Dan has won over audiences with his melodic storytelling, poignant lyrics, rich vocals and intricate arrangements. He has appeared on NPR, WFUV, and WDST Radio Woodstock.

Kate Prascher
Kate Prascher doesn’t want you to look at her. She wants you to see what she sees. She wants to know if you see it too. Her songs say the things that don’t make it into polite conversation. They touch our everyday darkness, wade through undercurrents of memory and sketch half-portraits of characters both real and imagined. Originally from Tennessee, now at home in the Hudson Valley, Prascher is a songwriter with a haunting sound and clear vision. 

Laura Leigh
Hailing from the rolling hills of Washington County in Upstate NY, Laura Leigh gained her following by singing folks to tears around every late night campfire in the capital region. Quickly becoming what Greg Bell claimed “The new darling of the Albany music scene”, LL is known for her driving rock/Americana songwriting, raw and emotional Appalachian vocals, witty stage presence, and her evocative stories that may or may not be true. Laura released her first solo album with producer Jonathan Stewart, “Livin’ In Cambridge” in 2021. This album paints pictures of the small town she grew up in with both light and dark tones, and explores the feelings of reinventing yourself in the place of your roots. The record is available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, and Bandcamp. She is now working on a project called Rock City Junction with Denise Parent (The Deadbeats, Brown Eyed Women) and David Chapman (Cold Flavor Repair, Rivergrass).
