Avid singer and songwriter, Ava Paige fell in love with performing during a karaoke duet with pop-star, Kelly Clarkson.  With influences like Vince Gill, Chris Stapleton, and Brad Paisley, Ava’s talent has been on display at many legendary Nashville venues such as The Bluebird Cafe, Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge, and The George Jones.  At just 17 years of age, she has collaborated with some of Nashville’s most prominent songwriters and continues to be on the watch list of Nashville’s hottest.   At the prime of her young career, Ava was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  Being the optimistic, loving fighter that she is, she continues to write and perform at every opportunity as she recovers.  Songwriter friends like Ashley McBryde, Carley Pearce, Michael Ray, and Brandy Clark filled her hospital room with music during recovery. Even during these turbulent times, Ava gave back by raising money and awareness for The Leukemia Lymphoma Society and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. 

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, Charles “Chip” Esten was raised in Alexandria, VA and attended T.C.

While in Williamsburg, he was lead singer/songwriter in a popular local band. Esten made his theatrical debut in London when he portrayed Buddy Holly, singing, acting and playing guitar in the hit West End musical “Buddy.” In that role he was honored to perform for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and eventually President and Mrs. George H.W.

It was during his run as Buddy that Esten first appeared on the original British version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” with Ryan Stiles and Greg Proops. When “Whose Line” came to ABC, he became a recurring cast member and frequent song improvisor. Since then he has appeared on Drew Carey’s Improvaganza and toured frequently, performing live improv shows with Stiles, Proops and Jeff B.

His most recent single “Sweet Summer Saturday Night” was released in August 2020.  He continues to write and record music with over 9.5 million streams to date, earning a Guinness World Record in 2017 for releasing 54 original songs (available on iTunes, and on Spotify) once a week, for 54 consecutive weeks. Charles is an active Musicians On Call board member and volunteer, regularly performing for patients and caregivers in hospitals, hospice centers, and VA facilities. With live performances being mostly cancelled in 2020, the singer-songwriter, actor and performer has instead performed a regular online Quarantine Live Stream concert to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where he has served as an honorary spokesperson for the past 8 years.
