SPENCER DAY is a #1 Billboard jazz/pop singer and songwriter. He has played venues as diverse as Lincoln Center, the Hollywood Bowl and London’s West End. Spencer is a widely acclaimed songwriter creating witty and sophisticated pop songs in the tradition of classic jazz, American writers. The Washington Post praised his “cool jazz sensibilities” and “cleverly crafted tales.” Time Out New York called him “a compelling, quirky singer-songwriter.”

Day’s songwriting is influenced by jazz, musical theater, cabaret, soul, and pop. Day’s album Vagabond peaked at #11 on Billboard’s Album Chart, staying there 47 weeks. His album, Daybreak, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Charts. Day’s collaboration with the Postmodern Jukebox has surpassed 1.5 million views on YouTube.  His most recent album, Broadway by Day is a collection of reimagined theater songs from South Pacific, Evita, A Chorus Line and beyond, with surprising and genre-blurring arrangements. Broadway by Day, featuring Grammy-nominated artists such as Dave Koz and Jane Monheit, was released in 2022 by Club 44 Records – distributed by SONY.

His 2018 album, Angel City, which Day arranged and co-produced, was recorded at Capitol Records with the Budman-Levy Orchestra. The album’s single, “72 and Sunny,” marked his debut on the Mediabase Adult Contemporary chart. His electronica remix of the song was recently featured on DJ Kygo’s “Palm Tree Summer” playlist.

Day has volunteered regularly with Feeding America as well as Border Angels, a charity working to improve migrant rights, immigration reform, legal counsel and the prevention of immigrant deaths along the border. Border Angels has inspired his next project, La Frontera, which will feature original instrumental compositions recorded with musicians in the United States and Mexico.

KIM SCHROEDER-LONG has been performing onstage for over three decades, appearing in cabarets and concerts on both coasts of the United States.

A member of Actors’ Equity Association, she’s worked in numerous regional theatre markets, with a resume spanning classic and contemporary dramas, comedies, musicals and operettas, nationally touring children’s theatre, several national and world premieres, groundbreaking immersive theatre, and a critically-acclaimed range of portrayals of icons real and fictional, from Blanche Dubois to Bette Davis to Rosemary Clooney, who she’s brought to life in several productions of the biographical musical Tenderly, and Judy Garland, who she’s played in the drama End of the Rainbow and brings to life in her own one-woman cabaret show WWJD (What Would Judy Do)? which debuted last year to rave reviews in Palm Desert.

Though increasingly recognized for her chameleonic character transformations and repertoire of vocal essences, Kim also frequently entertains audiences as herself in her own voice in venues throughout the Coachella Valley.
