2017 Judges
TIM MCLOONE
Tim's love of music was a driving force behind the creation of Holiday Express. He learned to play piano as a child and, after college, formed Tim McLoone and his Atlantic Coast Band. However, sports also had a significant influence upon his life. As an alumnus of Harvard's All-American Track and Field Team, Tim parlayed his interest in athletics and entertaining into a career as a sports announcer. He has done broadcast work for the U.S. Olympic Trials and was part of the Emmy Award-winning broadcast team for the New York and Los Angeles Marathons. In fact, Tim put his track and field background to use when covering the New York Marathon, jogging alongside the runners as he reported on the event.
BOBBY BANDIERA
Bobby Bandiera is an American rock guitarist, singer and songwriter from New Jersey. Bandiera played rhythm guitar for Bon Jovi in live performances from 2005 until 2015 and was lead guitarist for Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.

PAT GUADAGNO
Not many Folkies would be as comfortable onstage with Peter Paul & Mary or Roger McGuinn as they would with Stevie Ray Vaughn or BB King; But Pat Guadagno finds a way to contour each performance to fit every bill from America to Delbert McClinton, to Blue Oyster Cult.
