Alex Carlin

Alex Carlin was born in Chicago (USA). Alex was an original member of The Rubinoos, a band who charted in the US and the UK in the late 1970s. On the most famous American music television show before MTV, “American Bandstand,” the group sang Alex's song “Rock and Roll is Dead and We Don't Care”. Alex played in the legendary American band Psycotic Pineapple, whose concerts included co-bills with the Dead Kennedys, Jonathan Richman and Roky Erickson. Alex founded the Alien Beach Head group, which was invited to the USSR and in 1990 played a six-month tour in the Soviet Union: from Odessa and Kiev through the Urals and Siberia to Transbaikalia and back to Moscow and Leningrad. Soon after this stunning and super-successful tour, the Soviet Union collapsed. In 2012, Alex created the “ALEX CARLIN BAND”. Today the band includes drummer Denis Matuizo (BY) and bassist Andrei Samoylov (RU). ALEX CARLIN SOLO or ALEX CARLIN BAND plays over 100 concerts a year in Russia and has performed many tours in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. He also has played many shows in the USA, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Ireland, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Romania, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Denmark, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Alex is also known for his duet with the legendary Steven Tyler - “Aerosmith”, and in June 2009, Alex Carlin was listed in the Guinness Book of Records for “The Longest Solo Concert” - 32 hours of uninterrupted classic rock and roll.

Krakofonia Choir

Krakofonia was founded in 2014 as an LBGT choir. It continues to grow (all are welcome!) and gives performances regularly, not only in Poland. It has already convinced many that everyone can sing, and that being in a choir can be exciting and fun. But most of all, Krakofonia sings with pride, as a voice of the Polish LGBTQ community. This song was taken from their 2018 TEDxKazimierz performance to celebrate diversity and share their positive spirit with new audiences. Sharing ideas and examples of tolerance and diversity are at the heart of TEDxKazimierz's mission.

Stevie Coyle

Stevie Coyle (late of the whiz-bang string band The Waybacks) is an accomplished performer. After securing degrees in Theatre and Theology at Santa Clara University he hit the road for 3 years with The Royal Lichtenstein Circus. Once back home, he signed on as actor and stage manager for The San Jose Repertory Company. He announced killer whale shows. His best friend was an elephant. He and his good pal Roy Zimmerman have worked closely in several collaborations over the past 25 years, including folk tribute / parody band The Foremen and comedy duo The Reagan Bros. in Los Angeles, and while there, Stevie appeared on Cheers and in many television commercials and had a regular role on The Young And The Restless (which was utterly subsumed by then-daily broadcasts of the interminable Iran-Contra hearings.) Safely back in the Bay Area, he continued his acting career, doing commercials, radio, voiceovers and films and played in folk duos The Frontmen and The Back Room Boys. In 1998 he co-founded The Waybacks with Wayne "Chojo" Jacques and Glenn (Pomianek) Houston. Soon the acoustic trio were joined by drummer Peter Tucker and bassist Chris Kee. This is the band that established and developed The Waybacks' considerable reputation in California. Peter, Chris and Glenn eventually moved on Chuck Hamilton, Joe Kyle and James Nash came aboard. Stevie fronted both versions of the band and toured steadily with the latter configuration from 2000 through 2007. The band released 4 albums in that time, played major festivals like Merlefest, Grey Fox, Floydfest, Great Waters, Old Settlers, Bumbershoot and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, toured Australia, and collaborated with Lloyd Maines, Michelle Shocked and Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead. He has opened his own high-end acoustic guitar shop, Mighty Fine Guitars, in Lafayette, CA, and is thrilled to be once again collaborating with Glenn in The Quitters.
