Melinda Hedgecorth has been living the last 14 years in one of the capitol cities of flamenco dance: Sevilla, Spain. Surrounded by artists and experts, she has studied, performed and taught flamenco, gaining experience onstage with local musicians in performances at flamenco clubs such as Peña Flamenca Pies de Plomo or cultural centers such as the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo. She has been especially influenced by studies with flamenco prodigies of our day such as Israel Galván, Mercedes Ruíz, Belén Maya, Isabel Bayón and La Moneta among many others.
Jed Miley is a guitarist, composer, and producer based in Seattle, WA. Jed began studying Flamenco guitar at age 16 with local maestro Marcos Carmona, and later played for la Pena Flamenca de Seattle under the artistic direction of Rubina Carmona.
Jed moved to New York in 2003 to pursue greater opportunities in music. In New York, Jed performed at prestigious venues such as Symphony Space and Lincoln Center. In 2012, Jed moved back to Seattle where he continues to perform with a number of local artists.
