If Steve Earle and Elvis Costello got pissed enough to write political tunes, they would sound like Pete Kronowitt songs. Pete’s songs are a reminder that good songwriting doesn’t stay in one lane, sharp enough to leave a mark, just enough bite to keep it from behaving. Melodic songs that know when to be tender and when to have fun, that can whisper or hook you with a grin. Thoughtful, melodic, and occasionally sharp-tongued, his writing balances heart, humor, and craft. www.petekronowittmusic.com petekronowitt.bandcamp.com

Veronica Margaret is a folk singer-songwriter who was once described as a 140 year old ghost trapped in the body of a 28-year-old woman. Her songs reflect a timeless storytelling and a whimsy nearly thought lost in the ages. Her debut album, The Ghost of Veronica Margaret, will be released in 2026

Annie Sea sings soul-folk music to move and amuse. Her music weaves the groovy soul of Tracy Chapman and India Arie with the lyricism of Joni Mitchell. Her poignant, earth-centered songs appeal to fans of Ayla Nereo and Rising Appalachia, while her clever, humorous tunes provide a twist on the standard singer-songwriter fare. Based in the Green Dream tiny home in Portland, Oregon, she strives to pursue an eco-conscious life in alignment with her message.

After meeting in Palo Alto in 2023 and sharing their mutual love of American roots music, Kyle Bagwell and Anna Troy decided to get together to learn some Elmore James and Hank Williams tunes. This quickly led to the discovery of a powerful musical chemistry and passion for songwriting. Less than a year later, they are now completing a new CD, Out of the Blue, with 13 original compositions. Their music builds on a broad Americana foundation, with strong blues, country, folk and jazz influences. https://bagwelltroy.com/
