The Sky Colony
In their musical endeavors, the members of The Sky Colony have created a sound which is not compared to that of many modern artists. While dancing around traditional folk and classic sounding song structure, they often blend many sounds from each member's varied influences to make something that is unique and almost stands alone. An age old story of folk music, a blade of bluegrass, a twang of roots country, and even a far off scream of a metal guitar turned clean, this band has illuminated all these aspects with an emphasis on intricacy and harmony.

Nathaniel Talbot
"I work on the farm 60 hours a week between March and October. An average week during the busy season has two harvest days, one market day, and three days of weeding, planting, and everything else." It's a busy life for singer-songwriter and farmer NATHANIEL TALBOT, who runs an organic vegetable farm on Whidbey Island, in Washington State's Puget Sound. In addition to farming, he's just released his fourth album, SWAMP ROSE & HONEYSUCKLE VINE on Portland, Oregon's Fluff & Gravy Records. The album marks the harvest of a different sort for Talbot, who has also spent over two decades tending to the crafts of songwriting and guitar playing. His songs on the new album are intimately tied to the lush farmland and windswept vistas of Whidbey Island, deeply rooted in the earth and American traditionalism.
