BIO
FONDA FEINGOLD
Singer/Songwriter/Arranger
Keyboards/Hammond
Fonda is celebrated among her peers as a super songwriter, extraordinary arranger and beloved performer.
Achieving the impossible feat early on in her career of landing a record deal, Fonda is best known for her Polygram album which featured music legends Leon Pendarvis & George Young (SNL), Sid McGinnis (Letterman) and singers David Lasley & Arnold McCuller (James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt). This album was followed by a self-made EP and in 2005 a CD called “Before And After.”
She has performed with Peabo Bryson, Angela Bofill & Sarah Dash, to name a few – and was featured off Broadway as musical director, writer & co-star in “Bette & Barry, Back to the Bathhouse”.
“Better Late”‘s first 4 releases were written and arranged by Fonda.
SARAH BROOKS
Lead Singer
Sarah is a powerful, passionate singer who attracts and captivates listeners of all persuasions. Her soulful vocal style is always complimented by the extraordinary talent of the musicians she brings to the stage with her. She has also enjoyed working with giants such as James Brown and touring with Felix Cavaliere & Eddie Money – (appearing with both – on David Letterman’s “Late Night”), just to name a few. Her collaborative CD with the late, incomparable jazz guitarist Joe Beck remains exquisite and timeless. Her long-time friend and manager – Bernadette O’Reilly (Breaking Records, A&R/Peermusic) was also co-executive on this CD, which drew high marks in the industry.
Here are just a few quotes from a few admirers:
“… a vocal set that will please those who prefer distinctive singers whose styles [are] robustly down to earth.” — All Music Guide
“…A real winner.” — PittsburghLIVE.com
“A tremendous singer. She’s extremely versatile.” — Billy Joel
“She can open for my band anytime.” – Wilson Pickett
“She’s sure got a lot of soul.” – James Brown
BETH STYLES
Producer | Music & Video
Singer/Songwriter/Arranger
Keyboards
Beth enjoys being in the hot seat – as producer/music & audio/visual magic maker – and mixing all the ingredients together. She is an award winning composer – and her music is performed around the country by world class Cantors and diverse houses of worship.
Beth has worked with legends such as Diana Ross, and toured with Ronnie Spector – playing on some of the country’s great stages including Radio City and the Georgiadome.
