“At her most compelling, Hunt crafts breathtaking ballads with heartrending melodies reminiscent of Merle Haggard’s soulful best.” — No Depression

“Searching for a spiritual poignancy in the emotional sentiments of folk storytelling, Phoebe Hunt is acutely aware of the human condition, its triumphs and setbacks, and the divides set between us. ” — PopMatters

Whereas the fiddle and voice are often the final elements, or icing on the cake of a full band recording, on Earthly Syndication, due out mid-2023 on Thirty Tigers, Phoebe Hunt explores what it sounds like when the fiddle and vocals represent the whole cake. Drawing from 30 years spent studying the violin/fiddle, Hunt amalgamates her classical upbringing with Appalachian Old Time, Texas Swing, and a maturity of songwriting that creates an unfiltered, raw expression dripping with palatable vulnerability.

Will Kimbrough lives in Nashville, but his roots are in Alabama and you can hear that in in music Will is equal parts songwriter, storyteller and musician. He's a Grammy-nominated producer as well as an Americana Music Association "Instrumentalist of the Year". He's got gold records and cuts on big albums from luminaries like Jimmy Buffett, Little Feet, Todd Snider and Radney Foster. He's one of outlaw country's go to sidemen, and is right now out touring with EmmyLou Harris. He is "that" guy. One of the heroes of Americana that are not always household names. But for those who know him, Will is the real deal, the kind of performer you can't forget, and want to tell your friends about And he's a guy who gives back, working regularly with combat veterans and first responders as part of the Songwriting with Soldiers team.

NPR said: "As a hired-gun guitar-slinger for the likes of Rodney Crowell, Todd Snider, Josh Rouse and others, Will Kimbrough has earned a reputation as an "alien" — a little joke among the alt-country cognoscenti that it's the only way to explain Kimbrough's otherworldly prowess. Fortunately for Kimbrough, who aspires to a solo career, his songwriting chops are solid, too"

AllMusic said: "Kimbrough's ease is that of a veteran musician, one who knows enough not to hurry or hit his points too hard. This light touch results in an alluring slow-burner of an album built upon a clutch of songs that slowly creep into the subconscious."

Will’s latest album is 2020’s Spring Break, an all acoustic collection that tips the hat to the classic folk and blues recordings of Vanguard and Folkways. He is putting the finishing touches on a new record, When This is All Over, for release in 2023.

Ever since finding the freedom of a driver’s license, Beth Bombara has been chasing a dream down highways across the country to share music with audiences all over. After playing guitar and keys in various other bands, encouragement from peers led her to start writing and performing her own music. “I never set out to be a lead singer,” she admits. “I wasn’t comfortable being in the spotlight like that. I had wicked anxiety, and talking into a microphone just froze me up.” But the songs were there, and who better to sing them than the mind who imagined them? So Bombara confronted her fear and started performing her own material, slowly watering small seeds that would grow into something she never imagined. “Writing a song is one thing, but performing it in front of an audience is completely different.” After self-releasing her first album, she was invited to perform in front of 10,000 people at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. “I figured if I can do that, I can do anything.”

Her songs live in the same world as greats like Petty and Dylan; Gillian and Joni, and grow up like trees drawing nourishment from their roots music. But she never, ever sounds like the "typical" artist who claims these influences; Bombara to zig where someone else might zag, making harder or gentler turns, brushing up against jazz or taking rock toward its fulfillment. 

Bombara’s work has garnered high praise from L.A. Weekly, American Songwriter Magazine, No Depression, NPR stations, BBC Radio and more. She is working on a new album to be released late summer 2023 on Black Mesa Records.
