Cory Redgrift
2026-01-27 18:00 - 21:00
Starting at the age of 4 Corey Redgrift began his musical journey as a classical piano player that over time absorbed many differing styles into his playing including jazz, pop, rock, and video game music. He covers popular songs from the 70’s to the present and while keeping faithful to the originals still manages to put his own personal spin on them. Playing gigs with just solo piano and vocals is very special and intimate to him and he says there is nothing quite like it. He has done sound design and music composition for multiple video game titles most notably Call of Duty: Black Ops, and currently still performs with a full cover band in the Orange County area called Past to Present. As a firm believer that music is one of the most powerful forces in existence he strives to capture its magic and brilliance each time he sits behind the piano.

David Tibbets
2026-04-19 11:30 - 15:30
A professional musician, guitarist, and composer based in Costa Mesa, CA, working across live performance, original music creation, and collaborative projects with established artists.
As a live performer, I specialize in acoustic rock, country, and blues—performing both covers and original music with an emphasis on the unique expressiveness of the acoustic guitar. My live work is well-suited for civic and community events, outdoor concerts, corporate gatherings, and family-friendly programming, and I’m available both as a solo artist and with a full band.
In parallel, I compose and produce original music for creative projects, with a focus on emotionally grounded, guitar-forward compositions suitable for sync licensing, film, television, and digital media. My background as a live performer strongly informs my studio work, resulting in music that feels organic, dynamic, and performance-ready.
I’m also available as a guitarist for established and emerging artists, contributing rhythm and lead guitar in live and studio settings. I value collaboration, preparation, and musical adaptability, and I’m comfortable supporting a wide range of musical directions and professional production environments.
