 Last Autumn's Dream is a hard rock band formed in 2002 by vocalist and keyboardist Mikael Erlandsson from Sweden and guitarist Andy Malecek from the German hard rock band Fair Warning.

Brian May & Kerry Ellis - Parisienne Walkways

Sir Brian Harold May CBE (born 19 July 1947) is an English musician, singer, songwriter and astrophysicist. He achieved worldwide fame as the lead guitarist of the rock band Queen, which he co-founded with singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor. His guitar work and songwriting contributions helped Queen become one of the most successful acts in music history.

May previously performed with Taylor in the blues rock band Smile, which he had joined while he was at university. After Mercury joined to form Queen in 1970, bass guitarist John Deacon completed the line-up in 1971. They became one of the biggest rock bands in the world with the success of the album A Night at the Opera and its single "Bohemian Rhapsody". From the mid-1970s until 1986, Queen played at some of the biggest venues in the world, including an acclaimed performance at Live Aid in 1985. As a member of Queen, May became regarded as a virtuoso musician, identified with a distinctive sound created through his layered guitar work, often using a home-built electric guitar called the Red Special. May wrote numerous hits for Queen, including "We Will Rock You", "I Want It All", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Flash", "Hammer to Fall", "Save Me", "Who Wants to Live Forever", "Too Much Love Will Kill You", and "The Show Must Go On".

Following the death of Mercury in 1991, aside from the 1992 tribute concert, the release of Made in Heaven (1995) and the 1997 tribute single to Mercury, "No-One but You (Only the Good Die Young)" (written by May), Queen were put on hiatus for several years but were eventually reconvened by May and Taylor for further performances featuring other vocalists. In 2005, a Planet Rock poll saw May voted the seventh-greatest guitarist of all time. He was ranked at No. 26 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". In 2012, he was ranked the second-greatest guitarist in a Guitar World magazine readers poll. In 2001, May was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Queen and in 2018 the band received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

May was appointed a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2005 for services to the music industry and for charity work. May earned a PhD degree in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007,and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013. He was a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. He is also a co-founder of the awareness campaign Asteroid Day. Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named after him. May is also an animal rights activist, campaigning against fox hunting and the culling of badgers in the UK. May was knighted by King Charles III in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to music and charity.

Kerry Jane Ellis (born 6 May 1979) is an English actress and singer who is best known for her work in musical theatre and subsequent crossover into music. Born and raised in Suffolk, Ellis began performing at an early age before training at Laine Theatre Arts from the age of 16.

José James - Just the Two of Us

 José James (20 de enero de 1978) es un vocalista americano de jazz y soul. James actúa en todo el mundo como solista líder y con otros grupos.

Se lo ha definido como un cantante de jazz para la generación del hip-hop. James combina el jazz, el soul, el drum'n'bass y spoken word en su manera propia de interpretar el género. Aunque reconoce como influencias principales a los músicos John Coltrane, Marvin Gaye y Billie Holiday, el sonido en vivo de sus primeros tiempos recordaba al de iconos del jazz-soul de los años 70 como Terry Callier y su música parecía también una actualización del estilo crossover de Gil Scott-Heron; sin por ello perder personalidad.

José James asistió a la New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. En 2008 debuta con su primer álbum, The Dreamer, bajo el sello Brownswood.​ Blackmagic le siguió en 2010. Ese mismo año bajo el sello Impulse! publica el álbum For All We Know,​ trabajo que fue galardonado con el Edison Award y el Académie du Jazz Grand Prix como Best Vocal Jazz Album de 2010.

James firmó con Blue Note Records en 2012, lanzando "Trouble", primer single para la etiqueta en septiembre de aquel año. Su cuarto álbum, No Beginning, No End, vio la luz en enero de 2013.

Durante el período posterior James se dedicó a componer en la carretera, mientras estaba de gira. Las canciones nuevas reflejan un interés renovado en artistas que escuchó al crecer (Nirvana, Radiohead) así como en otros más recientes que le habían impresionado (Frank Ocean, James Blake). El resultado se plasma en el álbum While You Were Sleeping, una colección de temas que refleja al rock, junto con el R&B y el jazz. Fue publicado en junio de 2014.

