Dave Prieto, a professional jazz guitarist based in Raleigh, North Carolina, brings more than five decades of performance experience to the stage. Originally from San Francisco, Prieto has built a distinguished career playing with artists such as Leon Williams, Larry Hancock, Akira Tana, James Levi, and Charles Thomas. A prolific recording artist, he has released four studio albums, featuring standout compositions like “Jeanne’s Waltz” and *“No Love of My Own.” In addition to performing, Prieto is a respected educator and a familiar presence on jazz stages throughout North Carolina.
Joining him is John Simonetti, a highly accomplished multi-instrumentalist who recently returned to his native North Carolina after six years freelancing in New York City. Simonetti performs regularly with the North Carolina Theatre, touring Broadway productions, the Gregg Gelb Swing Band, and numerous other acclaimed ensembles. During his time in New York, he recorded with the Lew Picardi Big Band, the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra, and the Bootleg Remedy Dixielanders, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and in-demand musician.
Simonetti’s résumé includes performances with an extraordinary list of jazz legends, among them Eddie Henderson, Tom Harrell, Freddie Cole, Curtis Fuller, Marcus Roberts, Marlena Shaw, Terence Blanchard, Jon Faddis, Russell Malone, and Bucky Pizzarelli. Together, Prieto and Simonetti deliver a dynamic blend of lyrical expression, technical mastery, and deep swing. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience two world-class musicians in an intimate setting—an evening of jazz at its finest.

2026-02-14 20:00 - 22:00 | sonark Farms, 2592 Sonark Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina, 27278
Influenced by the grit and soul of icons like Etta James and Janis Joplin, Musolino’s sound is rooted in deep blues feeling and amplified by a modern edge. Her songs are forged from lived experience, traversing addiction, recovery, discrimination, and the strength found in self-acceptance and survival. The result is music that cuts straight to the bone—fierce, cathartic, and deeply human—infused with strong feminist and queer-positive spirit.
A Berklee College of Music graduate and founder of Blue Moose Studios, Musolino has spent nearly two decades refining her craft on stages across North Carolina and beyond. From intimate rooms to festival crowds, she delivers performances that are electric, emotionally charged, and impossible to forget. Wild Card Valentine invites you to throw out the rulebook, take a chance on something real, and celebrate love that doesn’t play it safe.
Whether your night is solo, with a partner, P-alantines- just bring your fierce love for live music, this is a Valentine’s night for the bold, the brave, and the beautifully untamed!
