Kelly Hunt
Memphis-raised singer-songwriter Kelly Hunt paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo, reimagining traditions of folk, blues & old-time music in a style that hovers beyond the constraints of genre. Hunt’s debut album, Even The Sparrow, was released in May 2019 and named as a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” Her sophomore album, Ozark Symphony, was recorded with Grammy-winning musician & producer Dirk Powell and released on Compass Records in 2023.

Kirstie Lynn
Originally from the Fingerlakes region of Upstate, NY, Kirstie Lynn is a classically trained vocalist with a passion for songwriting. With her striking voice and intricate finger-picking on guitar, her songs marry poetry and melody, providing a story-teller perspective on the trials and triumphs of life. As an aspiring conservationist and naturalist, Kirstie's songs draw deep inspiration from nature and elements of all the places she has called home: from the lilacs of Rochester, to the bridges of London, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia, and the sweeping prairies of the Midwest. Listeners have compared her style to that of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Brandi Carlile, and Judy Collins, but her singing is truly something new and refreshing.
