Craig Bickhardt
craigbickhardt.com
By the time Craig Bickhardt was 25 years old he’d signed a record contract with Bob Dylan’s manager Albert Grossman; inked an artist development deal with legendary talent impresario and head of Atlantic Records Ahmet Ertegun; had one of his songs recorded by Art Garfunkel; shared the concert stage with Bruce Springsteen, Stephen Stills and Harry Chapin; lost nearly everything he owned in a California house fire; and had his only guitar stolen by a junkie in NYC. Three decades later, despite steady touring and achieving respectable success scoring music for the Academy Award winning film Tender Mercies and writing songs that have been covered by Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, B. B. King, Kris Kristofferson, Alison Krauss, Kathy Mattea and many others, Bickhardt remains a relatively undiscovered artist. His new CD, Outpourings, is being played on Folk and Americana stations worldwide and made it to #2 on the Folk/Americana DJ Chart.

Halley Neal

Halley Neal is an award winning folk singer and songwriter whose live shows center on themes of positivity and peace. The formerly-Nashville-currently-Boston-based artist is often joined by her backing band of upright bass and fiddle. Halley’s lyrical folk-Americana songs are met with her soaring vocals and an upbeat bluegrass inspired instrumentation. Halley has gained national recognition from touring across the country to listening rooms and folk music venues and from her performances at festivals, notably the Kerrville Folk Fest, Rocky Mountain Folks Fest and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Halley released her most recent solo record “Beautiful and Blue” to critical acclaim on September 30th, 2022. Her live shows are remembered for her effortless vocals and honest lyrics.

Tom Hampton
tomhampton.com
Tom Hampton is a dynamic multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and longtime session musician known for his versatility and captivating live performances. As a member of the legendary country-rock band Poco, Hampton has cemented his place in the lineage of American roots music. His recent album, A Month of Somedays, marks a powerful return to his songwriting roots, blending the introspective storytelling of influences like Jackson Browne and Stephen Stills with a modern sensibility akin to Jason Isbell and John Moreland.
The songs on A Month of Somedays are a reflection of Hampton’s years of soul-searching and life on the road, touching on themes of renewal, relationships, and personal growth. Tracks like “Gasoline” and “The Ghost Of The Girl With The Smiling Eyes” showcase his ability to craft vivid character studies, while “Wrong Side of History” confronts social issues with a sharp lyrical edge. The album also features poignant moments like “Disappear,” a deeply personal tribute to original Poco drummer George Grantham, who lived with Hampton while transitioning into assisted living.
With a career that has seen him perform alongside legends like The Marshall Tucker Band, Pure Prairie League, Robert Hazard, and Craig Bickhardt, Tom Hampton’s musicianship spans a vast array of styles, from country-rock and folk to Americana and southern rock. His masterful command of instruments such as lap steel, pedal steel, banjo, and dobro has made him a sought-after collaborator in both studio and live settings.
With the release of A Month of Somedays, Hampton’s journey comes full circle, offering fans both old and new a glimpse into the heart of an artist who has always been in tune with the pulse of the American musical landscape.
