Joe Royal. He trained with vocal Coach Don Laurence for four years (Billy Joel, Lady Gaga). In 1999, while sitting in with Dreamworks Nashville, an injury ended his music career. He wasn’t behind the mic for 22 years, but continued to write music and over the past year has gotten back to performing, enjoying the open mic scene and maintaining the Billy T. Midnight YouTube Channel.

ERIKA SHERGER is a singer-songwriter from Boonton Township. Her heartfelt vocals have been compared to Natalie Merchant and Linda Rondstadt and her original songs have a unique style and sound that are all her own.  Erika’s second album, Bad Wolf, has been released on all streaming platforms.

TOM LUCAS began playing the guitar at age 11. His poor parents had to pry the thing out of his hands and force him to “go outside and play”. To be fair, he wasn’t very good, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing music. In college, he played coffee houses and local bars – anywhere he could. Bands came and went…jobs came and went…years came and went…then five years ago, he began going to open mics where he met Linda…AND THE REST IS HISTORY!!!

LINDA ECKMAN began singing with her Dad who was a professional musician. There was always music in their house. She sang in choirs and at weddings as a young girl. She took a few guitar lessons and began going to song circles and open mics and that’s where her journey really began. She loves singing and performing and hopes to continue for a long time to come. She became involved with MOAM and AMG and met many talented musicians and dear friends. When she met Tom, they just clicked and have been playing together ever since.

SCOTT IVORY is a multi-instrumentalist who has been sharing his unique style of music in coffee shops & local clubs for the past 25 years. His genre could be best described as a loop station portal creator with just the right of campfire vibes to make it feel like home. Experience the world of Scott Ivory and journey through love, heartbreak, hopelessness and God’s grace. He is also working on his book which will tell his entire life story – definitely a tale to be told. Follow him on social media for updates on upcoming shows and the release of his lifetime catalog of original music.
