About the Artists
VADIM ASTRAKHAN — Guitar & Voice
Vadim is a brilliant guitarist and vocalist whose range spans lyrical ballads, jazz, blues, and rock-n-roll. His passionate performances and expressive playing have earned him a devoted following around the world. He is also one of the most well-known translators of Vladimir Vysotsky, bringing the legendary bard’s songs to English-speaking audiences. Beyond music, Vadim translated Goethe’s Faust, wrote and directed the off-Broadway play A Shift of Opinion, and authored the book Раздвинуть горизонты (“Expanding Horizons”), a thoughtful exploration of Vysotsky’s songs and legacy.
ALEX NOTKIN - Guitar & Voice
A talented singer and actor well known to NY and NJ audiences is joining this impressive line-up. Every song is a performance. As Alex transforms himself from a Mexican mariachi, to an irresistible Italian heartthrob, to a Georgian man of the mountains, his guitar dutifully follows. Can't wait!
ANDREY KOMPANIYETS — Guitar & Voice
A soulful performer with a gift for connecting heart-to-heart, Andrey brings warmth, sincerity, and storytelling to every song. His bard-style acoustic performances are infused with authenticity and purpose, often dedicated to fundraising efforts and humanitarian causes. His music carries both tenderness and strength—an echo of resilience.

THE SUNFLOWER rock band