En conmemoración del centésimo cumpleaños de Billie Holiday -una cantante a la que reconoce desde el principio de su carrera como una "madre musical"- James grabó junto a una banda que ha incluido al pianista Jason Moran, al bajista John Patitucci y al batería Eric Harland, nueve canciones escritas o interpretadas en su momento por ella. El álbum, titulado Yesterday I Had the Blues, fue producido por el director del sello Blue Note Don Was y lanzado en marzo de 2015.

Barry Manilow - The Old Songs

 Barry Alan Pincus (Nueva York, el 17 de junio de 1943), conocido por su nombre artístico Barry Manilow, es un cantante, arreglista y productor discográfico estadounidense. Es conocido por éxitos como "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "I Write the Songs", "Can't Smile Without You" y "Copacabana (At the Copa)". En 1990 la revista Rolling Stone le proclamó "representante de nuestra generación". Ha vendido más de 75 millones de copias en todo el mundo.

Nació el 17 de junio de 1943 en Brooklyn, Nueva York.​ Descendiente de rusos e irlandeses, sus padres, Harold y Edna Pincus (quienes fallecieron en 1993 y en 1994, respectivamente) lo registraron con el nombre Barry Alan Pincus, pero más adelante, poco después de su Bar Mitzvah, su madre, quien se había divorciado de su padre y había vuelto a casarse, cambió legalmente su propio apellido y el de su hijo, utilizando desde entonces para ambos su apellido de soltera: Manilow.

Ha trabajado para varias discográficas: Bell, Arista, RCA y Concord, y también para las campañas publicitarias de muchas otras, entre ellas: Band-Aid, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pepsi y McDonald's.

A los 21 años se casó con su novia de la juventud, Susan Deixler. Sin embargo, debido a sus compromisos artísticos, el matrimonio vio su fin dos años después.

Estudió música en la Academia de Juilliard de Nueva York y asistió a los talleres de música del insigne pedagogo Dick Grove. En 1972 conoció a la actriz y cantante Bette Midler, quien le ayudó a impulsarse como cantante. En 1973 fue contratado por Midler como pianista para sus giras, y ya antes había colaborado como arreglista en los discos de Midler. Ella se convirtió en su representante, luego de que se dio cuenta no solo de su talento sino del interés del público por él durante sus giras. Debido a este gran cambio, Manilow empezó a conocer a artistas, agentes y productores gracias a los contactos de Bette.

Ha recibido diversos premios como cantante y compositor, y también ha donado grandes sumas de dinero para asociaciones y organizaciones de derechos humanos que trabajan contra el sida y otras enfermedades, y también a favor de las campañas políticas de Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Ron Paul y Joe Biden.

Su autobiografía, publicada en 1986 por McGraw-Hill, se titula en inglés Sweet Life: Adventures on the Way to Paradise (Dulce vida: Aventuras rumbo al paraíso) (ISBN 0070399042).

Actualmente dirige un espectáculo en Las Vegas. El 5 de abril de 2017 se declaró abiertamente homosexual en una entrevista a la revista People.

Wilson Phillips - California Dreamin'

 Wilson Phillips is an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The group consists of Carnie Wilson and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Chynna Phillips, the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas.

Their 1990 eponymous debut album sold over 10 million copies worldwide and included five major US hit singles, four of which went Top 10 (three of those to number one) on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1990, the group won the Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year for their song "Hold On", and was nominated for five Grammy Awards and two American Music Awards.

The Wilson sisters and Phillips grew up together in the Los Angeles area in the 1970s and 1980s. The three shared a love of music, and developed their singing and vocal harmonies. In 1989, the trio landed a deal with SBK Records. All three are the offspring of prominent musicians; Chynna is the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, and Carnie and Wendy are the daughters of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and Marilyn Rovell of The Honeys. Wilson Phillips released their debut album, Wilson Phillips, in 1990. Their debut single, "Hold On," hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 9, 1990. The single was also number one on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary and became a hit in several other countries; peaking at number two in Australia, number six in the UK, number seven in Ireland, number 10 in Sweden, and number 15 in the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. The single also won Wilson Phillips the Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year for 1990. The second single, "Release Me", spent two weeks at number one. Their third single, "Impulsive, became another top ten hit, peaking at number four on the Hot 100, while fourth single "You're in Love" hit number one in the US for one week. The fifth single, "The Dream Is Still Alive", peaked at number twelve on the Hot 100.

