What do you get when you combine a powerhouse female
bass-playing vocalist with a gruff-voiced virtuoso blues guitarist and a
chameleon-esque drummer who can play (and sing) just about anything? Kerry
Hiles, Rob Thompson and Kristo Zondagh combine their respective talents and
professional experience, impressing audiences countrywide with their touring trio
called Misery Loves Company. Together they perform hit tribute shows, cover
band material, and original songs to rave reviews.
My Story with the Blues
"My definition of the blues is the naked cry of the
human heart longing to be in union with God." - Dion DiMucci
Rob Thompson, PE-based blues guitarist aficionado, uncovers
his personal journey in discovering this enigmatic movement in music. From the
Latin influence of Carlos Santana, to B.B. King and Little Walter, to more
contemporary artists like Dan Patlansky and even Rob's own original
compositions. Supported by Kristo Zondagh on drums and vocals with Kerry Hiles
on bass, Thompson's passionate playing and singing interspersed with anecdotes
has received glowing reviews.

The Story of Eva Cassidy
She never wrote her own music. She never sang her own songs.
Her most important album was self-financed; her breakthrough music video was
shot on a handheld camera; her largest audience was a handful of people. She
died at the age of 33. Then she rose to #1 and sold over 10 million albums.
A Star Is Born
Judy Garland took to the stage at the age of 2, landed a
movie contract at 12, won an Academy Award at 17, and impacted the music and
movie industry for generations to come. She died aged 47. How did one of
Hollywood's brightest stars dim so fast? Kerry Hiles tells the life story of
Garland, using songs from Judy's movies to accentuate the tale, accompanied by
Luke Holder on piano.
