"Between his piano chops, charismatic stage presence, and heartfelt originals on guitar, [Matt Nakoa] drops jaws." - The Boston Globe

Duluth, MN, singer-songwriter RACHAEL KILGOUR has built a devoted following over the last ten years, captivating audiences with a balance of provocative, topical lyrics, passionate musical delivery, and a charmingly witty stage presence. She was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner of the 2015 NewSong Music Contest, a win that earned her a performance Lincoln Center in NYC.  http://www.rachaelkilgour.com/

KIRSTEN MAXWELL is a versatile 23 year-old vocalist, guitarist and songwriter who has quickly become a recognized fixture on the Long Island singer-songwriter scene. She was the winner of the 2016 South Florida Folk Festival Singer-Songwriter Competition and performed at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival this summer. http://www.kirstenmaxwell.com/

"... Kirsten Maxwell's clear soprano rings out in a way that would make Judy Collins and Joan Baez approve. She backs that up with skillful guitar playing and a growing collection of well-crafted songs. It's exciting to imagine what the future holds for her."
— John Platt, "Sunday Supper" WFUV-NYC
