Featured Artists

Misner & Smith

The journey to Northern California's Americana duo Misner & Smith's highly anticipated and arguably most lyrically introspective and acutely resonant release, All Is Song (April 12th, 2024), took an unexpected path, necessitating incredible patience and resiliency. Although more than a decade had passed since they last released an album of original material with the critically acclaimed Seven Hour Storm (2013), they began conceiving the project on the heels of their much heralded cover album Headwaters (2017).

Featuring Joe Craven of the legendary Garcia/Grisman Band (Jerry Garcia and David Grisman); Matt Hartle; Larry Graff; & Dan Robbins. Painted Mandolin ls grooving energy and vocals featuring mandolin, fiddle, a variety of percussion, acoustic guitar, "banjotar" (a 6 string guitar tuned banjo), and bass that create a sound of memories, traditions and innovations all in a fresh jam that spans a pallet of acoustic roots, bluegrass, jamgrass and Americana.

Marilyn Jordan

Marilyn Jordan’s debut album, Both Things Are True (Release date: March 3rd, 2023) gathers ten songs written over ten years while raising children and trying to find the light through the rain.

Diane Patterson

On Diane Patterson’s sixth solo recording Satchel of Songs (Release date: March 8th, 2022), Patterson’s trademark mystic-acoustic-Americana, music-as-activism, and love-as-revolution are ever-present, buoyed and inspired by years of touring in the US, Europe, and her beloved Scandinavia, where she has spent extensive heartfelt time

Paul Benoit

During the pandemic lockdown, she started learning songs that she had always loved but had never had time to work on and arrange. Her seventeenth album, Interpretations Vol 1 (Jan. 19th, 2024), pays homage to writers and songs that have long inspired her. The collection includes songs by Neil Young, Kate Wolf, Rev. Gary Davis, Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Abbey Lincoln, the Grateful Dead, and Sting.

Joanne Rand

Acclaimed West Coast performer Joanne Rand celebrates her thirty-five-year recording career by releasing Stay Awhile, her 18th studio album (Release date: March 8th, 2023) of original songs and arguably one of her best. The release of Stay Awhile coincides with Joanne Rand's 2023 digital reissue of her first album, Home, a beloved and powerful trove of songs released in 1988 and unavailable for the past two decades.

Kora Feder

A rising voice in the new generation of singer-songwriters, Kora Feder is up to the task of confronting the times we live in.  Feder’s first full-length album, In Sevens (Release date: April 2nd, 2019), is an honest and poetic testament to the modern age.  From living in Asia and Europe with a backpack and a guitar while working for various International NGO’s to the apocalyptic realization of returning home to modern America, these are the songs of a young woman coming of age and holding her own.
