Jason Dennie is primarily known as a 'solo acoustic guitarist.' Really the only description that fits because the music isn't all fingerstyle guitar, or flatpicking... it isn't all folk (as we know it to be), and uses ideas that reach out into jazz, blues, bluegrass, celtic, rock & roll, and country to create a unique and energetic voice on acoustic guitar.
Laura Bates and Brandon Foote's sound is timeless, rootsy and lush, with soaring harmonies, piano, mandolin and guitars harkening back to the olden days with new vision.
Drew Nelson’s songs are facile in poetry, tactile in tone. They’re simple, direct expressions via mere melody and a mittful of guitar chords. Such is Drew’s gift – the ability to extract spirit and soul from the jumble of modern life, and turn it into music.

Sara Petite displays the same vivacious energy that she brings to the stages upon which she performs. She is bright, attractive, and brimming with stories about life, family, and music.

Dorothy weaves her lyrics around the finger of her guitar playing. Dorothy makes no apologies. She doesn't sound like anyone. Well, maybe a mix between Mel Torme and Tanya Tucker.
