Dan Blakeslee - With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the smoke laden subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. His songs of true life adventures combine the essence of early folk music with a dose of country grit. He has toured the U.S. and abroad performing with Josh Ritter, Sean Rowe, David Wax Museum, Lydia Loveless, The Lumineers, Old 97's, The Black Lillies, Liam Finn and Kimya Dawson among others. In 2015 his dream of playing Newport Folk Festival became a reality, the location where Bob Dylan went electric 50 years earlier. Dan Blakeslee delivers his songs with that same heart of a young, lyric scribbling troubadour, who knows because he’s tried it, can out sing a passing train.https://danblakeslee.com/
Charlie Chronopoulos - Born in Lowell, MA and raised by an exotic dancer and a guitarist in a southern rock band, Charlie Chronopoulos started performing in lounges by age 12. His playing quickly earned him a residency at The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom opening for bands like the Doobie Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, and Cheap Trick. Along the way, he caught the attention of grammy winner Serj Tankian (System of a Down) who cast him as the lead guitarist in his rock opera 'Prometheus Bound'. After working on several broadway-productions under tony winner Diane Paulus, he felt the need to be more present in his life and retreated to rural NH.
Self-producing out of an 1800s mill and driving hours in the snow to play regional lounges, he built his sound brick by brick. He began developing a reputation as a producer/multi-instrumentalist, and soon found himself producing for artists such as Jelly Roll, Joyner Lucas, Chris Webby, Token, Brady Watt, O.A.R., and SNL skits starring Chris Stapleton + Ryan Gosling. His upcoming full-length album is something he describes as "Outlaw Rumours" features the single 'Don't Say a Thing'
