To say Tedi Brunetti has “seen everything” during her career in music would be a vast understatement. The drummer, singer and songwriter from Pittsburgh grew up listening to songs on a transistor radio while banging away on a hamper and old hat boxes. Describing herself as a “sober Janis Joplin meeting Steely Dan in Memphis,” it wasn’t long before Tedi was touring with New York City’s The Impalas, Toronto’s infamous B-Girls and performing with Isis’ Carol MacDonald before finally deciding to launch her solo career. Tedi wraps the psyche in luscious vocals. Each song charming and engaging you in an intimate conversation, as you forget she's singing, the story unfolds. Tedi balances her humorous observations and mature intention lyrically while she drives and defines the band from her drum throne. She may yet be the Queen of Pittsburgh! Tedi’s current music project is a full-length album titled Queen of Pittsburgh. It will feature a mix of songs ranging from blues shuffles to more eclectic originals clearly influenced by classic rock, jazz and blues. Queen of Pittsburgh is being produced by Dean Allen Sargent ( Public Enemy, Taylor Dayne, Blue Oyster Cult,) who also co-wrote some of the tracks and Michael Henegan (Sonny Rhodes, Lonnie Shields, Randy Lippincott). The album is slated for a 2021 release and will be available on all major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon. Physical copies will be available for purchase via her official website. When she isn’t working on music, Tedi spends much of her time traveling, often visiting several major cities in one trip. She and her husband have hit the road to enjoy BBQ in hotspots like Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, Austin and San Antonio. They are also fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers and Penguins and have traveled to see the teams play several road games over the years. Tedi loves to cook for her family, seeing herself as the “Italian grandma who cooks for all the holidays.”https://tedibrunetti.com

Bennett, formerly E. Bennett, a transgender singer/rapper and songwriter. Raised in New York City, Bennett's passion for music started as young as 2 years old. Growing up in the chaos of the city, music helped raise him. With diversity around every corner, he soon fell in love with all genres of music. Early on, he gained inspiration from singers like Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson, and the artists out today like Chris Brown, The Weeknd, and Drake. “Growing up transgender was not easy and what made it easier was having music with emotional and heart felt lyrics to be able to express what I could not.”​In 2012, Bennett got his start as an entertainer when he was signed to Look A Likes USA as a Justin Bieber impersonator. He traveled all over the country performing Justin’s songs and dances in baseball stadiums and special events, all of which he sang live and carefully learned the dances to go with the songs. After his contract was up, he decided he was going to become his own artist and start making his own music.​Having gone through many trials and tribulations, years of dedication and not giving up, he soon found his way to making music his life. He has gone on to work with artists like Bizarre from D12 and Dribbz, a talented artist from the U.K.; producers like Eldar-Q and Legion Beats. Having released 3 albums and much more music on the way, he is currently releasing his new docu-series called "Being Bennett" on YouTube, where he goes in depth about his life as a transgender musician. He looks forward to the next chapter in his music career as he continues to grow and mature as an artist.https://www.imbennettmusic.com
