Zoë Lewis - emcee
Affectionately known as “a band in a body” Zoë plays vintage jazz and world beat grooves on anything from the piano to the spoons! Originally from the UK, she’s called Provincetown her home for the last 28 years. She's traveled to over 70 countries picking up musical grooves and stories along the way, released ten albums of original material, toured with Judy Collins, the Indigo Girls, Richie Havens, Nanci Griffiths and has even opened for Pat Benetar on the ukulele!
Her “Small is Tremendous” CD was signed to Judy Collins’ Wildflower record label, another song was signed to Putumayo records and became #1 in the satellite radio kids charts for 18 weeks, she has won numerous songwriting awards and her songs have appeared on Broadway, in documentaries, movie soundtracks and in commercials. She created and starred in two musicals; SNAIL ROAD and ACROSS THE POND which were staged in Provincetown to packed houses and she leads a theatrical 1920's SPEAKEASY which has become a big hit with the Cape Cod summer crowds performing prohibition era jazz.
Zoë has played at numerous music festivals, teaches musical workshops, performs on Olivia cruises and takes her show to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico every winter. As much known these days for her storytelling as for her songs, her performances are upbeat and fun, almost circus-like yet poignant and oftentimes political.

Sara Leketa
Sara Leketa (she/her) has been performing music relentlessly in New England and beyond since 1999. After overcoming stage fright at open mic’s around Cape Cod, she has worked to write and perform as much as, and in as many places as possible.
Never taking for granted the opportunity to connect with an audience, she says, “You play as hard as you can for one person, as you would 1,000. Every listener deserves your best performance.” Whether she's playing an outdoor festival or The Hard Rock Cafe, Sara strives to do just that. Leketa can be heard performing her own style of what has been pegged as a mix of Rock/Folk/Blues/Punk solo, as a duo, trio, 4 and 5 piece band. She also be heard performing the part of Brad Whitford in Boston's own; Aerochix. ( A female tribute to Aerosmith.)
Over the years she has had the opportunity to share the stage with artists such as Lori McKenna; Members of the band Boston, David Hull, Quiet Riot, The Bullet Boys, and Bret Michaels.
She believes in holding no restrictions in regards to musical genre and feels it's more important in her own music, to be raw instead of polished. “ I’d way rather have my voice crack and get the feeling across, then hit a perfect note and lack emotion. I want the audience to feel WITH me. That’s what music is for me. An understanding.” Sara's song "Wicked" won "2012's Song of The Year" through the Limelight Music Awards.
