SUMMARY:Mary Gauthier
DESCRIPTION:Mary Gauthier is a Grammy-nominated American folk singer-songwriter and author\, known for songs that blend emotional resonance\, depth of character\, and lyrical insight. \nHer storytelling—raw\, honest\, and unwavering—has established her as one of America’s most compelling voices\, offering beauty in sorrow\, healing in loss\, and perspectives only an artist of profound empathy can provide. \nGauthier’s songs have been recorded by artists including Tim McGraw\, Blake Shelton\, Kathy Mattea\, Boy George\, Jimmy Buffett\, Vince Gill\, Bettye LaVette\, and many more. \nShe has received honors from the Americana Music Association\, International Folk Music Awards\, the Independent Music Awards\, the GLAMA Awards\, and the UK Americana Association. Her work has appeared extensively in film and television\, including Yellowstone and ABC’s Nashville\, and her memoir\, “Saved by a Song\,” was published by St. Martin’s Press. \n“I Drink” \n\n“Drag Queens and Limousines” \n\n“Mercy Now” \n\n“With songwriting as powerful as hers\, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers. She’s a unique\, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.” — Randy Lewis\, Los Angeles Times \n“The Louisiana native outdoes even her own impressive forays into the dark on her excruciatingly exquisite seventh album. Every tune is a rough gem of melody\, misery and economy\, as Gauthier excavates romantic wreckage like an archaeologist telling the story of a fossilized love…it puts you right in the middle of the action we’ve all experienced but haven’t been able to articulate as expertly as Gauthier.” — Rolling Stone Magazine \nhttps://www.marygauthier.com

SUMMARY:David Roth
DESCRIPTION:“While I had heard many artists rave about David Roth for years and I owned several of his CD’s in my personal collection\, I had never had the pleasure of hearing and seeing him in person. But as high as my expectations were\, he surpassed them in every way. David is a consummate performer\, singer\, songwriter\, and musician. In addition\, he is professional in every respect\, always doing more than required. On the top of that he is a delightful human being. I thank him for his superlative performances and give any one who may ask my highest recommendation.” \n-Ron Sowell\, Artistic Director ~ Woody Hawley Concert Series\, Charleston\, WV\nMusical Director – Mountain Stage Radio Show \nDavid Roth first played (and many times since) at the Fiddle during the 1990’s\, and we’re glad to welcome back the Chicago-born singer/songwriter now living on Cape Cod. \nRoth has taken his songs\, experience\, and expertise to a wide variety of venues in this and other countries full-time for more than three decades and his work has found its way to Carnegie Hall\, the United Nations\, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books\, the Kennedy Center\, Peter\, Paul\, & Mary and Kingston Trio recordings\, NASA’s Goddard Space Center (his song “Rocket Science” sailed on the space shuttle Atlantis in 2009)\, the Rise Up Singing and Rise Again (sequel) songbooks\, the Kerrville (TX) New Folk Award\, and 15 CDs on the Wind River and Stockfisch (Germany) labels. \nThe former artist-in-residence at New York’s Omega Institute has been on many of Christine Lavin’s seminal Rounder Records compilations and has also taught singing\, songwriting\, and performance at many music camps around the country. David serves as Executive Director for SummerSongs\, an annual songwriting camp which just concluded it’s 28th annual gathering in upstate New York and is also creator of the Cape Cod Songwriters Retreat and the Cape’s Full Moon Open Mic\, which since 2005 has provided a forum for musicians and creatives to connect and be heard while at the same time collecting donations (nearing $20\,000 to date) for local non-profits to help neighbors in need. \nDavid has also been writing for the Songs of Love Foundation ~ https://songsoflove.org/ ~ since 1998\, another non-profit that provides free custom-made songs for families around the world with sick kids. David also leads annual music tours to Ireland and Scotland. \nHome of the Brave\, written by David Roth: \n\nToday I Get to go and Cast a Vote: \n\nwww.davidrothmusic.com

SUMMARY:Bruce Molsky
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed fiddler and singer Bruce Molsky is also a serious threat on banjo and guitar. He’s “one of America’s premier fiddling talents” (Mother Jones) and a Grammy nominated artist. \nBruce’s collaborations with musicians from just about everywhere have allowed his own voice to grow in unexpected directions. His most recent recording “Bruce’s Halling” with Swedish maestro Ale Möller brings together traditions in a new and fresh way\, and “Lockdown Breakdown” with longtime friend and colleague Darol Anger explores new fiddle territory\, from old-time to Scandinavian to Old School R&B. \nNo Depression calls his solo album\, “If It Ain’t Here When I Get Back“ an album from an absolute master.” Bruce’s guitar album\, “Everywhere You Go” was called “a beautiful document” by Acoustic Guitar magazine. In concert\, he’s engaging\, conversational and personal as he brings listeners into his own unique musical space with tunes\, songs and stories from decades of music experiences. \nBruce keeps his creative fires lit through collaborations and teaching\, as the go-to guy for the next generations of roots players at Berklee College of Music\, where he is the Visiting Scholar in their American Roots Music Program. \nSarah Jarosz: Bruce has long been one of my musical heroes\, simply one of the greatest musicians there is\, period. \nMark Knopfler: Bruce is one of those great players who ‘gets it. \nJulian Lage: Bruce’s guitar music is truly out of this world great. \nChris Eldridge: Bruce is a guiding light of musical integrity and fearlessness. \nLinda Ronstadt: There’s an incredible power of history and tradition in his vocals. \nLive in NYC: \n\nPiney Mountains: \n\n  \nhttp://www.brucemolsky.com

