The love of early 20th century American roots music is very apparent with Oak Hill Drifters, who are based out of Orlando, Florida.  Their music and performance echos the 1940's - 1960's paying homage to some of the great pioneers of that early American roots music.
The band's current iteration was formed in 2014 that includes Rachel Decker, Craig Roy, George Dimitrov and Tom Pearce whose collective resumes include work with The HoneyBees (Chicago), Nick Curran, Hindu Cowboys and Rocket-88 (Orlando).  ​​Rachel Decker fronts the band with a vocal prowess that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Janis Martin and Patsy Cline.

​In 2016, the band released its debut 11 song compilation, "Fly Off The Panhandle."  The band's sophomore recording, "Lied To Me" was released in June 2018. 

In late 2022, Oak Hill Drifters released a (5) song EP titled "The Iris Sessions" that was produced by Billy Chapin whose accolades include recordings with Edwin McCain, Sister Hazel and Don Henley.  The release received critical acclaim both within the United States and abroad. The EP debuted at #26 on the Relix/jambands.com radio charts.  The EP also climbed to #88 on the AMA Americana Albums chart and remained in the top 125  for multiple months in 2023.

Their first co-write titled "Still Waters" has become a fan favorite and is a marriage of lyrics by Joe and musical composition by Mike.

Mickey first made his mark in the 1980s as a central figure in the Hard Rock scene, performing in top venues across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Boston. As the lead vocalist and songwriter for several notable bands including 911 Emergency Band, Vision, Equinox (a jazz-rock fusion group), and The Mickey Savage Band, Mickey gained a loyal following and high demand throughout the region. His powerful performances led him to share stages with rock legends such as Billy Joel, Foreigner, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Def Leppard, and Tears for Fears, with appearances at major events like the Nassau Coliseum Rock Festival and multiple Battle of the Bands competitions in New York City.

In the 1990s, Mickey expanded his repertoire by collaborating with Latin music ensembles and teaching percussion to aspiring musicians. One of his students, Angel Roldan, went on to found the internationally acclaimed percussion company Conga MD (Conga Doctor), a success story that Mickey continues to inspire as a mentor and musical guide.

An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, Mickey plays piano, rhythm guitar, bass, drums, and Latin percussion. He produced and released a genre-blending CD, currently available on YouTube, Apple Music, and Pandora, featuring a fusion of hard rock, heavy metal, pop, R&B, jazz, and salsa.

Pursuing a deeper understanding of music, Mickey later trained as a classical musician. In 2004, he entered the French American Conservatory of Music in New York City, graduating in 2014 under the mentorship of Professor Jean Pierre Schmidt. He emerged as a classically trained conductor, adding yet another dimension to his musical journey.

1st Album  We Are All Connected

2nd Album Tend Your Garden

The fascinating musical journey of Chris and Daya Devi-Doolin started when they met as street musicians in Philadelphia, PA. It was there that they discovered the unique gentle yet rhythmical sound that still defines their music today. In Philly, they joined with other street musicians to form the acoustic funk group, the “Street Players”. Chris brought his creative guitar skills to the mix and later incorporated his keyboard training into their sound. They soon found when singing on the streets that Chris’ mellow voice complemented Daya’s sweet sultry vocals to create a distinctive balanced harmony. Daya’s rhythm guitar filled out the mix nicely. Their first intriguing year together is an amazing story that is recounted in more detail in their book “Smile America.” Later in their career, they worked with Grammy award winning producer Maurice Starr on their second CD, Smile America. But that connection has its roots in Boston, where they performed on the same stage as Maurice and received an award for the song Momma at the 2nd Celebrity Awards Show. Their days in Boston included work with Good Company Productions, who helped distribute their EP, Sides of Love. They were members of the New England Songwriters Association and performed at showcases and concerts with that group. They remember recording their songs at home, in a local attic studio, at SMAP in Somerville, MA., and in a converted chicken coop in rural Mass. After their street playing days ended, they had hitchhiked their way throughout the northeast and performed at Folk City in NYC, clubs in Atlantic City and eventually moved back to Chris’ home area of Boston.

Hey there! I’m Amanda Lyn, and my current city is Orlando, Florida. I like to consider my music rockabilly, but I’m also influenced by folk, country  and singer/songwriter music. My biggest inspiration is Elvis Presley, and I love the style of the Sun Studio recordings. I guess I’m just a sucker for a story of the underdog winning the day! It’s incredible to me that a group of poor boys from the South got together, sang what they felt and changed the world of music forever. I recently teamed up with mandolin and guitar player Matt from the Americana band, Beemo, and I'm loving playing duo gigs with him.

I started performing in musicals when I was young, and I studied musical theatre at the University of Central Florida. Singing has always been my greatest passion! I’ve been lucky enough to work on stage professionally, and I have gotten the chance to perform with Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Cody Ray Slaughter several times. I am also a Marilyn Monroe tribute artist, and I speak German.

I just released a new EP called "Timeless"! Check it out on my music page.

The Healing Collective was originally started by Lee Nemer and Josh Giessler as a group of artists, musicians, poets and activists looking to raise awareness and funds to support people in need in our communities. The first event was a virtual fundraiser during Covid to raise funds for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.  

When the lockdown was over The Healing Collective continued, now as a band, with the addition of Patrick Connolly. The trio played their first gig at the Sanford Porchfest in February of 2022. The band continued to grow as Shawn O’Donnell and Deborah Parsons joined the group. Now The Healing Collective plays in breweries and restaurants all around Sanford, Orlando and as far as Titusville.
