Kristina Koller
Always innovative and pushing the limit, Kristina Koller is making her mark in the music world. As an evolving jazz-centric artist, Kristina has developed into a highly individual songwriter, arranger & vocalist. Koller creates music that crosses generations, while still embracing the history and mood of traditional jazz. She arranges tunes in unique ways, pushing the boundaries of vocal jazz.
In her latest album, ‘Walk On By’, Koller reimagines the Burt Bacharach songbook with intriguing, genre-bending arrangements. Her emotional vocals exhibited on the album are pure and jazzy, showcasing a skillful range of styles across a musical spectrum. The fresh compilation of Bacharach’s songs is another sparkling addition to her body of work. In her debut album ‘Perception’ (released in 2018), Koller breaks through the standard vocal jazz mold and delivers a group of deftly composed originals and reimagined gems, carefully selected with the thematic focus of love and relationships at the forefront of each. On her 2nd album ‘Stronger’ she takes a deep, risky dive and combines art rock with jazz & indie-pop in an array of original music. On the album ‘Get Out of Town’, Koller celebrates the music of Cole Porter in her own distinct way. She mixes R&B, neo-soul, traditional swing and acoustic jazz sounds in a tight 8 song compendium of Porter’s music.
Her music evolution from her debut album up til now is consistently appealing and refreshing. Backed by her warm and radiant voice, Koller’s music shines brightly and will for many years to come.

Jake Wildhorn
Jake Wildhorn - Spring & Summer Residency @ The Grand
NEW DATE: JULY 3!
Guitarist and singer Jake Wildhorn has set his sights on becoming the next big rock songwriter of a generation. The gritty, genre-blending artist is an amalgam of the incredibly rich history of New York City.
In 2022, Jake had a successful run of monthly shows at The Bitter End in New York City and opened for folk icon Gordon Lightfoot on an extensive US tour. His music is a mix of contemporary pop rock and americana inspired by both modern and classic artists such as Rob Thomas, Cage The Elephant, Linkin Park, The Eagles, Gavin DeGraw, and KALEO.
After a string of single releases including "Man on a Wire" and "Kids in a Castle", Jake debuted his first full-length album, 12 Rounds, in October of 2023. The album has accumulated hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify and other music platforms and continues to find new ears today. His EP Heaven Can Wait was released in August of 2024 and has since become the first project to receive radio play across the US for the artist.
In November of 2025, Jake released his 2nd album, The Last Coyote, which brought a much more focused set of songs inspired in theme and metaphor by the end of outlaws. From headlining clubs in Manhattan to main staging festivals across the northeast, whether as a band or solo, Jake Wildhorn is a musical force on stage, not just as an entertainer but as a storyteller.

A fixture of the NYC indie scene, Melomane has performed at Joe’s Pub, Mercury Lounge, and BAM Café, toured widely across Europe, and even represented the U.S. in a 2006 embassy-sponsored tour of Russia. Their songs have appeared on Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations and HBO’s Real Sex.
Their latest EP, Look Out!, recorded partly in the Pyrenees, finds the band at its most electrifying—combining sharp political lyricism with sweeping arrangements and cinematic flair. As LucidCulture put it, Melomane is “living proof that epic grandeur can be synonymous with great fun.”

Originally from Nashville, now living in New York, Lauren Minear is a unique artist with a gift for translating human experience into sound. Minear’s voice—reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, Dido, and Maggie Rogers—delivers raw emotion, while her lyrics, likened to Joni Mitchell and Sarah McLachlan, cut straight to the soul.
Minear’s transformative third album, Boxing Day was released on October 17, 2025 to critical acclaim. Earmilk calls it “an 11-song masterpiece that pulls apart the webbing of motherhood, relationships, and womanhood”. Written in the aftermath of betrayal and self-reflection, the record traces a path through anger, shame, acceptance, and ultimately liberation. With raw confessional lyrics and immersive soundscapes that blend alternative, pop, rock, and folk, Boxing Day is Minear’s most ambitious work to date.
