David Cruz

Entertainer
"If you combine the humor of a stand-up comedian, the physicality of a karate expert, and a touch of zaniness, you’ll end up with something that looks like David Cruz – and for a lot less money! David has made people laugh for more than 10 years. He has performed his high energy, interactive comedy show for corporate events, cruise ships, casino’s and comedy clubs. David has learned one thing from his therapist: the only reason she's willing to listen to him is because he pays her. At this time he would like you to know that his cholesterol is under control, he loves his mother, and he hasn't bounced any checks. How much better could it be?"

Diana Rein

Musician
One of the blues world’s rising stars, according to American Blues Scene Magazine’s review of Long Road, Rein’s critically acclaimed sophomore album, which cleaned up the 2016 LA Critics Awards — garnering Best Blues Artist, Best Female album and Fan Favorite. Guitar hasn’t come easy to Rein, who was born in Romania and raised in Chicago. It wasn't until after the birth of her son, Vaughn (named after Stevie Ray), that she found the resolve to pursue mastering the instrument that captured her soul many years ago. With a clear purpose to thrive as a blues artist, amplified by talent and hard work, Diana is plugged into her destiny and making sure every note counts."
