"Hans Holzen is a guitarist, songwriter, bandleader, and sideman based in Madison, WI. While his style is best described as 'Americana,' his influences range widely, creating a complex and unique sound. Hans is heavily influenced by the music of his hometown, Nashville, TN, where many amazing musicians and unique experiences shaped his style and approach to music. He currently performs under his own name and is a member of the Shauncey Ali Quartet.Hans might be a new musician to the Madison scene, but he has a long history of performing and touring from his stints in New York City and Nashville. Most notably he played guitar for songwriters Carrie Rodriguez, Chip Taylor, and Peter Bradley Adams and performed with the Mark O’Connor String Celebration Ensemble. Hans has opened for acts such as Lucinda Williams and John Prine and performed on Austin City Limits and a Prairie Home Companion."

"The Farleys are married musicians and songwriters Mike and Jen Farley of Madison, Wisconsin. Mike has been in rock bands for much of his life, most notably the award-winning Mike Farley Band in the ‘90’s and early ‘00’s. Mike Farley has released six albums and two EPs with and without MFB, most recently 2020’s B-Sides and Rarities.
Jen has also won several awards with her all-female trio Gin, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets, one of Madison’s most popular bands. Their most recent release was 2018’sLean; and the band remains very active touring in and around Wisconsin. Mike and Jen have written and performed together off and on since first meeting in 2001. They released an EP, Cover Two Cover, under the moniker The Luckiest in 2019. After rebranding themselves The Farleys, the duo returned to the studio with Paradyme
Production’s Jake Johnson at the helm in the summer of 2021 to record 'Christmas Time,' a song Mike literally unearthed from their basement that he wrote three decades ago. The melodic track features Mike and Jen’s lush harmonies and an arrangement that delivers holiday spirit even in the middle of summer, and will be featured on the upcoming compilation A Rock by the Sea Christmas Vol. 12. The duo released another single, 'Collecting Dust' in 2022."
