Megan Bee
Evocative Folk-Americana with A Sense of place
Singer-songwriter Megan Bee writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her fourth album "Cottonwood" has been called "as real as it gets" and was listed in the best of 2022 by Americana UK and No Depression Magazine. Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. Her background as an environmental educator, farmhand, and vagabond once took her into a desert wilderness where she found her voice around a campfire. She bases in the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting.

Mike Ratliff
After 2 decades on the open road as a trucker, Mike Ratliff stepped into the spotlight as a solo performer and songwriter. From the winding highways to the soulful diners carrying the grit from the coalfields and a heart full of compassion, Mike’s journey is etched in the melodies he crafted during his years on the road. His songs are not just songs but a connection to the raw authenticity of life’s journey - Anna Jinja

John A. Walsh
John’s special talent for lyrical depth coupled with an oft-times off-the-beaten-path style of chord progression and song structure renders unique, listenable and memorable songs. His songs have been described as "intensely personal," "he sang what I wanted to say..." and "the lyrics read like a painting..." Walsh is also an accomplished guitarist and vocalist blessed with a very listenable tonal range.
John's live performances are known for their energy, authenticity, and emotional connection. Whether playing in a small, intimate venue or on a large stage, he captivates audiences with his expressive playing and heartfelt delivery. His ability to engage and move listeners has earned him a loyal following and critical acclaim.
