Martha Scanlan & Jon Neufeld: Anyone familiar with Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld's unique alchemy on stage will not be surprised by the sense of being taken into the moment their shows are in and of themselves a journey of improvisation; the way Jon Neufeld's brilliant innovative guitar playing weaves effortlessly around Martha's timeless songwriting is simply magical. They met playing together at Portland's Indie Roots festival Pickathon in 2010, shortly before recording Tongue River Stories, a beautifully stark album of field recordings captured on film at the 120-year-old family ranch where Martha was living and working in a remote corner of south east Montana. After touring with the innovative old-time string band Reeltime Travelers, Martha recorded her debut solo album The West Was Burning at Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, New York with Dirk Powell and Levon and Amy Helm, it was heralded as an instant classic, one of those rare albums that defies genre and generation. After Tongue River Stories came The Shape Of Things Gone Missing, The Shape Of Things To Come, recorded in Portland with members of Black Prairie and The Decemberists. A featured album by World Cafe's David Dye and No Depression's Amos Perrine.

Will Fourt & Sheila Golden are an acoustic duo out of the Santa Cruz Mountains. They bring a little swing, a little bluegrass, and some good old fashion folk and they write a lot of songs. In 2016 they made an album, Mendocino Paintings, produced by Jim Lewin. They play festivals with their full bluegrass band, The Down Beets.
