Jacob Furr is an award-winning songwriter, multi instrumentalist, collaborator, and genre fluid artist from Fort Worth, Texas. His work blends West Coast folk with the dusty expanses of West Texas, and explores themes and stories of love, loss, grief, and recovery. He has toured the US since 2014. Furr has opened for Peter Case, Dan Bern, Shovels and Rope, Devotchka, and Over The Rhine, among others.
Jacob Furr calls Fort Worth, Texas home. He has long been a strong advocate for local, DIY music.

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.
