Yalta Club es una banda franco-alemana de happy indie pop formada en 2011 en París. El nombre de la banda es una doble referencia a la conferencia de Yalta -y a la leyenda del reparto del mundo asociada a ella- y al balneario de Yalta. Este doble significado nos remite al contraste entre la música positiva y las letras generalmente más descarnadas. Yalta Club han actuado en importantes salas nacionales de Francia y Alemania, teloneando a artistas como Madness, Dionysos y Didier Wampas. El grupo también ha actuado en directo en varias emisoras de radio, como On va tous y passer en France Inter , Au secours c'est du live en OUI FM , Francosonik , Rodéo de Christophe Crénel en Le Mouv' , La Bande Passante en RFI. Le Yalta Club se emite como lista de reproducción en las radios nacionales OUI FM, Le Mouv', FIP y en numerosas radios locales, incluida la red de radios Ferarock. El grupo ha firmado un contrato con el sello independiente Atmosphériques.

Levi Kreis - Faith
Levi Kreis (born November 4, 1981) is an American actor and singer from Oliver Springs, Tennessee. In 2010, he won a Tony Award for playing Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet. Kreis's debut album, One of the Ones, was released on November 17, 2005 and was accompanied by an appearance on a special Sirius XM's edition of The Apprentice. Four hopefuls were chosen from thousands of submissions. The two teams had a challenge to write, record, produce and package an artist for XM Cafe; Kreis and his team won the challenge. He followed his debut album with The Gospel According to Levi, confronting religion and its unhealthy views on sexuality, specifically as it relates to the LGBT community and conversion therapy (Kreis did six years with Exodus International). In 2009, Kreis won the OutMusic Award for his song "Stained Glass Window", a song inspired by the Del Shores play Southern Baptist Sissies. In addition to Kreis's early musical activism, his compositions have been featured on Days of Our Lives, Young and the Restless, The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, So You Think You Can Dance, Mob Wives, and films The War Room and Kiss the Bride.

Papa Don't Preach - Natalie Renoir & James Farrelli
James Farrelli never thought of himself as a singer. An actor yes, a performer perhaps but a singer, not really. After a session at his friend's studio dropping some jazz into a Phil Collins track, he was invited to appear on the upcoming album by Sarah Menescal and he hasn't stopped singing since. He enjoys jamming with the gang from Stella Starlight Trio and really likes drinking wine with Cassandra Beck, pretty much whenever. James has a day job in the City and he won't tell us what it is. But you can catch him on his off-hours spreading jazz all over your favorite pop classics.
Natalie Renoir began her career as a backup vocalist for a live show series produced by Sixth Finger. The then-producers of the successful series Bossa N' Stones series decided that her voice deserved its very own tracks and they invited her to the studio to record a swinging version of Guns n’ Roses classic hit, “It's so Easy” Natalie was in her element with the upbeat bossa versions being created and developed a tight artistic relationship with Celso Mendes and Brazil XXI, with whom she continues to collaborate. Natalie holds fond memories of the recording of Rockaway Beach, as she was a major Ramones fan as a young girl.

Eagles - Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away
Eagles es una banda estadounidense de country rock y hard rock formada en Los Ángeles, California, EE. UU., en 1971. La banda se separó en 1980, volviéndose a juntar en 1994, tocando hasta 2016, tras la muerte de uno de los fundadores y vocalista, Glenn Frey. No obstante en 2017 volvieron a la actividad estando activos desde entonces. La banda cuenta con éxitos como la internacionalmente conocida “Hotel California” de 1976, acreditada por Don Felder, Don Henley y Glenn Frey, "One of These Nights", "Desperado", "Tequila Sunrise", "New Kid in Town", "Take It Easy", "Take It To The Limit", "Heartache Tonight", entre otros.
Inicialmente su música era una mezcla entre country e instrumentación bluegrass con armonías de surf rock californiano. El resultado fueron baladas sensibles y música con cierto toque country y pop rock. Sus letras hablaban de coches, relaciones y vidas sin rumbo. Los inventores de este género fueron cantautores como Gram Parsons, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther y Warren Zevon.
Eagles encajaron el espíritu del cantautor en el marco de una formación musical, con un marcado énfasis en los arreglos y en la maestría musical, y el sonido inicial del grupo llegó a ser sinónimo del country rock del sur de California. En álbumes posteriores, el grupo prescindió de la instrumentación bluegrass y se movió hacia un sonido claramente más roquero.
Con cinco sencillos y seis álbumes números uno, Eagles están entre los más destacados grupos de estudio de los años 1970. Al final del siglo xx, dos de sus álbumes, Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) y Hotel California, quedaron clasificados entre los 20 álbumes superventas de EE. UU., según la RIAA estadounidense. Asimismo, según la revista Rolling Stone en 2004, el álbum Hotel California está clasificado entre los 500 mejores de todos los tiempos, y el grupo ocupa el número 75 en la lista de los 100 mayores artistas de todos los tiempos. Hasta la muerte de Michael Jackson en 2009, hecho que aumentó las ventas de su álbum Thriller, tenían en su haber el álbum más vendido de EE. UU.: Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).
Eagles se separaron en 1980, pero volvieron a juntarse en 1994 para dar un concierto acústico, registrado en el álbum Hell Freezes Over, una mezcla de temas clásicos y nuevos. Han estado de gira desde entonces, y entraron en el Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en 1998. En 2001 fueron incluidos en el Salón de la Fama de los Grupos Vocales. En 2007, Eagles lanzó Long Road Out of Eden, su primer álbum de estudio, después de 28 años. Al año siguiente emprendieron la gira Long Road out of Eden Tour, que transcurrió en el año 2009 a través de Norteamérica y Europa. El primer concierto fue el 20 de marzo del 2008 en Londres, Inglaterra, y el último el 22 de julio de 2009 en Lisboa, Portugal, dando dos conciertos adicionales el 17 y 20 de abril de 2010 en Los Ángeles, California.
