"Take uncompromising sax, guitar, bass and vibes musicians, infuse with world music from Brazil, Latin America, Afro-Cuba and India, and allow free-flowing original composition - that's the core essence of Kombu Combo.
Kombu Combo brings together some of the finest jazz musicians on the East Coast. To date the band has released two CDs, and is working on their third, due out early 2012. The original compositions on these tracks range from dark, menacing works that take influence from African rhythms, to bright, light Samba styles that conjure up Brazilian street parties, to funk and (almost!) straight ahead jazz."

HEADLINER
Kevin Sarkissian

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kevin Sarkissian started playing guitar and writing music in his teenage years. He was heavily influenced by the songs of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and The Beatles. Kevin compares writing a song to taking a picture. Some people use a camera to capture a special moment in their lives, he writes a song. To date he has written over 100 songs - some serious, some humorous - yet always from the heart. He's been singing in the tri-state area for many years at local pubs and restaurants. He also plays and sings regularly with his wife, Clare, at churches in the Wilmington area. Over the years they have recorded three albums of some of their original songs. Tonight Kevin is sharing the stage with their youngest son, Dan, who is also an accomplished singer/songwriter. This should prove to be a special evening at "The Flash".

Dan Sarkissian

ABOUT THE ARTIST
They say as we grow in life, we often acquire traits from those who nurture us along the way.  32 year old singer-song writer Dan Sarkissian embodies this theory, proving one's musical journey can be greatly enhanced when one's upbringing bleeds musical synergy.  A veteran to the stage, Sarkissian has been performing for nearly half his life.  Born into a real world Partridge family, he combines his folk upbringing with youthful exuberance and a soulful vibe to consume and captivate audiences throughout the tri-state area.  He draws upon his roots in percussion (a drummer since the age of two) to concoct a guitar style uniquely his own, and with a voice molded by the likes of John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Coldplay and the Counting Crows, Sarkissian is one performer you will not want to miss. Sarkissian will perform songs from his upcoming album.

Bogey Phillips

ABOUT THE ARTIST
The four members of Bogey Phillips met while working as commercial fishermen on the same expedition on an ocean vessel somewhere in the Mid Atlantic. Together the four lads spent their nights playing music, drinking whiskey, and dreaming about starting their own unique Irish Folk group in America. Their band would play folk standards of Ireland and America, Acoustic Rock Music, and original compositions. One especially dreary morning these dreams became a reality. George, Brad, Archie, and Phil decided to stage a mutiny by jumping ship and sailing on a small lifeboat together to the shores of America. The lifeboat landed in the great city of Philadelphia, and Bogey Phillips together came ashore and brought their music to the people of the city.

Mad-Sweet Pangs draws their outrageously heady sound from too many genres to even attempt listing, and too many influences to even begin naming.

Marshall Crenshaw

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Over 25 years since breaking through to critical and commercial acclaim with his 1982 self-titled debut and its infectious, era defining pop hit "Someday, Someway," Marshall Crenshaw creates an incredible new chapter in his career with his 429 Records debut Jaggedland. Crenshaw's first studio recording in more than six years is his most musically dynamic and lyrically intimate collection yet.

Classic Crenshaw attributes including an indelible sense of melody and tuneful essence combine to create a rich warmth and intimacy on every song of Jaggedland. The recording has a powerful vibe of immediacy thanks to Crenshaw's warm vocals and riveting guitar work. He takes the production to its highest levels working with a roster of well known musical heroes and veteran producers. Crenshaw first recorded two tracks in Upstate New York with Stewart Lerman (The Roches, Dar Williams), the melancholy "Sunday Blues" and the fiery rocker "Someone Told Me." Crenshaw did seven of the tracks at Sage and Sound Studios in Los Angeles with producer/engineer Jerry Boys (REM, Richard Thompson, Buena Vista Social Club).  Simply put, the 12 songs are musical observations about the human experience, mortality, the state of the world and of course, love as viewed through the inimitable Crenshaw perspective. 

As Crenshaw was developing Jaggedland's mix of poignant and incisive love songs and musings on mortality, he ventured once again into the film world, co-penning the title track to the hilarious, critically acclaimed John C. Reilly film "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story"; the track was nominated for a 2008 Golden Globe and a 2008 Grammy Award. Over the last few years, Crenshaw has played 40 - 50 shows a year on what he dubs "the NPR singer-songwriter circuit." Says Crenshaw, "This album took a lot of wear and tear on my emotions, but in the end I think it's one of my best ever and I am so excited to have worked with so many of my favorite players on it. When people ask me why I keep making music after all these years, I have a simple answer: because I have to. For lack of a more colorful term, there is truly something magical to it and I never take it for granted."
