MAIN PRESENTER
Regina Sayles is a dynamic singer/songwriter who blends her musical abilities with a love for performance. Her capacity to blend various genres such as pop, jazz, soul and country gives even the most diverse audience something to match their musical taste.
Regina spent the first 18 years of her life growing up in a small town in northwest, OH, called Tiffin. Although Regina is still a proud Buckeye, she is now based in East Stroudsburg, PA.
In April 2013, Regina released a live acoustic album titled, The Ann Street Session. “I love recording in the studio, but studio recordings can feel very different from a live performance, so I invited some friends over to my living room for the evening, teamed up with some great musicians, a sound engineer and video crew, and The Ann Street Session came to life.” You can visit Regina’s Youtube channel to view all the videos from The Ann Street Session: https://www.youtube.com/user/reginasayles
In 2014, in addition to singing 100+ shows, Regina had the opportunity to open for female folk pioneer, Tret Fure and female folk icon, Ani Difranco. “It was a very humbling experience to share a stage with these amazing women; I was extremely grateful.” Regina can be found performing in PA, NY, NJ, VA, DE, OH and any other state she finds a venue to host her.
Regina also develops musical assemblies that promote character education in elementary schools. “If you are ever having a bad day, go visit an elementary school; the kids will amaze you!” Sayles works to learn the objectives of each school wide behavior program so she can reinforce its purpose with music. “Kids need to know that what they are doing right now is building on what they can become. My goal is to present important character traits like respect and responsibility, and through music, promote their importance in everyday life.”
While most of Regina’s career has focused on solo endeavors, her current focus is on her duo Porter & Sayles. In 2015, Regina teamed up with singer/songwriter Christian Porter and they officially formed Porter & Sayles. Since forming, the duo has opened for Pat Benatar, the Steve Miller Band, Frankie Ballard and Dan+Shea. Christian and Regina (Porter and Sayles) released a their self-titled, debut album on July 23rd, 2016. visit www.porterandsayles.com for more details on all their upcoming endeavors! When regina is not singing she loves to cook, visit local breweries and wineries, go fishing and hike with her dog, Dora the Explorer.
