Squeeze first formed in 1973, shortly after Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had begun their songwriting partnership. By 1977 they had made their recording debut and enjoyed a string of hits. Over the years there have been solo careers and occasional separations, but the Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriting duo Chris and Glenn reunited ten years ago to relaunch Squeeze and have been touring, writing and recording together since.
2015 saw the release of the critically acclaimed ‘Cradle to the Grave’ which was written as a soundtrack to Danny Baker’s BBC TV sitcom ‘Cradle To Grave’ (starring Peter Kay).

The Wizards of Winter are an eclectic group of musicians from the Metro NY, NJ, PA region with strong Classical and Progressive Rock influences woven throughout their musical careers. One clear vision originally brought this group of talented performers together in 2010. That was to faithfully reproduce the music of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) and present it in a more intimate setting.
The vision quickly grew in 2011 when the band began recording an performing their own unique original material. While similar to TSO in its style, the Wizards original material is unique unto itself. The Wizards now perform a few of TSO’s greatest hits but most of the concert is comprised of their own original music. The band now has two full length albums of original material available with a third one under development for release later in 2017.