SUMMARY:Rachel Sumner and Traveling Light
DESCRIPTION:“Rachel Sumner and her mighty trio are punching above their weight with trenchant lyrics and plenty of melodic power. Everyone should get to hear this band.” – Darol Anger \n“Strong songwriting and a pure voice\, Rachel Sumner brings joy and energy to the stage” – Livingston Taylor \n“A bullish band packed with skills….ready to go” – Americana Highways \nFresh off their 2025 Telluride Bluegrass Band Contest win\, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light are a Boston-based string band making music that blends folk tradition with feminist storytelling\, poetic detail\, and a little grit. At the center is Sumner’s songwriting—rooted in history\, myth\, and personal reckoning—carried by close harmonies\, upright bass\, acoustic guitar\, and fiddle. The trio features Kat Wallace on fiddle and vocals and Mike Siegel on upright bass and vocals\, whose playing brings both tension and tenderness to the sound. \nTheir sound is spare and intimate\, sometimes eerie\, sometimes sweet\, always intentional. They call it Femericana—sharp-edged Americana with a splash of feminine rage. \nSumner has performed at the Library of Congress\, where five of her original songs are now archived\, and was a 2024 winner of the Kerrville New Folk competition. Her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison)” struck a nerve—streamed over 300\,000 times and picked up by dancers\, theater directors\, and deep listeners who saw themselves in its story. It’s been tattooed on arms\, sung in audition rooms\, and carried into classrooms and protests. \nRachel Sumner & Traveling Light has toured coast to coast\, bringing their spellbinding live show to listening rooms\, libraries\, farms\, and festivals across the country. They’ve appeared at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival\, Earl Scruggs Festival\, IBMA\, and legendary folk listening rooms like Caffé Lena and Club Passim\, where their shows have become a staple of the Boston folk scene. \nMadam\, He’s a Madman:  \n\nRadium Girls:  \n\nYodelay:  \n\n  \nhttp://www.rachelsumnermusic.com

SUMMARY:Larry & Joe
DESCRIPTION:“….one of the most charismatic and culture-crossing acts to come out of roots music in the past decade.” “magnificent. The live show… is mesmerizing.” – WMOT / The String \nTheir virtuosity is jaw dropping live…they both take great\, transcendent joy in making this music together\, and that kind of joy is contagious. – Folk Alley \nThe hour with Larry & Joe was sort of like being in the eye of a hurricane. Beauty and order in the heart of chaos. There was considerable buzz about these guys\, but I don’t think anyone anticipated their true impact\, and the huge gathering […] had an explosive response. – The Austin Chronicle \nWhen I saw Larry & Joe […] it seemed like they’d known each other theirwhole lives. That easy familiarity has also served the music well. Nuevo South Train is a magnificent blending of the duos multi-cultural experiences and I guarantee you’ve never heard anything like it. And if they play anywhere near you\, get there. – Twangville \n…the unexpectedness of this musical match is part of the delight…[Nuevo South Train]\, in all its collaborative glory\, is a reminder that roots music is about maintaining and sharing traditions\, regardless of where the diasporas take them. – No Depression \nLarry & Joe were destined to make music together. \nLarry Bellorín hails from Monagas\, Venezuela and is a legend of Llanera music. Joe Troop is from North Carolina and is a GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass and oldtime musician. Larry was forced into exile and is an asylum seeker in North Carolina. Joe\, after a decade in South America\, got stranded back in his stomping grounds in the pandemic. Larry worked construction to make ends meet. Joe’s acclaimed “latingrass” band Che Apalache was forced into hiatus\, and he shifted into action working with asylum seeking migrants. Then Larry met Joe. \nCurrently based in the Triangle of North Carolina\, both men are versatile multi-instrumentalists and singer-songwriters on a mission to show that music has no borders. As a duo they perform a fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp\, banjo\, cuatro\, fiddle\, maracas\, guitar\, upright bass\, and whatever else they decide to throw in the van. The program they offer features a distinct blend of their musical inheritances and traditions as well as storytelling about the ways that music and social movements coalesce. \n\n\n\n  \nhttp://www.larryandjoe.com

