Born in Richmond, VA, Greg Greenway moved to Boston and became a standout voice in its folk music scene. Influenced by Richie Havens and Eric Andersen, he developed a genre-defying, multi-instrumental style blending folk, gospel, rock, blues, jazz, and world music. He has performed at Carnegie Hall and appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered and Mountain Stage, though he cites hearing his song “Driving in Massachusetts” on Car Talk as a personal highlight.
Greenway’s eight-year collaboration with Pat Wictor and Joe Jencks as Brother Sun produced two #1 Folk DJ albums and reached wide audiences. His current project with Reggie Harris, Deeper Than The Skin, explores race and shared history in America. Widely praised, critics hail him as a powerful, genre-crossing artist with exceptional stage presence.The music of genre-blending singer-songwriter Jenna Nicholls evokes the golden age of the American Songbook, infused with the spirit of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, and vintage Americana. A multi-instrumentalist with four acclaimed albums to her name, Jenna crafts songs that feel both timeless and fresh, blending rich storytelling, cinematic imagery, and an unmistakable voice.
Her latest release, The Commuter, produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, further showcases her gift for reimagining American roots music for modern audiences. A winner of multiple songwriting competitions, Jenna has toured with Ingrid Michaelson, Glen Hansard, Lucius, and Joan as Policewoman, performing at iconic venues including Carnegie Hall and the Beacon Theatre. With every note, Jenna Nicholls invites listeners into a world where old souls speak, hearts break, and stories live on in song.

<table><tbody><tr><td>Ellis Paul doesn’t just write songs; he’s a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. And much like the artists who have influenced him, everyone from Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greatest inspiration, Woody Guthrie, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless.</td></tr><tr><td>Born and raised in Maine, Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city’s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrissey, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a seven album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album, Stories. His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me, Myself, and Irene; Shallow Hal, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland, Kristian Bush, Jack Ingram).</td></tr><tr><td>Through a steady succession of albums of his own – a remarkable 23 releases so far – and a constant touring presence around the world, Paul’s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way, he has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, 15 Boston Music Awards, An Honorary Doctorate from the University of Maine, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recently his album, The Storyteller’s Suitcase, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.</td></tr></tbody></table>
