JOE BOUCHER
Joe grew up in the quaint seaside village of Biddeford Maine on the New England coast. He is a singer and songwriter who, for eight years, fronted the power pop band Frotus Caper. They recorded and released four critically acclaimed albums while performing constantly. Throughout that time he worked regularly as a studio session musician, playing piano and arranging pop, rock and folk songs for many artists.
Joe is an on-air host and producer at Maine Public Classical Radio. For sixteen seasons he was the Concert Manager for The Portland Symphony Orchestra. Prior to that he spent seven years touring internationally as stage manager before meeting his future bride Barbara.
Joe and Barbara live in Cape Elizabeth Maine with their thirteen year old son Henry, their eight year old twins, George and Jane and a rescue pooch named Pepper. Most summer nights they can be found sitting on the back porch listening to the Red Sox.
In August 2014, Joe released a CD of his own songs “Retrospectal"
Christopher Eastburn

Chris's string quartet/vocal quartet score Consent to Gravity choreographed by Daniel McCusker was hailed as "one of the most successful new musical works for dance I've heard in ages" by Debra Cash, dance critic for NPR's Here and Now. His arrangement and orchestration of "Jazzy Old St. Nick, a hip swing version of a Christmas favorite" is now available from the Hal Leonard choral music catalog.
