Performers
Erika Bornstein is a Reutilization Engineer at IBM based in Hopewell Junction, NY. She has been writing music, singing, and playing guitar and piano in her free time since her early teens. She enjoys sharing her music at open mics, at friends’ houses and on occasion is known to perform at weddings. When Erika isn’t tied up with work and producing her new song, you can find her looking for cats to pet and planning her next adventure. You can listen to her new music under the name ‘Erika Bornstein’ on any streaming platform.
Jessica Carmen is a Cuban American singer-songwriter and SAG-AFTRA actor. She studied opera and piano at the New England Conservatory of Music and the University of Kentucky where she received her BA in Music. She's appeared in various TV, film and commercial productions including a bilingual national commercial currently running for First American Home Warranty. Coming soon- she’ll be playing opposite the iconic Olivia Benson on an episode of Law & Order SVU. She writes songs about motherhood and more on TikTok: JessicaCarmencita. She’s always scared she isn’t doing enough. www.JessicaCarmen.com.
Courteney Cuomo is a singer/songwriter/bodhran (Irish drum) player/actor/teaching artist based in Ossining, NY. She writes music for her duo, The Chimes @TheChimesMusic (we are bad at posting on Instagram), combining the sounds of old folk, Celtic, and Indian music. Courteney has always been performing with bands and in plays, and also directs musicals in elementary and middle schools with local theatre group Anywhere Theatre Company. She finds joy in helping young people gain confidence through storytelling, and in occasionally helping them nail that harmony. Thanks to SHAC for inviting her to participate in this delightfully terrifying event!
Christopher Fasulo is a music director, pianist, organist, and voice teacher who has been making music and occasionally terrifying adults with his musical opinions since the age of 12. He has music directed productions including Sondheim’s Follies at Depot Theatre and A Chorus Line at Piper Theater. As a pianist, he has worked with NYU’s Vocal Performance Department and accompanied auditions for The Juilliard School and the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria. He studied vocal performance at NYU and recently appeared as the baritone soloist in Fauré’s Requiem with Westchester Choral Society. By day, he serves as Music Minister at St. Philip’s Church in Garrison, NY, and is a Collaborative Pianist with the West Point Glee Club. He’s much better at helping other people find their voices than figuring out what to do with his own. www.christopherfasulo.com | Instagram: @JustNeedsTuning

Josh Lewis is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Sleepy Hollow Arts Collective. Prior to moving up the Hudson, he lived in New York City for three decades, where he worked as an actor, director, writer, and educator. His work has been seen around the world, from his home state of Wisconsin to Edinburgh to Indonesia; in print, on TV, and every stage imaginable, from basements to Broadway. He lives in Sleepy Hollow with far superior humans than himself - his wife and their two daughters - and their dog, who’s not a human but is also superior.
Priya Lewis is a perpetual visiting artist/multipotentialite/restless nomad. She is traveling around the country in an RV with her family. She is recalibrating, pushing back, unlearning supposed truths of how to be and see and know. She is scared of starting before she is ready but even more scared of waiting around for that to ever be the case. She is still figuring it out.
Nina Pajak is a writer who lives in Tarrytown, NY. She’s famously extremely busy with any number of very time-consuming and important occupations, including being a mom to her two kids and one dog, fundraising on behalf of the Tarrytown School District, making lists of things to do, napping, gadding about town, staring blankly into the middle distance, and planning events. She is at work on her first novel, a murder mystery, and occasionally posts her essays on her substack, Overthought. You can read her writing at https://ninapajak.substack.com/ and at ninaislosingit.com

She received her BFA in Acting with a minor in Art History from Boston University and studied theatre at both the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) and the British American Dramatics Academy (BADA).
