Aaron Fowler
Aaron Fowler

Aaron has been performing since he was 16. Working alongside several musicians throughout his career he has built a breadth of musical experiences from house concerts to festivals and concert halls. His passion for the music and the power it can have with groups of people is part of why he keeps bringing the music to audiences across the country. Aaron brings a polished fingerstyle and rhythm guitar playing to a warm tenor voice. His songwriting tells the stories of common folks bringing uncommon stories to life. Whether one of the more than 100 songs from rural communities across this country or songs of passion and purpose, Aaron delivers a performance that will move you. As an educator, Aaron began his teaching career in 1984 after he graduated from Friends University in Wichita, KS. Aaron intended to teach a couple of years at the elementary level then move to middle school and then high school and then land a career at the college. Well, part of that became a reality. Aaron taught 2 years at the elementary level and 2 years at the middle school level. The problem is that he stayed another 7 years, teaching middle school for 11 years! Some love middle school kids and Aaron is one of them. It was in 1995 when Aaron decided to pursue songwriting and touring more intentional. Now 32 years later he still loves working in the classroom drawing music and stories out of students. Aaron's work includes work with the itty-bitty one, birth through 6-year-olds through Wolf Trap Early Learning Through the Arts. As a National Trainer, he loves getting these very young ones finding the music and rhythm inside themselves. Aaron is a Certified National Teaching Artist with Young Audiences in New York and a Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist with Wolf Trap Early Learning through the Arts in Vienna Virginia. His current home in Wichita, Kansas keeps him connected with Arts Partners Wichita working with students K-12. The work of integrating the arts into science, math and language arts is a wonderful way to inspire kids to use the creative space in their heads to think about the world they live in. In early 2020 Aaron began thinking about how to leave some of the stories he was telling students about Bella and Choco, the two classroom therapy dogs that work with Aaron in the classroom. He came up with the concept of a children's book about the two adventurous dogs that visited the classroom with him as Therapy dogs. The first book, Being YOU-Neek, was written during the 2020 Pandemic. It became the first book in the series The Adventures of Bella and Choco. This book helps children learn about character traits and a variety of academic lessons. The second book is entitled, The Boat, and is about how all us belong on this great plant we call Mother Earth. The 3rd book will come out in the spring of 2022 and is an Alphabet book highlighting local businesses in Wichita Kansas where Aaron and illustrator Peter Mader live.

Beth Cahill
Beth Cahill

Beth Cahill is a musical raconteuse with quirky tales to tell. She has found her own, true voice – it can be intimate, explosive, soothing or even forlorn. Her style rises from the broad roots of a cultural tree that spreads its leafy branches high above her Illinois Celtic-ness. It leans casually up against an Americana-esque array of blues, jazz and other traditional influences to come to gracefully rest alongside the river that flows past her Québec home. While she calls Wakefield, Quebec home she tours extensively across North America, both solo and with The Malvinas. She is currently the Secretary Treasurer of Local 1000.

Elizabeth Curry
Elizabeth Curry

Elizabeth Curry is as committed to playing the upright bass as she is to meditation, human connection, anti-colonialism and creating gourmet meals in the back of the tour van. Not only is Elizabeth tasteful and skilled in her playing, she brings a vitality and energy to her performances that leave audiences with a thrumming in their solar plexus. Elizabeth’s talent is grounded in more than a decade of touring experience, six years of work with the Regina Symphony Orchestra, a Bachelors of Music and a Masters of Interactive Media and Performance. Her dedication to this path was formed in a household that danced to Pyotr Tchaikovsky, raised fists with Buffy Sainte-Marie, and was moved by Leonard Cohen. Elizabeth’s reverence for each musician she accompanies – from Saskatchewan chanteuse Belle Plaine to Toronto’s rabble-rouser Annabelle Chvostek – is evident in the attentiveness she gives to each song and in her capacity to support each show uniquely. Elizabeth is the sidekick that every superhero wants.

In 1994-1999 I performed with The Dilettantes (folk, jazz, old country, rock, Texas swing) in Baltimore, Maryland.
I was also a member of Dame's Rocket, a Baltimore based rock and roll band (retro rock, retro country, Texas swing, surf) from 1996-2006.
In 1999 I joined the folk trio, Hot Soup (with Sue Trainor, Christina Muir) and performed with them until 2003.
I joined the Baltimore City Pipe Band in 2006-2014, playing the highland bagpipes in parades, parties, weddings, funerals and other events.
It's been a fun, interesting and wild ride. 😉

Sheena Rattai

Born in a storm on a wild Canadian lake, Red Moon Road came into its own on trails coast to coast. All credit goes to the chemistry & the magic that happens when the Winnipeg band’s two Daniels – jazz-trained Daniel Jordan & bilingual prog-rock vet Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner – strum up the strings (Mandolin Banjo & Guitar) to support twilight-voiced singer Sheena Rattai. From living rooms to folk fest stages, the personable trio has charmed fans from British Columbia to Nova Scotia with their lush & lively take on modern roots. Immaculate songwriting & gorgeous three part harmonies are highlights of RMR's live shows, peppered always with bright stage banter & masterfully told stories.

As a member of the women's trio Belles of Hoboken in the early 80s (with Janet Stecher and Marcie Boyd), Susan performed throughout the New York City area and recorded numerous songs for the "Fast Folk" musician's cooperative monthly musical "magazine." When she moved to Seattle, Susan was a founding member of the quartet Shays' Rebellion, along with fellow Local 1000 member John O’Connor (as well as Tim Hall and Janet Stecher). Their 'songs of social movements past and present' were shared with audiences across the United States and Canada.  Their album "Daniel Shays' Highway" was released on Flying Fish Records (FF427) in 1987.

Tom Kastle has been a singer and folk musician for decades, traveling the world, collecting and performing maritime songs and stories, and captaining sailing ships on the Great Lakes. These days, Tom lives in Madison and his passions are even more diverse and include a recording of original songs based mostly on traditional fiddle tunes, film projects like Francisco Torres’ Delight In the Mountain, with Richard Riehle and Tom Wopat, an opera role, and television where he hosted a short documentary that was nominated for an Emmy Award. Add in musical director and composer credits, and recent theatrical roles ranging from musicals to Shakespeare, playing a political pundit with the legendary Ed Asner in God Help Us! and a one man play based on the life of Joe Hill and you have an artist living a vivid life, indeed!

I'm an old time and folk musician from Southwest Virginia. My music is a consistent mix of regional and originals reflecting the culture and experience of living in Appalachia. I draw inspiration from well known regional artists such as The Carter Family and Dock Boggs and also from my family's experience involved with the coal mining industry. I perform as a solo artist, in a duo with Sam Gleaves, and with the Empty Bottle String Band. I also teach private lessons, as a adjunct professor at Mountain Empire Community College, and as an instructor at my local Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) program. I also work as a square dance caller.

Zachary Lucky
Zachary Lucky

Award nominated songwriter Zachary Lucky is unapologetically old-school country, armed with a husky, baritone voice - He carries himself like a younger Richard Buckner or a heartier Doug Paisley and often receives comparisons to songwriters such as Gordon Lightfoot and Kris Kristofferson. He sings of Canadian places and people as knowingly as he might Townes Van Zandt or the Rio Grande. His shows and songs are relatable on many levels, and conjure universal feelings that have passed through our collective timelines. Hailing from Saskatchewan Canada, but now based in Orillia, Ontario.
