BIOGRAPHIES

She enjoys singing and playing an eclectic mix of music on guitar. As a founding member of Trio Sefardi, a Sephardic traditional music group, she has performed in the Emerson Ave Salon in the past. Ann Midgette wrote in the Washington Post, “Gaeta’s voice is compelling”.

Mike Sobel began his musical journey at an early age, first playing trumpet and later focusing on guitar and mandolin. He discovered the blues and rock’n’roll early on, but turned to jazz in his twenties. Mike has studied jazz guitar extensively with teachers including Paul Bollenback, Andreas Oberg, and Martin Taylor. He performed as a pit musician with AMS (42d Street, Chicago), the Little Theater of Alexandria (Oklahoma, Das Barbecu), and the Reston Players (Curtains). Over the last several decades, he has organized and managed a jazz jam session out of his studio in Northern Virginia with a rotating cast of musicians. More recently, he has focused on his solo guitar skills and as a vocal accompanist. Mike can also be seen performing with his daughter Gina, a professional musician from Charlottesville, VA.
