Stellar violinist Sara Caswell – an emerging talent winning accolades – adds luster and musicality to the group sound. Rounding out the ensemble, guitarist Steve Cardenas, bassist Dean Johnson, drummer Tim Horner, and percussionist Jamey Haddad.

Roseanna Vitro is a soulful and creative storyteller with the power to captivate audiences or stimulate the minds of aspiring young artists. In concerts, or leading workshops, she breathes life and conviction into ” The Randy Newman Project.”
