Brooklyn-based Americana/Alt-Country band Yarn's sound owes as much to Gram Parsons and Earl Scruggs as to Jerry Garcia and Exile On Main Street-era Rolling Stones. Following in a fine tradition that includes forward thinking roots bands like The Flying Burrito Brothers and New Riders of The Purple Sage, Yarn weaves roots music idioms into a fresh sound that turns on hipsters and fans of country music alike, with technically impressive song-crafting and universal tales from the road of life.

What do you get when you combine Harry and Eric Aceto, guitarist and six-string violinist of DjugDjango with Bobby Henrie and Brian Williams, guitarist/vocalist and bassist of the Goners? You get a top-notch gypsy jazz/bop band with a supremely logical name: the DjanGoners. And, in case there's anyone left in the world who does not know, the group explores the wonderful 'dgenre' of music associated with the great gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.

During her ten years in Idaho and Montana, she had had the good fortune of being able to work at two of her loves in life: horses and music; Amy helped to organize the horseback riding programs and was the featured entertainer at various guest ranches. Her performing background had been as a solo artist out West prior to her meeting some Connecticut musicians while wintering in New England in 1992.

Most familiar to folk audiences as a founding member of the female trio Red Molly, CAROLANN SOLEBELLO returned to solo performance in August 2010 after six years of steady touring with the band. Her third solo CD – Threshold – the first since parting from Red Molly, was released in June 2011. She also has two previous solo albums to her credit, Just Across the Water (2000) and Glass of Desire (2009).

A New York City native, Carolann first fell in love with mountain music – and the bluegrass and country that grew out of that tradition – while working as an actor in East Tennessee and Kansas. Tunes and techniques she learned from musicians in both places fundamentally changed her approach to songwriting and guitar playing, and subsequently colored her work with Red Molly.

Saskatchewan-born, Brooklyn-based folk troubadour Ana Egge isn’t your run-of-the-mill alternative-country singer. Using unique production and rock-based chord progressions, Egge has made a name for herself as a Gillian Welch figure with a rocker attitude, which once prompted Lucinda Williams to call her “the Nina Simone of folk.”

Ana Egge was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan and grew up in the town of Ambrose, North Dakota, population 50. At 12, the family relocated to Silver City, New Mexico, where her parents established a school by the name of Down To Earth. Her astrology teacher, Don Musser, was an accomplished luthier and the summer before she turned 17, Musser invited Ana to apprentice with the intention of helping her build her own guitar. She drove to his house once a week for seven months until the guitar was completed and it is the main guitar she continues to play today. After living in Austin, TX for five years in the 90s while working on her music, Ana returned to Silver City and began building her own house on her sister’s land just outside of town. While she still maintains the home and visits often, she has called Brooklyn, NY her primary home since 2002.

Since their inception 9 years ago, the Sim Redmond Band has been steadily on the rise, forging new ground in roots music. Traveling around the globe, playing with the likes of moe., the Neville Brothers, the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, and Habib Koite, in some of the most beautiful venues in the U.S. and Japan, the world has taken notice. SRB's unique blend of roots-rock, Afro-Carribean, and reggae music continues to spread like wild fire. They are based in Ithaca, NY but their magnetic pole is Africa, particularly the sounds eminating from West & South Africa. This magnetic pole has served as a pivot for the Sim Redmond Band to spring into straight rock grooves and pumping reggae. The vocal teamwork of Sim Redmond, Jen Middaugh, and Nate Silas Richardson creates a male/female chemistry that is rare and beautiful. Lyrically, they explore dreams, truth, and matters of the heart. The music of the Sim Redmond Band has reached the hearts of people all around the world. They have toured extensively, selling over 10 thousand records in the U.S and over to 20,000 in Japan, where SRB has toured numerous times. Their latest CD "Room in These Skies" has caused quite a buzz already. The skies are the limit for SRB and there is plenty of room in these ones.

A good chunk of popular music’s real estate has been carved up along lines of age these last half-dozen decades, and we’re used to seeing young musicians aim exclusively for young audiences then flounder as they outgrow teenaged listeners’ tastes and concerns. Pan-generational mentoring and mingling has done much to insulate bluegrass from this coming-of-age quandary. Still, Sierra Hull is the rare soul to make it through these years entirely unscathed.

Secrets—the debut album she recorded at 15, and released at 16—struck the ear with sensibilities that seemed both seasoned and fresh; kids’ stuff this was not. Three years and a move from her family’s home in tiny Byrdstown, Ten. to Boston’s Berklee College of Music later, she’s followed with one of the most surefooted transitions into early adulthood put to record. Thirty seconds into the opening track, she sings a line that puts a fine point on it: “I’m not a child anymore.”

Emerging from the same New England city as Jack Kerouac, Lowell, Massachusetts native Bob Martin was heavily influenced by the beat poet's writing and career. Then while attending law school in Boston during the 60s, he became immersed in the Cambridge folk scene and played the Nameless Coffeehouse, Club 47 (now Club Passim) and eventually found himself sharing the bill at Gerde's Folk City in New York with some of folk's greatest songwriters.

"Bill Kirchen rules. It's just that simple. [His] no-nonsense diesel guitar attack, powered by great booming, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease, is undoubtedly the real thing, scattering scorching guitar runs in all directions, it's all immediate, in your face and more than a little dangerous.” - Austin American-Statesman

Home schooled by their mother Kim, a full-time classically trained piano teacher, Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand grew up making music together; singing, dancing and eventually learning to coax tunes out of the family violin.

At the age of eight, Andrew took a year of lessons from local old-time/country fiddler Norma "Granny" Sweet, who encouraged him to learn by ear, in the tradition of old-time New York State fiddlers in the region. Both boys were soon regularly attending local dances and jam sessions; practicing for hours a day at home and experimenting with writing their first original compositions. Andrew and Noah started taking mandolin and guitar lessons from renowned bluegrass musician, John Rossbach, then based in Syracuse. Nursing homes, farmer's markets and the occasional open mic at a fiddler's gathering were some of the boys' earliest public performances.
