Meg Baird

Over the years Meg has played as part of the Baird Sisters along with her sister Laura, as well as with the Philadelphia psych-folk collective, Espers. Her first solo album, Dear Companion was released in 2007. It features Baird's high, pure vocals and intricately picked guitar, the album conjures up the timeless and universal nature of the best folk music. The songs are deeply rooted in traditional song forms, from age-old British Isles ballads to Appalachian laments, as well as the 60s and 70s singer-songwriter era.

Sharron Kraus

Sharron Kraus creates music rooted in the folk traditions of England and Appalachia. Her work is characterized by rich vocals, haunting banjo and fine acoustic guitar. Her live performances are stark, compelling, and delicate. As with her music, her performance continues the tradition of the balladeer bringing tales of terror, sadness and joy.
