“...Shulman has done enough to confidently propel herself to the next level as a singer-songwriter, displaying an acute and highly individual lyrical narrative.” - Graeme Tait, Americana UK

“She can be compared to colleagues such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin.” - John Gjaltema, Alt Country NL

Carolyn Shulman is a Denver-based folk & Americana singer-songwriter whose sound is a nod to the women of Americana who came before her, such as Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Patty Griffin. She builds powerful emotional landscapes, layering poignant lyrics atop skillful guitar work. Her debut album Grenadine & Kerosene (2021) and her latest release Heart on a Wire (2024) both enjoyed critical acclaim and landed on the FAI Folk Radio Charts. Carolyn was a 2022 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriters Showcase finalist. She loves performing and quickly charms audiences with her sincerity, humor, and warmth.

Colin Cutler is a Greensboro, North Carolina-based singer-songwriter, folk musician, poet, and storyteller toting a banjo and guitar.  Whether solo or with his band, Hot Pepper Jam, he is a wide-ranging performer whose musical roots draw from the breadth of American folk music—from Appalachian oldtime to blues to gospel to country to rock’n’roll—to form what No Depression has described as “one magnificent tapestry of roots music.”.

While his first few albums were directly inspired by his background in oldtime music, his most recent effort was even more ambitious and electric.  Tarwater was inspired by both life and the earthy characters of Georgia author Flannery O'Connor, achieving "...a juke joint energy coursing through it and a humidity that seems to sweat out the sins and the booze that these characters are often soaked in” (Paste).

The 2022 Winner of the Susquehanna Folk Festival’s Emerging Artists Competition, the last couple years have seen Cutler playing across the Southeast, with appearances at Merlefest, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, the North Carolina Folk Festival, Antlers and Acorns Songwriters Festival, and the Carolina Bible Camp Bluegrass Festival.