In 1991, the group contributed a version of the song "Daniel" to the tribute album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin. While not released as a single, it peaked at number seven on the US Adult Contemporary chart due to strong airplay. Their single "You're in Love" was released that same year, which scored as a number one (and to date, their last top ten) pop single. In 1992, Wilson Phillips also made history as Billboard declared their debut album, at that time, the best-selling album of all time by an all female act; the album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 album chart, while it had sales of 5 million copies in the US, with a total of 8 million copies sold worldwide. That achievement, however, was later surpassed with the 1996 album Spice by the Spice Girls.

In June 1992, Wilson Phillips released their second album, Shadows and Light. The album was deeply personal and adopted a more serious tone, with tracks exploring issues such as child abuse ("Where Are You") and their estrangement from their fathers ("Flesh and Blood", "All the Way From New York"). The first single, "You Won't See Me Cry," peaked at number 20 in the US and number 18 in the UK, the first time they had a higher-ranking single in the UK than in the US. The single gave them a hit in the US and the UK, and saw the album peak at number four on the US Billboard 200, and it was eventually certified platinum in the US. However, the second single "Give It up" became a moderate hit, peaking at number thirty, and third single "Flesh and Blood" failed to crack the Hot 100. Shortly after, the group decided to break up, departing just after their second album. Chynna Phillips announced plans for a solo career,^[9] however, the group performed the US national anthem in a baseball stadium.^[10]

Less than a year after the release of their second album, the group had gone their separate ways. In 1993, Wendy and Carnie Wilson released the Christmas album Hey Santa!, a collection of classic Christmas songs which included an original song, "Hey Santa". In 1995, Chynna Phillips released a solo album, Naked and Sacred. Also in 1995, Carnie went on to host her own short-lived syndicated television talk show titled Carnie! In 1997, Carnie and Wendy, along with their father Brian Wilson, released the album The Wilsons and the single "Monday Without You." Capitol Records released a Wilson Phillips Greatest Hits album in 2000.

On March 29, 2001, the group reunited to perform The Beach Boys' song "You're So Good to Me" at a tribute show to Brian Wilson held at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Chynna Phillips also dedicated the performance to her father John Phillips, who had died a few days earlier.

Wilson Phillips reunited in 2004 to release a new album, California, a collection of cover songs. A single, "Go Your Own Way," a song originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac, peaked at number 13 on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The album fared moderately well on the charts, debuting and peaking at number 35 on the US Billboard 200 chart with 31,000 copies sold in its first week of release. In New Zealand, the album reached the top 10 and amassed gold status after "Go Your Own Way" topped the country's adult contemporary radio chart. The group departed once again.

On October 12, 2010, Wilson Phillips released a Christmas album, Christmas in Harmony. The album yielded a single, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday," a cover of the popular seasonal tune that first was a hit in 1973 for English glam-rock band Wizzard. The group had a cameo appearance in the film Bridesmaids (2011) and performed "Hold On". Bandmember Chynna was a contestant on season 13 of ABC's Dancing With the Stars and explained that "Hold On" was written by herself, Carnie, and Wendy about Chynna's recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Chynna made it to week four of the competition.

On March 20, 2012, the group appeared on QVC to promote their release Dedicated, a studio album composed of covers of songs by both The Beach Boys and The Mamas and the Papas. On April 3, 2012, the group released Dedicated, which peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The trio appeared in their own reality show, Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On, which debuted on TV Guide Network in April 2012. In 2015, Wilson Phillips contributed backup vocals to the song "FourFiveSeconds" by Rihanna, Paul McCartney, and Kanye West for Rihanna's eighth studio album.

In July 2016, Wilson Phillips reunited and performed on ABC's Greatest Hits. In 2017, the group performed on the season finale of NBC's The New Celebrity Apprentice.

In 2022, Wilson Phillips competed in season eight of The Masked Singer as the "Lambs". Chynna portrayed the Lamb with the name "Blueberry", Carnie portrayed the Lamb with the name "Rose", and Wendy portrayed the Lamb with the name "Lilac". They became the first group act to advance to the finale and finished as the runners-up to Amber Riley as "Harp". As an encore, they performed "Hold On".

In November 2022, the group released a cover version of Harry Styles’s song “Boyfriends”.
