Aaron Lyon is a soulful Blues balladeer whose craft has been forged by the Blues of Life, Love and Loss, at no expense to his roguish charm. Armed with a guitar and an unusually athletic voice, he evokes handsome imagery through his melodic storytelling. His showcase of original compositions straddles a variety of stylistic influences ensuring that you always get more than the 12 bars you bargained for.

Currently resting his head in Sydney, Aaron has played the city’s premier venues including The Vanguard, The Basement, The Victoria Room, The Piano Room, The Supper Club, The Beach Road Hotel, The Arthouse Hotel, The Heritage Hotel and The Bucket Room (Bondi) as well as holding residence at fine dining establishments Tony Bilson’s Number One Wine Bar and Bistro, Liquidity (Balmain) and Manly’s Artichoke Café.

His credits also include playing support for notable Australian musicians Deisel, Iota and New Zealand’s Jenny Morris. His recent supports have included performances for Leonard Cohen and Michael Buble at the Acer Arena and VIP Entertainment for Powderfinger’s concerts at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

Diana is best known for her appearance on season one of "The Voice" (Australia) - ranking 5th in the finals.

At age 17, Diana joined the ARIA awardwinning
Tina Arena on backing vocals, touring France - performing to capacity crowds at the legendary Olympia Hall. She's had the privilege of recording her own songs with the legendary soul funk "RUFUS" (Chaka Khan's band).

She was quickly signed to Universal Music after her stunning appearances on The Voice, one of which was summed up as "the best live performance in the
history of reality TV!!".

Diana is totally bewitching in live performance mode, and is currently close to finishing her debut album of all original material.

Sam is one of the most experienced musicians in Australia. This contemporary keyboard-player and recording artist has gold standard credits. They include Stylus, Air Supply, Tommy Emmanuel, John Farnham and Doug Williams. He's co-written songs for and with Richard Clapton, Louie Shelton and Clint (now William) Crighton. He is also very active as a music educator.

Jazz/Soul/Funk is Sam's most treasured style/genre, but his diversity means he can "play anything". Sam spends a lot of time overseas on different projects, yet Diana Rouvas is very definitely one of his favorite artists of all time!
