Belle-Skinner
Belle-Skinner is a singer-songwriter with a hauntingly beautiful, lilting soprano and innate sense of melody. She crafts tales of songbirds, sirens and desert nomads—nuanced and layered stories which bridge the gap between past and present. Her voice draws comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley, and Angel Olsen.
Robinson Treacher
Robinson Treacher's emotionally dramatic songwriting style is matched only by his deeply passionate vocals. He won the 2018 Independent Music Award for Best EP Roots/Country/Singer Songwriter/Americana for his album “BORN”. He's shared the stage with Vince Gill, Iris Dement, and Cheryl Wheeler.
Rachael Kilgour
Rachael Kilgour is the 2015 winner of the international NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition and the 2017 Kerrville New Folk Contest. She has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center, at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and by the ASCAP Music Cafe at the Sundance Film Festival.

Jeremy Aaron
Jeremy Aaron has performed solo and in the band Spuyten Duyvill at small venues and major festivals throughout the country. His songs tell of Ecuadorian shadows, magic lights, Adirondack evergreens, beggars’ coins, train tracks, and road trips. His fiddle gets your toes tapping and his guitar evokes memories of nights around the campfire.
Sophie Buskin
Sophie performed extensively with her father (of Buskin and Batteau fame) before embarking on a solo career. She has performed at venues throughout the New York area, including opening for Livingston Taylor. Her songs have been described as wise, laced with sly humor, and containing melodies that are different and surprising.
Dan Whitener
Born and raised in Washington, DC, Dan Whitener has hit the Billboard Bluegrass charts as a banjo player with both Emmy-nominated bluegrass-hiphop band "Gangstagrass" and Philadelphia’s own Newgrass Americana band "Man About A Horse". His song "We Are Gonna Be Okay" is featured in Spike Lee's latest movie" BlacKkKlansman".
