R.O. Shapiro and Liney Blu

R.O. SHAPIRO--

A troubadour, a traveler peddling original tunes of love, loss, and social justice, carefully crafted and soulfully sung

(For fans of Josh Ritter, Bahamas, Hiss Golden Messenger)

R.O. Shapiro is a purveyor of original Americana music, carefully crafted and soulfully sung, drawing comparisons to Josh Ritter, Hiss Golden Messenger, and Bahamas. Originally from the very East End of Long Island, NY, he cut his teeth performing in the world-famous live music scene of Austin, TX, and has been perpetually on the road for the better part of a decade. R.O. is a winner of the 2022 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk songwriting contest, a 2024 NewSong Competition finalist, and has recently toured with May Erlewine, Jeffrey Martin, and Taylor Ashton. In February 2025 he released the four-song EP, recorded in part with producer/instrumentalist Phil Cook. He is currently based in Northern California, and regularly tours solo in the US and Canada, always on the lookout for new communities and stages where he can share his authentic warmth and wit.

LINEY BLU--

(For fans of Gigi Perez, Waxahatchee, Adrienne Lenker)

Singer songwriter Liney Blu writes from a unique place of personal experience and identity. Liney vividly shows us how vulnerability is strength and requires us to see love, frustration, disappointment and humor through lenses we may not have considered. Every song finds Liney passionately and sometimes bravely exploring a broader, more inclusive understanding of the human experience while letting us into some sacred personal spaces to do so.
