Reina

Headline Performer

Taking center stage by storm, Robbins Entertainment/BMG recording artist, Reina hasn’t skipped a beat since her debut blockbuster; "Find Another Woman" hit the airwaves back in1999. In just a few weeks this song catapulted to #2 on Billboard's Dance Chart.

In 2003 her hit song "No One's Gonna Change You", crossed over and entered Billboard's Top 100 Chart. Fast forward to June 1st, of 2004 and her new single "If I Close My (Everything Will Be Alright)" was debuted at radio and within weeks the record soared to the top of the music charts. She performed the song live on the Regis & Kelly talk show on ABC, and her debut album This Is Reina was released on October 26, 2004.

With a five and a half octave range, Reina has captivated audiences throughout the country. At WKTUS Beat Stock Concerts she sang for over 31,000 adoring fans. In addition to singing, this 27-year-old charismatic New Yorker from the Bronx is a proficient songwriter. She co-wrote her single "Anything For Love" and upon hearing this song, Donna Summer was impressed enough to enlist Reina to write for her.

Her fans have expressed that "Find Another Woman" prompted them to leave bad relationships, and that the song is as empowering as the 70's hit "I Will Survive". She earned a nomination for Best New Artist at The Winter Music Dance Conference and was featured on Seventeen Magazine's "New Star Showcase". More information on Reina.

Eric Himan

Headline Performer

Already sharing the stage with folks like Cyndi Lauper, Duncan Shiek and India Arie, Eric is quickly becoming a household name. His first self-titled cd, got great reviews in Penn State local press. In 2002 his second cd “I Go On” received attention for the song, "No Urgency" which was requested to be on the HRC's Love Rocks compilation alongside Melissa Etheridge, Christina Aguilera, Dixie Chicks and many more musical heavyweights.

In 2003, “All For Show” launched him into LGBT media with reviews in national publications like Out Magazine, Genre, and Instinct. He also was featured on the front page of gay.com that ended up flooding his email for months after with folks interested in the music. In 2005 he released Dark Horse to even more press in and out of the LGBT press, including being listed in the 2005 OUT 100 list!

In 2006, Everywhere All At Once contained the song, Bartender, that became an instant hit with listeners and "Thanks" ended up at number 1 for five weeks on Sirius Radio's OutQ station. He released a five song EP There's Gotta Be Something that became the first music video I've ever done. The video spent six weeks at the 1 spot on the Click List, MTV LOGO's request countdown.

In 2007, He started writing his newest release, Resonate. Bringing his life out in the forefront, with references to my family, friends, and those I met on the road, the songs just seemed to write themselves. 2008's Resonate is sure to bring light on songs such as "Little Boy Blue", "For Me", and "Protest Song" reaching new folks and touring even further than before. - Click Here.
