Drawing on nature for inspiration, the duo seeks to bring music to outdoor spaces, encouraging audiences to appreciate the natural world and to explore their own frontiers.

Endless Field has toured internationally in Italy, Norway and across the U.S., performing at Lincoln Center, the U.N., SubCulture and live on NPR's Echoes Radio. Volunteer activities have involved Riverkeeper sweeps, Habitat for Humanity, university residencies and river cleanup projects.

Endless Field just finished recording a new album live in the Utah wilderness to be released in the summer of 2020 on Biophilia Records.

Tony Romano Trio

Guitarist Tony Romano has been a visible part of the New York City music scene for over twenty years. Just Jazz Guitarmagazine wrote “His tone is beautiful and soulful, and his remarkable technique is a servant to his rich musical imagination and broad harmonic palette.” With a wide range of playing styles, Tony has toured worldwide and performed and recorded with many notable Jazz, Latin, Pop, and Broadway artists, including Randy Brecker, Joe Locke, Michael Feinstein, Bill Warfield, Steve LaSpina, Joe Bataan, Dave Valentin, Candido Camero, Chembo Corniel, Yomo Toro, Joel Frahm, Thomas Chapin, Brit Woodman, Santi DeBriano, Paul Bollenback, Stanley Jordan, Debbie Gibson, Kat Gang, Alex Gemignani, and Chuck Cooper.

Tony is an Associate Professor at Five Towns College, and has been a Teaching Artist for the Kupferberg Center at Queens College, as well as an instructor for the National Guitar Workshop. 

Land of Leland

Land of Leland first made a mark on the New York indie scene in 2010 with a self-titled EP, a collection of intimate and slightly mysterious songs, full of longing and wonder. Their second release, Home/Away, reveals a more complex, fleshed-out and extroverted side, weaving lyrical melodies with rich layering and elegant harmonies, and a theme that’s relatable to many of this generation: how do I figure out my place in the world? Started by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Justin Keller, Land of Leland’s music owes an equal debt to his formal education, from Bach, to Coltrane, to Stravinsky, and his long-time love of popular music, from the punk bands on skateboard videos he watched as a kid, to his parents’ Fleetwood Mac records, to Hank Williams.
