Kelley Hunt
Memphis-raised singer-songwriter Kelly Hunt paints stories as old and offbeat as her Depression-era tenor banjo and parlor guitar, reimagining traditions of folk & old-time music in a style that hovers beyond the constraints of genre à la Anaïs Mitchell & Gillian Welch. Hunt’s debut album, Even The Sparrow, was released in May 2019 and named as a finalist for the International Folk Music Awards “Album of the Year.” Her sophomore album, Ozark Symphony, was recorded with Grammy-winning musician & producer Dirk Powell and released on Compass Records in October 2023.
“Kelly Hunt sings with the lilting cadence of a folksinger born somewhere far away, sometime long ago.” — ROBERT CRAWFORD [ROLLING STONE COUNTRY]
“Standing shoulder to shoulder with contemporaries like Gillian Welch and Rhiannon Giddens...folk music harking back to the stripped-down sounds of Leadbelly, Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie.” — JOHN VAITES [AMERICANA UK]
Sara Morgan
In a style reminiscent of Dolly Parton, Kathy Mattea, and Nanci Griffith, singer/songwriter Sara Morgan writes and performs poignant, thoughtful, and hilarious tunes which cast back to the timeless country tradition of the second half of the 20th century. Her themes of love, loss, courage, introspection, and irony are a drastic contrast to the current pop-influenced / cross-genre / multi-writer Country Music found on the market today.
“The one to watch” - JOSPEH HUDAK [Rolling Stone]
“Sara Morgan [...] brings a freshness to country music that hasn’t been there since the debut of Reba, Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood.” - ROBERT LEGGETT [LA Music Critic]
