The Lineup!
Kerry Grombacher is a modern-day troubadour whose songs and stories are rooted in the Western landscape. His song “Range of the Buffalo” was named 2021 Song of the Year by the International Western Music Association. He’s played on stages as varied as the Newport Folk Festival, the Arizona Cowboy Poets Gathering, the New Orleans Jazz Fest, and the parking lot of the Sands Motel in Grants NM -- where there’s a room named for him. His recordings are Range of the Buffalo, It Sings in the Hi-Line, Sands Motel, and Riding for the Brand. Artists including Jim Jones, Belinda Gail, Chris Chandler, Gary Prescott, The Texas Trailhands, Earl Gleason, Duke Davis, Ed Stabler, Lorrie Keating, and Trails & Rails have covered his songs, and his “Close ‘em on Up” appears on the Putumayo compilation, Cowboy Playground.
Kerry Grombacher is a member of Folk Alliance International and the International Western Music Association, and he participates in the artist endorsement program for Elixir Guitar and Mandolin Strings.

Eric Chapman is a singer-songwriter living in Blacksburg, Virginia. He writes songs because. He draws inspiration from many genres of music, but his songs often coalesce around folk, americana, and punk sounds and sensibilities. Occasionally you can find him playing with friends under the collective-associative moniker "The Devils You Know."
Lynn Crossett is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, TX. His latest albums reached the top of the Roots Music Report's Americana Country Album Chart in 2023 and again in 2025. Following the release of his 2025 album, "Autumn to August," he left his academic career as a legal studies professor to embark on a full-time music career and more ambitious touring schedule. Blending elements of folk and Americana, he crafts songs that are both introspective and observational with a genuine passion for the storytelling aspects of the troubadour tradition.
