Nate Goyette

Nate Goyette

Nate Goyette's wistful, folk-tinged indie-rock turns even the most banal experiences into poignant vignettes of modern American life. Through his earnest yet restrained delivery, Nate's wry storytelling dissects these common occurrences without ever devolving into complete ironic detachment. Instead, he invites listeners into his world- the creeping dread of high school reunions, the nauseous optimism of a night out, the shifting emotions attached to family photos and home movies- and encourages them to find the bigger truths in even the littlest things.

Nate has performed around the northeast and has shared the stage with a diverse range of artists including Peter Lehndorff, Belle-Skinner, Ian Galipeau, and Perch Hapland. He is one of two multi-instrumentalists in Dylan Patrick Ward's backing band and plays drums in Emma's Secrets.

Lynne Hanson

Lynne Hanson

Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson's brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada's Queen of Americana.” And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it's the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming. The two-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner has released ten studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 20 year solo career. She's the winner of the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, and a two time Kerrville New Folk finalist. She's toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK. She has also toured as support for Grammy-nominated artists like Gretchen Peters, Steve Forbert and Albert Lee. Her latest album "Just A Poet" was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Album of the Year.

 

Tattercoats

Tattercoats

Tattercoats is the wife-and-husband folk duo of Ned Joyner and Charlotte Wager-Miller. Described as sounding “like a warm, comforting bowl of soup,” they draw from their southern Indiana roots to forge a style that is both earthy and refined—rooted in tradition and distinguished by “breathtaking tight vocal harmonies”

Their wide repertoire spans centuries and continents: from Old World ballads and Appalachian traditionals to country standards, folk revival classics, and familiar favorites of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.

Music has always been central to their story. It first brought them together as a couple, and later became their anchor when they moved to New York City in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In those strange and unsettled times, they turned instinctively to folk music. The songs of resilience, heartbreak, resistance and celebration in the folk canon became a vital source of comfort, connection and joy.

This experience instilled a deep appreciation for vernacular music’s ability to gather people around the hearth of our shared humanity—a lasting impression that guides their approach today. In an increasingly isolated, divided and virtual world, Tattercoats offer folk music as a grounding force to rekindle connection and belonging.

Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy is regarded by fellow musicians and fans alike as one of New England’s finest songwriters. He writes and sings of a heartfelt, sometimes funny, sometimes desperate, sometimes glorious world of common people, struggles, hope, relationships, madness, and love. He sings the poetry of real life with a silky baritone voice and just enough grit.

“A distinctive songwriter with a warm, powerful, inherently melodic baritone, a fine guitarist and a devastating wit ... enormous writing gifts, capable of putting chills into your spine or a silly grin on your face..." - Jeff McLaughlin, The Boston Globe

I've been remiss in not mentioning that my friend folksinger Cormac McCarthy's album "Collateral" was my favorite album of 2013. Man does he ever hand the bullshit back to its rightful owners. Barry Crimmins--Political Satirist and comedian

“A leading light of the urban songwriter revival…”Curious Thing” is a soft-spoken triumph.” - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe

“…a new McCarthy recording is a major listening event, one to spend considerable time savoring…” - Arthur Wood, Folk Wax

“Cormac McCarthy is the closest thing New England’s ever come to having our own Woody Guthrie” - Martin England, Portsmouth Herald, NH

"Top ten Concerts ...- Bob Dylan, Ani DeFranco, Cormac McCarthy...Next time he comes within 100 miles, you must go hear him!" -The Boston Phoenix

 

The Paper Prince

The Paper Prince

Sean Robert Jones/The Paper Prince is a folk singer-songwriter based out of upstate New York. Shaped by a barren, working class environment with brutal winters, his music stretches the bounds of genre, pushing folk to the point of fracture and reflecting the heartbreaking wistfulness of his surroundings. He utilizes experimental harmonic structures, as well as complex instrumental arrangements, which aid in the delivery of parable-driven lyrical imagery. Sean draws not only from the realm of classical music, but also from the compositional prowess of songwriters including: Leonard Cohen, Glen Hansard, Jason Molina, and Jeff Buckley.
