KAREN MAL
Karen Mal sings. From raw sensuality to shimmering bell-like clarity, her voice is both tender and powerful, and as effortless as a waterfall. There's a river that flows between Karen and her audience. It's about love. The possibility and the unbearable beauty of it. Elusive and abundant at the same time.

Based in Austin, TX, Karen has created a name for herself as a captivating singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. Ranging from charming to seductive, impressionistic to philosophical, her songs have brought her nationwide acclaim. Shes won top awards from the Wildflower Arts and Music Festival in Texas, the Tucson Folk Festival and the Portland Songwriters Association and has also been a three time New Folk Finalist at Kerrville, emerging artist at Falcon Ridge and a finalist at the Sisters Folk Festival.

LAURIE McCLAIN
Laurie McClain is a singer songwriter based out of Nashville, Tennessee. She tours nationally on the folk/Americana concert circuit, and occasionally tours internationally. Her original heartfelt songs are messages of hope to a weary world.

"Laurie's songs explore themes of identity, growth, friendship and love in a way that always honors the fundamental mysteries of the human journey. She conveys the stubborn optimism of the experienced innocent. In this Mecca of songwriters, she is a gem of uniqueness and authenticity." -JM Kearns
