Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards
and
Steve Dedman of Plywood Cowboy

Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards bring us intuitive and exquisite vocal harmonies and carefully-crafted lyrics with accompaniment on guitar, harmonica, ukulele, penny whistle, electric bass, and most uniquely, clarinet. These prolific songwriters have recorded four studio albums in addition to thirteen live releases, touring regularly across the US and Canada.
Steve Dedman of Plywood Cowboy writes heart-born songs that interweave the rich heritage of country roots with singer-songwriter traditions. Dedman’s songs are featured on Plywood Cowboy’s 2016 debut album, Channel 33. Accolades for the music describe it as a “seriously hooky debut EP” (The Day) and “steeped in tradition, with lyrics full of longing, truth and heart” (Sound Waves Magazine).

Mad Agnes
and
Lara Herscovitch & The Highway Philosophers

Mad Agnes The genre-bending trio Mad Agnes delivers smart songwriting, passionate performances, and an ease with one another on stage that invites the audience into their world of human connection and spontaneous fun. They transport listeners with well crafted instrumentation, using guitars, mandolin, ukulele, piano, an inventive keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.
Lara Herscovitch is a singular, singer-songwriter-poet-performer-author The Boston Globe, she brings “a luminous voice and a buoyant stage presence… big-hearted lyrics embrace the sum of life… Herscovitch’s music blows on the embers of a lagging spirit or a dormant creative life.” (The Boston Globe).

Hugh Blumenfeld & Faithful Sky
and
David Coller & Dianę Chodkowski

Hugh Blumenfeld , a Connecticut-born former State Troubador, has been an active singer since the 1980’s. In the Greenwich Village music scene, he attended the Cornelia Street Songwriters Exchange, performed at Folk City and Speak Easy, helped edit the Fast Folk Musical Magazine (now part of the Smithsonian-Folkways collection), and recorded songs for a dozen issues. In the intervening years he has toured in the USA, in Europe, and in Israel.
David Coller and Diane Chodkowski are long time veterans of the singer/songwriter communities. David’s songs are straight-up folk, jazzy tunes that feel like standards, a bit of bluegrass, and some sea-songs, performed on the guitar, banjo, and the odd bit of button accordion. Diane has shared her vocal gift singing harmony and recording with Hugh Blumenfeld, Richard Shindell and Peter Yarrow, and as a member of Madwoman in the Attic (now Mad Agnes). Together they make music that will delight your ears.

Amani Burnham

Mad Amani Burnham At just 20 years old, Burnham’s emergence has been meteoric. In less than two years, he amassed more than 20 million views on TikTok, with millions more across Instagram and other social media platforms. His remarkable guitar work, characterized by the unique use of his thumb, oozes with raw emotion that resonates throughout his passionate singing and evocative songwriting.
Burnham draws on the pure power of the classic blues trio—just guitar, bass, and drums. Joined by bassist Steve Griffith and drummer Emil Berube, his stripped-down and dynamic playing hits with clarity and force, delivering a sound that’s both intimate and thunderous. The passion in his performance is unmistakable.
