Saturday, October 13th

11:45 a.m. – Kiera Stella (Scognamiglio)

When 20-year-old Kiera Stella, of Oyster Bay, began learning how to play the guitar in fourth grade, she would sing to the wall in her basement, she said. Fast-forward 10 years later, she is now the most-played independent country female artist on Long Island.

In June, she debuted her single “No More” at venue 89 North in Patchogue. That same week, Suffolk-based country radio station WJVC played the song on the airwaves for the first time.

Stella continued to nurture her performing skills as a student at Oyster Bay High School, and she admits that while she never had a knack for math or science, when she went to music class, she felt at home.

“When she played the flute, she would move in a way that other students didn’t move,” said Matthew Sisia, Stella’s former band director. “As a ninth and tenth grader, she wouldn’t sing in front of anybody, including her parents, so seeing her on stage now is kind of a big moment.”

Sisia said that Stella’s “incredible experience” in class enabled her to grow as both a young woman and a musician, and eventually helped her take her first steps towards stardom. In tenth grade she read Brad Paisley’s book and set her sights on applying to his alma mater, Belmont University, in Nashville. “It was the only school I applied to,” she said.

Stella attributes her move to Nashville to the “collective support” she felt from her “tight-knit” community in Oyster Bay. “Through the open mic nights at Spinnaker’s I met so many supportive people who pushed me to keep going, and I had my teachers at school pushing me,” she said. “They all wanted me to chase my dreams.”

And although that dream is slowly coming true, Stella said she would never forget where she started. “I’m happy that I got to grow up in Oyster Bay. I will always be proud of that.” (Excerpted from LIHerald.com)

3 p.m.- Katie Pearlman

New Jersey native, Katie Pearlman, began playing drums at age 10, and it wasn’t long before she was playing in a band and recording on her first album. At 16, Katie moved into an apartment with her Mom and that's when her focus moved to guitar and songwriting, since drumming was not the most neighborly thing to do.

In January 2012, Katie released her third solo album, Girls Like Us.

Katie enjoys collaborating with other singer/songwriters and musicians. She has recorded drums, vocals, and guitar with many singer/songwriters in the Northeast area.  Katie also teaches private drum lessons on Long Island and drums for dance classes at Adelphi University.
