JOE FLOOD
Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joe Flood has traveled a long musical road. He worked the streets of Paris with the Lost Wandering Blues and Jazz Band whose alumni include Madeleine Peyroux, written songs with Levon Helm of The Band, won a Gold Record for his work with Blues Traveler, and had on stage and studio encounters with such giants of American music as Pinetop Perkins, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and John Sebastian. Along the way he has played with tap dancers in New Orleans, Cuban musicians in Key West, Florida, gypsies in France and Italy, and done stints as a sideman with The Band’s Rick Danko, Eric Andersen, Kelly Willis, Happy and Artie Traum, Mojo Nixon, Tom Russell, Sylvia Tyson, Greg Trooper...and the list goes on.

Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter Brad Yoder has been writing and performing original songs for over 30 years.
He was a 2021 New Folk, and 2018 Wildflower Arts Fest finalist; his songs have appeared on network TV, in a museum exhibit, and (once) laser-engraved onto a TV tray. He also plays saxophones, and glockenspiel.
MIRABELLE SKIPWORTH
Mirabelle Skipworth is an alt-folk singer-songwriter from Pittsburgh PA who originally grew in Chicagland area. She spends a lot her time touring regionally sharing her songs. Her folk-inspired melodies and lyrics combined with a tinge of alt-rock influence makes for a dynamic, emotionally-intense experience. She occasionally draws on her own experiences, books, concepts, and other people’s stories. Her new EP, The Morning’s Malaise released in March 2023. Her single, The Deer Song, released January 5th 2023 and her newest single (Scary Story) released Oct. 25th in front of her upcoming EP.
STEPHEN CLAIR
A 2024 Relix Magazine "artist to watch" Stephen Clair is known for his wry humor and guitar stylings. He makes honesty sound catchy. Clair is an instinctive and open-hearted writer who doesn't stop touring, releasing albums, or winning fans. Rightly, Performing Songwriter says he’s "the kind of citified troubadour the roots songwriting world needs.”
