Hills has been sending out comedy bits to radio stations, aspiring comics, and other media around the country as well as in Califorina We think it is their loss that they have not yet utilized his comedic talent.

The youngest of nine children from a small town in Pennsylvania, RHE DE VILLE was raised singing along with a musical family: in church choir, high school choral groups, & local theater. Continuing her love of the arts, she majored in music & theater at Temple University in Philadelphia, then moved to New York City and enrolled in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute followed by private study with Sanford Meisner protégé Phil Gushee. Spending her days & nights soaking up the rich culture of Manhattan, Rhe discovered an affinity for the smoky, elegant, sophisticated glamour of New York's High Society during the 1920's-1950's. For years she studied the songwriters and vocalists of American Popular Music, now referred to as the jazz standards & gravitated toward these timeless classics. Determined not to be labeled "retro" by simply imitating the legendary singers of the past, Rhe is passionate about breathing new life into these songs f or modern generations: while striving to preserve their rich musical history as well as her artistic integrity. In 1998 she met jazz pianist Felipe Riveros and both performed as a regular duo at upscale Manhattan spots such as the Bubble Lounge, Madame X, Torch, and Caviarteria. In the winter of 1999, she recorded her first CD, Empire State Radio With Rhe De Ville, along with Riveros, bassist Jonathan Flaugher, saxophonist Mike Dopazo, and drummer Danny Weiss. The success of this CD led her to top the Jazz charts on mp3.com as well as bookings in NYC for private events and public venues such as Metronome, Lola, She lly's NY, Redeye Grill, Blue Water Grill, La Belle Époque, Blue Fin, Park Avalon, Four Seasons Hotel and many others. In 2002-03, Rhe performed onstage at Carnegie Hall with the prestigious Collegiate Chorale. She has also entertained luminaries from all over the world at the recently unveiled Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Manhattan's splashy new Time Warner Center. During an intensive 1 1/2-year study with MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) award-winning cabaret performer and instructor Helen Baldassare, Rhe fell in love with cabaret and the minimalist performance philosophy taught by Baldassare. She then recorded her second CD, Echoes Of My Heart, in May 2004. This enticing CD includes a mix of American Popular Music along with original compositions by songwriter Nancy Zigelbaum. It is already garnering critical acclaim prior to its scheduled release in Octob er 2004. Rhe's meticulous aesthetic and relentless passion for glamour and elegance fuel her vision of a modern-day New York High Society that still swirls, sups, cocktails, luxuriates & indulges. Her style of singing and manner of entertaining follow in this fashion: to bring an air of sophistication and refinement to each event and every occasion.

Joey Devita is still not retired as a software developer in the New York City area. He is a free spirited actor, comic, writer, who doesn't like to pass up opportunities to lovingly, but shamelessly entertain his good-humored friends. He knows that people succeed at what they love doing. So why aren't there more successful comedians? On stage, his goal is to have fun by giving audiences a piece of himself. He has been seen performing or hosting comedy at open venues such as Tribecca Comedy Basement, Standup New York, Gotham Comedy Club, and Rascals. He has joyfully started a counseling and mentoring process, "Kids Notes", whose spiritual intentions aer to help "Give People Back To Themselves". We all have choices on where to honor God's Ways. Joey jokes that he saw a sign outside a IHOP saying "New Lunch and Dinner Menu!" Joey asks "Why bother? Don't we just go for the pancakes?!"

In May of 2000, Jason J. Cross started to indulge his creative side. He put together several stories - mostly written by him -, and playing around with pictures on the computer, Four Sides of Cross website was born. It began as simply a literary magazine publishing short stories that fell into one of four genres (Hope, Despair, Love or Fear). Lack of funds presented a problem for continuing the venture. At this time, in order to continue the project, Jason started concentrating on making funny animations out of pictures of his friends, including a hilarious bit in which his friends were lectured by Nancy Reagan about the use of drugs. In April of 2002, he filmed an unscripted short entitled, "Unleashed." Filmmaking then became a passion for Jason. He then discovered that his preference was actually editing the footage. Jason has Written/Directed/Edited the short films, "When Good Jokes Go Bad," "Choices," "Reality Sets In" and "S.H.I.T." He is currently studying for his A.C.E. Certification, also in the middle of 2 scripts, and has recently joined The Tony and Shlomoh Show.

Eddie,song writer and founder of the Blues Unchained. Eddie is a former, Veteran, Steelworker, in his Hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Eddie worked at Bethlehem Steel for 29.5 years, until the corporation went bankrupt, stripping him of his retirement pension and benefits.
If ever there was a reason to scream the blues, in the 21st century, thats a good start.
Eddies love of live music began as a small child. He was always right up in front of the band, whenever his parents would go out to family oriented social club events. There were also several bands in his neighbor hood. When they practiced he would hear it and be right there on the scene, listening and learning.
All of Eddies free time, when not working rotating shifts was spent on the Live Music Scene. Eventually he started playing drums and then, after the untimely death of his friend and mentor Lightninbug Rhodes, he became a singer.
Eddie took note of who the most authentic, realistic sounding blues players were, at the local jam sessions that he attended frequently.
In 2000 he applied for and got a daylight job. The job, as a mechanic in the BULL GANG meant doing industrial mechanical build up and prep work every day, when he could have cruised a little on the evening shifts.
Eddie wanted to form a band of his own and felt the extra work was worth it.

His one-man show, "How Many Armo's Does it Take...?" ran in December 2003 and May 2004 to rave reviews, and featured outrageous, larger-than-life characters such as "precious" Igor, the depraved phantom of the laboratory who has discovered the formula for wooing females: a rag + chloroform, Scott the Geek, the computer nerd who's always afraid of bec oming human, and Thomas H.

L. Roger Quilter, born in 1930 within the sounds of Bow Bells, London, England, has a deep sense of the ridiculous, which shows in his writing. His acting abilities are minimal; three appearances as the dame in pantomimes and several naval sods' operas where most performers are under the influence and the acts are lewd. He served over twenty years in the Royal Canadian Navy where he honed his humor to a cutting edge. He has a keen desire to cut people who think they are great, down to size. He sees humor even in tragic events. His favorite saying, "Smile! People will wonder what you have been up to." Leslie is a part time long-distance writer for the Tony and Shlomoh Show. We find his humor quite droll and naughty!
