For those who love piano music with a bit of whimsy, Josh Wright is sure to please. Wright has won numerous awards for his technical skill and topped the Billboard Classical Traditional chart with his self-named album. He performed childhood favorites “My Favorite Things” from “The Sound of Music” as well as a Harry Potter medley. He added in his own improvisations throughout, his fingers flying across the keyboard with seeming ease.

Wright offers piano lessons online through his YouTube channel.

Sandra Turley

A Broadway star and member of the original closing cast of “Les Miserables” on Broadway, Turley stole the show with her medley from “Les Miserables.” She received a standing ovation for her effortless mastery of various characters’ melodies. She closed out her set with a show tunes classic, “The Girl from 14G.” A vocal dynamo, Turley is well worth looking into for those who love all things Broadway.

Justin Cash

Cash got the audience dancing and waving their cell phones around like lighters with his reggae and blues rhythms. Cash is a competent vocalist, but his guitar prowess is where he shines — reminiscent of BB King. For a good groove and a happy tune, check out Justin Cash.
