                     Spears’s lyrics bring listeners in touch with the warmth of community, the quiet awe of wild places, and the intimate corners of humanity. Inspired by her father's English Folk heritage and talents as a Jazz pianist, Natalie carries a deep love for porch picking music and music that swings.
Gabrielle Louise and Ryan Dilts are a pairing of sensitivity and force, performing songs that combine Americana, folk and bluegrass traditions. Gabrielle’s emotive vocal delivery and songwriting is elevated by the nuance and precision of Ryan’s guitar work. It seems to dance in pattern with her, weaving a hypnotic spell that transports the listener and suspends the sensation of time.

                     into a varied solo career under the same moniker (taken from a character in several William S. Burrough novels). With a kaleidoscopic musical catalog ranging from 1998’s debut album You Were A Diamond, to the 2001 breakout The Ghost of Fashion (ranked 3rd best album of the year by Rolling Stone), to the fan-collaborated Songs We Made recordings as well as the recent and mesmerizing A Life In Song project, Eef’s unmistakeable voice and disarming lyrics led NPR to rate him “the most underrated songwriter in the business today, with a sneakily firm grasp on poignancy and humor”. Eef’s legendary covers range from Bob Dylan to the Bee Gees to Neutral Milk Hotel, and his 2017 rendition of The Velvet Underground’s “I’ll Be Your Mirror” was featured in the soundtrack to the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning The Handmaid’s Tale. His most recent album, produced by Scott Avett of the Avett Brothers, features members of The Avett Brothers, Band of Horses, Dashboard Confessional, and Old Crow Medicine Show.
