Kristopher Hale is a native of Roanoke, Virginia. Currently a Adjunct Professor of Music at both Radford University and Lynchburg College in Virginia, he also teaches guitar and music theory privately throughout the New River Valley and Roanoke areas. He is a sought after performer, appearing in public and private events throughout Virginia playing classical music to The Beatles.

Hale is as ambitious as he is disciplined; his vast repertoire includes music from various parts of the world and spans the Renaissance through the twentieth century. He specializes in solo and small ensemble music selected to bring art and culture to social gatherings of all sorts.

Hale began playing guitar at the age of 9 and won first place in a composition contest at age thirteen. During his five years at Radford University, he studied with critically acclaimed guitarist Robert Trent, the first recipient of a Doctor of Musical Arts in guitar performance from Peabody Conservatory. Hale has performed widely and received personal instruction from world-renowned guitarists including David Russell, Lily Afshar, Vincent Airault, Anthony Glise, Christopher Berg and Carlo Barone, among others.

Stella Trudel is a singer and songwriter who lives in Floyd, Virginia and winters in Canyon Lake, Texas. She is also the lead singer of the band Cocobolo.

Stella Trudel grew up in a musical family and tried many instruments on for size including ukulele, flute, recorder, harmonica, dulcimer, piano, sitar and Indian tabla’s, until she finally received a hand me down guitar at age 15 and immediately began to study chord charts, finger picking and practiced writing her own songs.

After moving to Austin, Texas at the age of 17, she was inspired by the area’s enthusiasm for songwriting, and actively listened to local talent, including Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith, and Shake Russell. Becoming a full-fledged singer-songwriter was her new passion, and a taste of Texas still flavors her music.

Today she lives in Floyd, Virginia, winters in the Austin, Texas area and spends most of her time writing songs, singing and practicing guitar. She loves to sing from the heart and consciously directs her attention and focus to music to see what will unfold.
