Vance Gilbert
Vance Gilbert: “If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert", says Richmond Magazine.
Considered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene - and one of the originators of the finally recognized R&B/Folk/Jazz crossover-sub-genre - this Boston-based stalwart was born and raised in the Philadelphia area. In 1992, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City tour. “With the voice of an angel, the wit of a devil, and the guitar playing of a god...”, swooned The Fort Worth Star-Telegram about one of those shows.

Garnet Rogers
Barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.
Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as “one of the major talents of our time and a “charismatic performer and singer” (Boston Globe). Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence and a voice to match. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post), his incredible range, and his thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move his audience from tears to laughter and back again
