Sloan Wainwright
sloanwainwright.com
Sloan Wainwright is a songwriter, singer, performer, teacher, mentor and collaborator. A unique hybrid of pop, folk, jazz and blues, Wainwright’s music is unified by her melodious tone and rich, powerful contralto. Over the course of a 30-year career in music, she has played the great concert halls, the most storied listening rooms and top music festivals while also teaching at the nation’s leading music retreats. She has inspired hundreds of students on their creative journeys and collaborated with dozens of musicians, writers, choreographers and performers.
Most of all, Wainwright is an artist. As a member of an acclaimed family of artists (brother Loudon Wainwright, sister-in-law Kate McGarrigle, nephew Rufus Wainwright and nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche), Wainwright has charted an artistic path all her own, one based in close observation, joy, and spiritual connection.
Now, standing on the foundation of a rich and diverse career, Wainwright is tapping into fresh material as she continues to provide transformative, healing, and energetic experiences for her audiences. Always looking to grow as an artist, these days Wainwright is pursuing new collaborative partnerships, exploring traditional music, and developing fresh avenues for teaching and mentorship.
“They say you stand a chance of being a good musician if you first become a good human being. Sloan is a wonderful singer and all-round musician, and as a teacher really overlaps into the role of a life coach ~ she has given skill and confidence to so many.” ~ Richard Thompson

Us! Trio

Three award-winning singer-songwriters, Judy Kass, Glen Roethel, and Amy Soucy combine their eclectic talents and musical influences to encourage positive change, unity, and dialogue. The trio spices their message-driven songs with luscious harmonies, robust melodies, and unexpected twists and turns. The Us! co-write, “Too Much Crying” garnered a Gold Award in the Open Category of the 36th Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. Us! is currently recording their first album with an anticipated release in 2024.
Judy Kass draws in her audience with soulful vocals, no-nonsense lyrical storytelling, and genre-bending exploration of guitar and piano. Her 2014 debut album, “Better Things” and her 2016 CD, “Beyond the Ash and Steel” received notable airplay and appeared on the Folk DJ List of Top Albums. An award-winning songwriter, Judy’s single “Saving You”, written as part of Caffe Lena’s TrueSongs – Lyrics of Life program, was named first place winner in the Great American Song Contest’s 2019 Singer Songwriter Category. https://www.judykass.com/
Reared on earnest 70’s songs, show tunes, MTV, and 90’s folk-rock, Amy Soucy ultimately found her voice and honed her songwriting chops in the folk scene. She writes evocative songs exploring the kaleidoscope of human experience, and sings them in a voice that’s been called “powerful,” and “angelic.” Her first album, This River, won her a coveted Emerging Artist spot at Falcon Ridge Folk Fest and 1st place in CT Folk’s Song Competition. www.amysoucymusic.com

An award-winning songwriter, Glen has electrified juried showcases for Folk Alliance, S.M.A.F., Falcon Ridge Folk, Cape May Singer-Songwriter, and emPower Music & Arts PosiFest with songs that are memoirs, anecdotes, tender love songs, Earth tributes, and anthemic calls for unity and empowerment. www.glenroethel.com
