Adam Ratcliffe
I am a throw back solo acoustic guitar singer who plays a wide array of music. I am also a professional working actor who is very quick and good with audiences.
Adam Ratcliffe was born and raised in the Philadelphia area to a singer mother. His grandfather appeared in several off-Broadway shows and installed a passion for singing in his youngest grandson.
Adam received his SAG card in 2005 and has been working steadily ever since mostly on prime-time network shows in the New York City area.
In 2012 Adam and his wife tragically lost their first child. A daughter named Alaina who was still born. It was devastating to Adam but he created a short film that told the tragic story with a more positive outcome of reuniting with his daughter in heaven. This won Adam best lead actor in The Philadelphia international film festival in 2014.
He also produced one more short starring Clifton Powell and Brian Anthony Wilson called “Subway Son.” In 2014.In 2019 Adam was cast in 7 major projects all of which are either in the process of streaming or will stream in 2021. Most notably, Manhunt which is currently #2 on Netflix, The Flight Attendant on HBO Max, or the projected 2021 academy award-nominated Judas and the Black Messiah. Recently, Adam has been making a name for himself among Hollywood’s elite casting houses. His feature film lead role debut on the film, Right Before Your Eyes is currently on Amazon prime is Dove approved and is distributed domestically in North America and around the world. Adam was not only the lead in that film but a producer as well having raised funds for color correction and subtitles.
In 2021 Adam has raised a sizable budget and has been producing a documentary on troubled actor Tom Sizemore entitled “Saving Sizemore.”
He also in 2022 produced and starred in (along with remarkable producer, writer actor and friend Kevin Interdonato , Brian Anthony Wilson and many other talents) a great film called “St Michael of the City”
His LLC “Ratcliffe Productions” is quickly gaining a reputation of getting legitimate projects off the ground and into successful production & successful national and international distribution.
Adam is extremely excited to finally bring his screenplay “Subway Son” to life in a full feature format in his hometown!!! It has been a long time coming and he hopes he can welcome so many passionate like minded to be apart of the production in the way of either talents, producers or wherever they fit in the journey that is making a highly anticipated feature!

Alan MacEwen
For 35 years, Alan MacEwen has been the lead singer and guitar player for Washington, DC’s The Grandsons. His musical journey has included multiple recordings, travel to far-flung locales such as Europe, China, and El Salvador, and performances with legends like Ronnie Spector and Willie Nelson. His solo performances often include a cowboy song or two, some New Orleans jazz, old country songs, and even his own compositions. His audience-focused performances are always warm and engaging. It doesn’t take much provocation to get him to reach for his very first instrument, the trumpet, which he still loves to add into the mix.
Decades ago when Alan MacEwen stood in front of the chalkboard in 7th grade history class to give his oral report about the European Common Market, he was nearly frozen with stage fright. He eked out a generous ‘C’ from the teacher for the resulting fiasco. Fast-forward to the present, and you would never suspect this engaging, confident public speaker with a fancy degree from Duke University is the same person. Alan has been lecturing on the retirement community circuit for four years now and loves few things more than engaging with a curious and enthusiastic audience.
What Clients Have Said About This Performer:
“Thank you so much for sending this! Our residents loved the lecture on Elvis Presley yesterday and talked to him about coming next month to do the Life & Music of Frank Sinatra.”
“Wanted you to know that the residents enjoyed Alan. He plays the guitar and trumpet. He brought all his equipment and the residents seemed engaged.”

Bill Schroeher
Live Acoustic Storyteller Bringing Five Decades of Music to Life
A live acoustic music time machine, Bill Schroeher brings to life the familiar songs that have been the soundtrack of the last five decades. His connection to this music began early, shaped by some of his most cherished memories—his father strumming a guitar and leading family and friends in song around a glowing campfire. The crackle of the fire, the warmth on familiar faces, and voices blending together in songs everyone knew created a kind of magic that stayed with him.
Those moments were about more than music; they were about belonging, shared memories, and the simple joy of singing together. Today, Bill carries that spirit forward with smooth vocals, acoustic guitar, and harmonica, inviting audiences not just to listen, but to feel once again as if they’re gathered around the fire—remembering, connecting, and singing along.

