His gift was evi dent from the start\, and he has since gone on to fulfill that promise wit h a career of star-studded performances and recordings\, touring the world with the International Guitar Duo (Loren and Mark Mazengarb)\, and being hand-picked by guitar sensation Tommy Emmanuel to be Tommy’s opening act . Loren’s son\, LJ\, is fast following in his dad’s footsteps as a gif ted musician\, and now\, performing together\, they are creating the best guitar music in Central New York.\n\nThe CNY Songbirds (Maureen Henesey\, Joanna Jewitt\, and B.Kelly Wilcox) have emerged as Central New York's pre mier vocal group—three powerful voices blending into one amazing sound\, backed by an all-star band of top Syracuse musicians. Their range is broa d and deep\, covering everything from Crosby. Stills\, Nash &\; Young a nd Steely Dan to Fleetwood Mac and Linda Ronstadt. The Songbirds have that rare gift of capturing the essence of the songs they cover while making t hem distinctly their own. Audiences have said they literally get chills li stening to them.\n\nReady2RecoverCNY (R2RCNY) is a CNY nonprofit that help s fund long-term inpatient substance use disorder treatment for qualified CNY adults who have tried outpatient and short-term inpatient options and have been unsuccessful\, and who do not have the insurance or financial re sources to pay for long-term treatment.