SUMMARY:Futuretime String Band and Super Secret Cult Band: Twin Bill
DESCRIPTION:Co-produced with Robin Theatre. BYOB from Sleepwalker\, next door to The Robin\, is allowed at this show! \nA seasonal co-bill with two otherworldly folk acts! Futuretime String Band (from the future and Grand Rapids) and Super Secret Cult Band (mysterious doo-wop sect from Lansing) promise a fun and weird time – and really good music! \nFuturetime String Band\nFuturetime String Band approaches styles like Bluegrass\, Oldtime\, and Irish music with a lens from the future. They aim to create a new sound that comes from beyond our time and space\, while also following through on their mission to continue to uplift traditional folk music into the future. This paradoxical experience is the stage act: Futuretime String Band. Their music features Keala Venema (fiddle\, guitar\, vocals) and Lino Venema (guitar\, flute\, vocals\, and occasionally traditional Japanese instrument Shamisen)\, the duo is award winning in an Irish music competition\, the Midwest Fleadh\, winning 1st place duo and going to compete in the international All-Ireland Fleadh held in Ireland as well in August 2025.  \n\n\n  \nSuper Secret Cult Band\nSuper Secret Cult Band is a Lovecraftian doo-wop and goth-folk trio from Lansing\, MI. Their highly original performances feature three-part vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar\, and are performed around a single microphone. (Think\, ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’\, but haunted.) The group shares nostalgically poppy songs about the apocalypse\, conspiracy theories and the occult\, whilst clad in black robes (and other costumes that change during the set). Their show is formatted as a musical initiation ritual for new cult members\, and promises to be energetic and charmingly strange\, with a big\, conspiratorial wink to the audience. \nListen: supersecretcultband.bandcamp.com/album/the-cult-cabin-tapes \n  \n\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/supersecretcultband/ \nInstagram: www.instagram.com/supersecretcultband/

SUMMARY:Sally Rogers & Claudia Schmidt
DESCRIPTION:Sally Rogers began her career as a full-time touring musician in 1979\, after encouragement from Stan Rogers\, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter. That was followed by an invitation from Garrison Keillor to appear on A Prairie Home Companion. She appeared more than a dozen times on that show\, in the wake of 14 recordings. Her travels have taken her to Europe\, China\, Hungary and Poland\, and across the United States. \nMuch of Rogers’ time is spent teaching music in the public schools as an artist-in-residence. Her gorgeous singing voice\, boundless energy and good humor are welcomed from coast to coast. \nhttp://www.sallyrogers.com \nClaudia Schmidt has been perfecting her craft of performing for more than five decades. It is a quirky and wonderful hodge-podge (her word!) of music\, poetry\, story\, laughter\, drama\, and celebration of every moment\, be it hilarious or poignant. \nShe uses her multi-octave voice\, shimmering 12 string guitar and very uniquely played mountain dulcimer to deliver a stunning performance that is never the same but always thrilling. Work in clubs\, theaters\, festivals\, TV and radio has added depth and dimension to her stagecraft\, and since she has always included mostly original work along with very personal versions of the work of others\, what you get is a unique look at the world from someone who says what she sees with clarity\, humor\, and wonder. \nThe San Francisco Bay Guardian said: “Schmidt’s shows are a lot like falling in love. You never know what’s going to happen next\, chances are it’s going to be wonderful\, every moment is burned into your memory and you know you’ll never be the same again.” More succinctly\, Garrison Keillor said\, “When Claudia sings a song\, it stays sung.” \nhttp://www.claudiaschmidt.com \nSally and Claudia at the Fox Valley Folk Festival:

SUMMARY:Janis Ian presents "Breaking Silence" film and Q & A
DESCRIPTION:During the 1960s\, as a teenager\, acclaimed American singer-songwriter Janis Ian used to jam with Jimi Hendrix in Greenwich Village bars and partied with Janis Joplin\, who jokingly called herself “the other Janis.”\nJanis Ian had one of the most remarkable debuts in modern music history. At the age of 13\, she began performing her original songs at New York City gigs alongside future legends. From there\, the precocious teenager turned fearless singer-songwriter built a career with many chapters—winning Grammys while navigating personal and professional highs and lows—in a remarkable trajectory now entering its fifth decade. Ian’s emotionally transporting songbook and turbulent life story make compelling echoes for the generation of American women who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s\, discovering and voicing their power. Featuring interviews with Joan Baez\, Arlo Guthrie\, Laurie Metcalf\, Lily Tomlin\, Jean Smart\, and more. \nPalm Springs International Film Festival – Best of the Fest Top Films\nDocNYC – Official Selection \nPRAISE FOR JANIS IAN: BREAKING SILENCE \n…this film will no doubt help reacquaint audiences with her exemplary life and music. -ArtsFuse \nVarda Bar-Kar offers a conventional but still compelling synopsis of the iconoclastic singer-songwriter’s long career. –Washington Post \n…you’ll be tempted to start listening to her music while understanding its significance within the context of Janis Ian’s career. –NYC Movie Guru \nThe music is amazing\, and Ian’s story\, while unheralded\, is fantastic. –SS Ben Hecht \nReally an extraordinary film. –FilmWeek \n‘R’ 114min \n\n  \nhttps://www.janisiandocumentary.com/ \nLearn more about Women in the Arts Festival.
