A free spirit and musical devotion have made Mary Fagan a true
original with wide ranging influences. Backing herself solidly on
guitar or piano, she floats seamlessly from jazz to folk, blues and
rock. Influences range from Duke Ellington to The Grateful Dead, you
can't fit her into just one musical category. But no matter what she
plays, you will be captivated. Her voice delivers like it was forged
in the blues then dipped in velvet.
The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan have been big influences, as well as
jazz artists such as Billie Holiday and Fats Waller. Texas has left
it's mark with classic country & western swing from the likes of Ray
Price & Bob Wills. Whether with a group or accompanying herself on
guitar or piano, her vocals are striking. She is both gritty and
pure, her winsome style could give a grey sky the blues.
For over half a century SKIP GORMAN has enjoyed singing, playing and
performing an impressive and varied palette of traditional American
and Celtic folk music. As an accomplished singer, guitarist, fiddler
and mandolinist, Gorman has completed over 19 recordings of fiddle,
mandolin, bluegrass and cowboy songs, been featured on 30 others,
and established his own record label, Old West Recordings.
His recordings have earned a prestigious NAIRD (INDIE) award, and
been selected as a top ten folk pick of the year by Amazon.com.
Filmmaker Ken Burns has used Skip's original music on five of his
celebrated documentaries and soundtracks. He has appeared on
Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, toured with the US
Embassy in Chile, Argentina and Paraguay, performed at World Fiddle
Day in Co. Kerry, Ireland, done two tours of Australia and taught at
numerous music camps in America and the British Isles.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx writes, "The lonesome
ache that is in the core of Skip Gorman's voice and fiddling fits
close to the bones of the slope country, the rough breaks, the
bunchgrass high plains. These traditional cowboy songs, unadorned,
openly sad, sometimes lively or gritty, carry the distance and
solitude of the West in them."
Guitarist Mark Burds lives in VT and makes Froggy Bottom guitars.
Tyler Nail, a gifted singer-songwriter blending Americana and
Appalachian folk with raw, heartfelt storytelling. His music echoes
the depth of Gillian Welch and Jason Isbell, captivating audiences
with soulful vocals and intricate guitar work.
He released his most recent EP, Family, last month. The first
single, 9 Pound Hammer, has over 2000 streams in just 3 weeks. The
second single, Way To Live, was released last week and is already
pushing 1000 streams.
