Summary: 2CELLOS are two young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser. The duo has achieved sensational success by taking the cello to a new level and breaking the boundaries between different genres of music. Their unique cello version of Michael Jackson’s 'Smooth Criminal' took the world by storm. Within only a week, this YouTube video became a huge viral sensation leading to a record deal with Sony Masterworks and an invitation to join Elton John on his worldwide tour. Since then, the duo has appeared on major TV shows such as GLEE, have toured with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Michael and Leona Lewis and released their second album IN2ITION. SARAH MORGAN has also won multiple titles for her Appalachian dulcimer work including the 2012 National Mountain Dulcimer Championship. This native of East Tennessee is only 18 and has incorporated the rich musical heritage of the area into her music. Backing traditional Appalachian melodies and haunting old time tunes with fresh harmonies and a progressive drive, she lends a new feel to seemingly "old" tunes, while accompanying pure and heartfelt vocals with the unpretentious sound of the Appalachian dulcimer. She recently released her second album 'Run to the Window'.