Adam Ratcliffe
I am a throw back solo acoustic guitar singer who plays a wide array of music. I am also a professional working actor who is very quick and good with audiences.
Adam Ratcliffe was born and raised in the Philadelphia area to a singer mother. His grandfather appeared in several off-Broadway shows and installed a passion for singing in his youngest grandson.
Adam received his SAG card in 2005 and has been working steadily ever since mostly on prime-time network shows in the New York City area.
In 2012 Adam and his wife tragically lost their first child. A daughter named Alaina who was still born. It was devastating to Adam but he created a short film that told the tragic story with a more positive outcome of reuniting with his daughter in heaven. This won Adam best lead actor in The Philadelphia international film festival in 2014.
He also produced one more short starring Clifton Powell and Brian Anthony Wilson called “Subway Son.” In 2014.In 2019 Adam was cast in 7 major projects all of which are either in the process of streaming or will stream in 2021. Most notably, Manhunt which is currently #2 on Netflix, The Flight Attendant on HBO Max, or the projected 2021 academy award-nominated Judas and the Black Messiah. Recently, Adam has been making a name for himself among Hollywood’s elite casting houses. His feature film lead role debut on the film, Right Before Your Eyes is currently on Amazon prime is Dove approved and is distributed domestically in North America and around the world. Adam was not only the lead in that film but a producer as well having raised funds for color correction and subtitles.
In 2021 Adam has raised a sizable budget and has been producing a documentary on troubled actor Tom Sizemore entitled “Saving Sizemore.”
He also in 2022 produced and starred in (along with remarkable producer, writer actor and friend Kevin Interdonato , Brian Anthony Wilson and many other talents) a great film called “St Michael of the City”
His LLC “Ratcliffe Productions” is quickly gaining a reputation of getting legitimate projects off the ground and into successful production & successful national and international distribution.
Adam is extremely excited to finally bring his screenplay “Subway Son” to life in a full feature format in his hometown!!! It has been a long time coming and he hopes he can welcome so many passionate like minded to be apart of the production in the way of either talents, producers or wherever they fit in the journey that is making a highly anticipated feature!

Geoff White
I play dances, weddings, private parties, and public performances. I also present hybrid lectures/concerts on the music of the Civil War.
A “Gumbo” Fiddler
I’ve been playing the violin/fiddle since I was four. Trained classically, when I was a teenager I fell in love with Irish music. I was also raised listening to a lot of Cajun music, which manifests in my musical style, which is a hybrid “accent” of classical, Celtic, Cajun, and old-time southern influences (I’m from the mountains of North Carolina, where the accent of the mountains became part of my musical expression).
Gumbo is a pot with all sorts of things thrown in, usually whatever you have on-hand. In this way, I consider myself a gumbo fiddler, combining the elements I was raised with and influenced by into my own unique flavor.
Repertoire
I play a range of styles:
- Old-Time
- Celtic
- Classical
- Cajun

Kaitlyn Likas
Award-Winning Fiddler & Irish/Scottish Highland Dance Champion
Kaitlyn Likas is an award-winning fiddler and Irish/Scottish Highland dancer based in the Washington, DC area. From an early age, her mother, Peggie Casey-Likas—born in Mitchelstown, County Cork—instilled in Kaitlyn and her siblings a deep appreciation for their cultural heritage. As a first-generation Irish American, Kaitlyn remains highly active in the Irish community throughout Virginia, DC, and Maryland, proudly embracing and celebrating her roots.
Kaitlyn began her dance training at age four in Scottish Highland dance, as Irish dance was not available in Southern Maryland where she grew up. In high school, she began studying Irish dance with the Hunt and Broesler schools in Annapolis and Baltimore, earning numerous competition titles and regional championships. At just 14 years old, she was honored with the “Best Maryland Dancer” award.
During high school, Kaitlyn and her sister Jessica founded the Irish music and dance duo The Wild Irish Roses. The sisters won “First Place Performing Arts” in the 2017 Alexandria St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Originally a classically trained violinist for over a decade, Kaitlyn later taught herself the fiddle and has since become one of the region’s most sought-after Celtic musicians.
She is the only female fiddler to have performed with the Baltimore-based Irish punk band The Charm City Saints, who have contributed music to various Irish films and documentaries. Kaitlyn has also performed with Black 47, O’Malley’s March, Celtica, The Fighting Jamesons, Capital Celtic, The Devil’s Tailors, The Thistle & The Rose, Baltic Celtic, and The Gobshites. In 2018, she was featured in Celtic Life International Magazine and recognized as “Female Fiddler of the Day” by Fair Lady Fiddlers.
Kaitlyn has performed at major Irish and Celtic festivals along the East Coast, including ShamrockFest, and has graced the stages of The Kennedy Center, numerous Highland games, festivals, restaurants, and pubs. One career highlight was performing before Her Excellency Anne Anderson, former Ambassador of Ireland, in Kingstowne, Virginia.
In 2022, Kaitlyn represented Washington, DC as the “Washington DC Mary” in the Mary from Dungloe International Arts Festival in Donegal, Ireland—a role she held for several years due to pandemic delays. While in Ireland, she performed and spoke at numerous events and was interviewed by RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta and Highland Radio. During her time there, she also toured with Irish music superstar Daniel O’Donnell.
Kaitlyn has served as a member of the Culture Caucus at The Kennedy Center, representing Ireland, and performed eight times for Ireland 100: Celebrating a Century of Irish Arts & Culture. She has performed for Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at an Ancient Order of Hibernians reception in Washington, DC, and for former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in Ohio at the presentation of the Seán MacBride Humanitarian Award. In 2021, she was invited to perform for Vice President Kamala Harris at a St. Patrick’s Day breakfast at the Vice President’s residence.
Most recently, Kaitlyn was honored as one of The Irish Echo’s 40 Under 40 in New York City, recognizing Irish and Irish Americans who have made significant contributions in their respective fields before the age of forty. This prestigious distinction highlights her continued impact as a performer, cultural ambassador, and proud representative of Irish America.
