Along with their bass player Will Pavilonis, Megan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Maddie (guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals) have forged a new sound that has no equivalent match in the acoustic world today.

Patrick Dethlefs

(Pronounced “DET-Lefs”)Patrick Dethlefs’ songwriting crests like a humble Townes Van Zandt, innocent of his own haunting melodies and lyricism. Dethlefs’ music offers folk Americana with effortless sincerity at a time when many acts strive purposefully to revive the stripped-down feel of a musical history long past.

Bluebook

Bluebook is the haunting apocalyptic lounge project of Julie Davis, Jess Parsons, Hayley Helmericks, and Anna Morsett. NPR describes Davis’ music as offering, “beautifully structured dynamics and captivating sonic twists,” and Kyle Harris of The Westword describes Bluebook’s album, The Astronaut’s Wife, as “a jewel…superb…phenomenal,” and The Denver Post Reverb says Bluebook “gives haunting, holy voice to some of the darkest spots of imagination.”
