Originally from Kansas, Nathan and Rebecca Bliss were introduced by a booking agent in the small town of Prairie Village, and began playing cover music in bars...no one listening...a football game playing on the TV right over their heads. It was a humble beginning, but both were writing original music in secret and longed for a different life. Best friends, and also hopelessly in love but unable to be together for a multitude of reasons, they stopped playing music together a year later. Rebecca moved New York where she completed an EP of original songs dealing with love and loss, while Nathan stayed in Kansas and recorded an EP of his own. The two were reconnected the followin...

The musical journey of Stefanie Fix is diverse & fascinating; a rising star on the acoustic songwriter’s circuit she mysteriously stopped touring in 2006.

Stefanie Fix is ready to share her songs again live. As a teenage Fix was enchanted with acoustic music & found herself hanging out at song swaps, learning from legends like Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie.

In 2010, Bobbie was selected as a New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas, and will be headed to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in July for an Emerging Artist Showcase on the Main Stage.
With a pair of new albums last year and two more on the way, Bobbie Lancaster may have — after a few twists, turns and roadblocks — finally found her road home. She's finished recording her first solo album, a second children's CD, and along the way, developed a gutty yet sweet stage persona.
The Bloomington singer has a bouncing, smiling, in-the-moment stage presence; she can crank it up like Sheryl Crow and Bonnie Raitt, and engage a crowd with her subtle stage charms. Watching ... More in the full listing... |

| Chris O’Brien’s upbringing could hardly be classified as typical. O’Brien was raised in Western Massachusetts. He is the son of two women. As the cliche goes “It takes a village to raise a child.” That’s exactly what O’Brien got, a village of talented and supportive people, mostly women, who raised him. Music was an important part of his life from the beginning but it wasn’t until summer camp, when O’Brien was 14, that he discovered his love for the guitar and songwriting. At 21 his passion for performing pushed him to join the renowned Boston music scene, where he met and befriended musicians such as Ellis Paul, Antje Duvekot and Meg Hutchinson.
