About this Event
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Paula Fong commands attention the moment she takes the stage. She pairs pure-toned clarity with a soulful power that defies her small stature. Her sound traverses the full landscape of roots music—from stark Gillian Welch-style acoustic to country swing to rockin’ singer/songwriter strength. Her genre versatility draws comparisons to Patty Griffin, Linda Ronstadt and Karla Bonoff. Whether performing solo with acoustic guitar, alongside multi-instrumentalist Phil Glenn (Moonsville, Show Ponies), or with a full band, Fong captivates with warmth, surprising intensity, and grit. The single "Ophelia" from her debut EP Chestnut Mare earned International Acoustic Music Award recognition, with 2026 bringing a bold statement of her versatility through a 10 song full-length album produced by Justin James Sinclair (ROSIE, Jenny Owen Youngs, Weezer, Kate Micucci, Train).
Emily Laliotis (she/her) is channeling the femme troubadours of the past with wit and grace. An award-winning Folk/Americana Singer-Songwriter based in LA, Emily’s “mature and feminine voice” [UndergroundHK] captivates listeners— “she is singing with the intelligence and soul of someone beyond her years.” [solcofn] Listeners glimpse Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, Laura Marling and Brandi Carlile in her timeless, deft vocals. Straddling the old and the new, her songs tell personal stories of struggle, growth, and joy. Emily commands song form by using and breaking traditional structures, and her training in classical voice, Byzantine chant, musical theater, and Greek folk music influence her creative process. Drawn in by her voice, you will find yourself mesmerized by the way that Emily Laliotis makes you feel.
Rocko Wheeler is a Texas-born songwriter, crafting cinematic, roots-driven songs with soul and storytelling at the center. His sound blends melodic folk and classic country—nostalgic, outlaw-leaning, and lyrically rich. His music feels lived-in, evocative, and unmistakably authentic.
