Sky Smeed was born and raised outside of Chanute, Kansas in an old, one-room schoolhouse that his parents bought and turned into a home in the early 1970’s. In 2017 he sold the country home he built by hand and migrated to Lawrence, Kansas, a place that has provided a non-stop supply of creativity and community, and began settling into an old fixer upper on the north side of the Kaw River.
Smeed has been touring and performing full time for sixteen years. He’s zigzagged across the United States many times and has brought his folk music overseas for two tours that covered England, Scotland and Wales. Sky has released eight full-length albums, and his music has recently been featured on NBC’s crime drama The Blacklist. His songs can be heard almost every Sunday on the legendary Trail Mix show curated by folk DJ Bob McWilliams on Kansas Public Radio.
He also wrote The Lawrence Humane Society’s theme song! In addition to his performances, Sky runs a home recording studio where he produces music with his longtime musician friends and collaborators.
Barak Hill is an Americana singer-songwriter with roots in folk, soul, and rock and roll. Barak's talents were recognized when he was chosen from among thousands of entrants as the winner of American Songwriter Magazine’s Santa Cruz Guitar Song Contest. He was also voted one of Southwest Missouri's top three solo musicians by 417 Magazine readers.
Barak’s songs and sound run in the same vein as artists like Ray LaMontagne, Steve Earle, and Amos Lee. Lyric-driven, heartbroken Americana hanging on to a fistful of hope that things might just get better, delivered with a soulful voice and strong guitar work.
Barak has shared stages with national acts like Jay Farrar (Son Volt) and Amanda Shires (The Highwomen), as well as regional legends like Big Smith and The Ben Miller Band. Playing around 150 shows yearly has made him a confident, dynamic performer whose original songs, along with a handful of cherished covers, connect with audiences on a deep level.
