Meredith Edgar Trio

Meredith Edgar is a San Francisco-based singer-songwriter. With smoky-sweet ethereal vocals, she's been said to have "the voice of a chain-smoking angel." Cindy Emch of Secret Emchy Society said that Meredith "sounds like she stepped out of the starring singer role in a David Lynch movie."

She has shared bills with artists such as Mark Eitzel, The Crooked Jades, The Pine Box Boys, Paula Frazer & Tarnation, Andrés Miguel Cervantes, Ismay, and many more.

Her songs are a haunting, melodic mix of passion and melancholy, seamlessly blending the styles of folk, Americana, and jazz into a unique form. For fans of Jolie Holland, Kathleen Edwards, Julie London, and Fiona Apple.

Kentucky Mule

Kentucky Mule is an alternative country band based in Santa Cruz, California. The vocalist and songwriter, Coleton Joe Tidwell, effortlessly weaves small-town storytelling and metropolitan modernity. This pairs well with an old-school outlaw rhythm section provided by his backing band of Scott Willis (lead guitar), Will Iermini (bass & vocals), Lizzy Smith (fiddle & vocals) & Troy Nadeau (drums). Altogether the band tips its cap to the full spectrum of country music while seamlessly blending in their outside influences.

The Confidants

"A few years back, in my day job, I interviewed a touring musician. I don’t want to give too much away, because it was off the record; they were talking about another member of their band. Talking about adventures and conversations that they’d had on tour which sounded very intimate. I asked them - again, it was off the record, but still none of my business - if that person was a ‘confidant.’ And I meant if they were sleeping together. And it hadn’t occurred to me, prior to that, if ‘confidant’ meant someone you’re sleeping with on tour, but right then, it obviously did. So back to the present situation - this is not that band. I hope they’re doing well. But we formed our own band. And yeah, we’re the Confidants.”
