Jimmy DiBattista

As a current singer and songwriter living in Lake Worth, Florida. Jimmy DiBattista is one of the greatest!  He was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey.  He is proudly married with three children and two grandchildren.

He has been singing his whole life and decided what he wanted to be after seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show when he was eight years old. He took up guitar right around his eighteenth birthday and started writing almost immediately after learning his first few chords.

In these 30 years Jimmy has written over 350 songs and has released seven albums: JimiD-Bo, Give It All You Got, Day Of The Eclipse, Capture the Moment, Solo, Jersey Stories One and Jersey Stories Two.

He has been in bands in Jersey---Damien, The Doowrag Flyers, The Fun Ghouls as well as his own band, with rotating members of a group he calls Tropical Storm. Jimmy has been a full time musician since the early 90's working in many places down here in Palm Beach County, Florida. He has a repertoire of over 500 songs!  South Florida has a "Rag" magazine called Jam and he was nominated for Top Solo Artist back in 92---A Jammy nomination.

(Big Fish/Small Pond) He has jammed with Clarence Clemmons twice, which was a “big thrill for a Jersey guy who had been influenced by Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band”. He has even been able to play a couple of Bruce songs for the Boss at his gig two years ago.  Jimmy says, “he was surprised to hear his Tom Joad classic "The New Timer" and a B side from Born In The USA "Shut Out The Light” down here in South Florida.” Mr. Springsteen was quoted saying to Jimmy [that he] " sounded good". That was one of the highlights of Jimmy’s life.

Jimmy loves what he does and feels blessed to be able to do what he has always wanted to do.  This shows through his performances. He performs nightly at Nicole's Village Tavern in Wellington on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.  Best acoustic act you’ll ever see!

Chad Murphy & Heather Burkett  Country Music Duo

As a dynamic country duo performing top country songs, Chad and Heather are being recognized as the best at their genre in Wellington! They have been singing together for the last three wonderful years together. Every Thursday night at Nicole’s Village Tavern they rock the house, as they have been for almost two years!

Chad grew up in Kansas and has lived in several different places in the United States over the years. He always had a love for music. His grandfather encouraged him to sing country, but Chad was a rebel and decided to get into the rock scene. Having formed a rock band in California where he played for several years, Chad has been playing acoustic and electric guitar for over twenty-four years! He has a great ear for music. It was not until four years ago that he decided that his grandfather may have been right, and he turned his talents to country music.

Heather grew up in West Palm Beach and was always interested in singing but never sang in public until four years ago when she met Chad. They both knew that they could do something great together with their love for country music. They started playing private parties, mostly in Wellington, and it took off from there! They have also donated their time to help local charities in fundraising. They believe in catering to their audience by trying to get them involved in the music. ‘Chad and Heather’ fans always get up and dance; they have a fun time! As Brooks and Dunn would say “That’s what it’s all about!”

They perform a variety of different country music songs featuring the sounds of Kenny Chesney, Brooks and Dunn, Toby Keith, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, Sara Evans, Sugarland, Jo Dee Messina, to name a few. Chad will even throw some rock and dance music for fun.

This dynamic duo is a must see. They have been known to convert many people who didn’t like country music! Whether you’re a little bit country or a little bit rock and roll you are guaranteed to have a great time. Be prepared for some foot stompin’ fun!
