About Charlotte Morris: 

Charlotte Morris is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, whose autobiographical music weaves together a unique blend of Americana, Folk, Jazz, and more. Her soaring vocals and keen songwriting, often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Liz Longley, Eva Cassidy, and Ira Wolf, create an intimate and vulnerable listening experience. When you see Charlotte live, it's like having a deep conversation with an old friend - personal, authentic, and familiar - and almost always with a few laughs and a few tears. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, Charlotte discovered her love for music early on, taking up multiple instruments starting at age 4, and embracing songwriting by age 12. Influenced by female artists like Brandi Carlile, Judy Collins, and Sara Bareilles, she joined the Lonesome Traveler folk tour in 2018, touring alongside Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, George Grove, and more. Since then, Charlotte has released various singles and EPs, including "To New York, with Love" and "Sputnik," [produced by Grammy winner, Mitch Dane]. Her 2020 debut album, "Songs For My Next Ex," showcased her diverse talents and raw songwriting. Relocating to Nashville in 2021, Charlotte began working with producer William Gawley, of Charlotte Avenue Entertainment, and released the poignant "Good Kind of Hurt" in 2022, addressing addiction and PTSD. This was followed by the folk-infused "Tennessee" and empowering "Your Number One." In September 2023, her second studio album, "Wild Child," made waves globally, resonating with audiences and charting internationally. With a new album already in the works, Charlotte is just getting started. Beyond music, Charlotte adventures in her converted van with her pup, and is an avid crossword puzzler.

About Chris Castle: 

Chris Castle is a diamond in a Kentucky coal mine". So says Larry Campbell, who knows a thing or two about musical diamonds. He spent eight years with Bob Dylan and has performed with everyone from Paul Simon to Willie Nelson, BB King to Levon Helm, and the Black Crowes to Sheryl Crow. Campbell also produced Castle's latest LP, Long Way to the Bottom.

The late Tommy Ramone (the Ramones) once said of Chris "he sings his unique songs of depth and beauty in a voice well-textured by life's experiences". And one of Tommy's final studio projects was on Castle's 2012 release, Last Bird Home. That record went on to the top 10 of multiple roots music radio charts, and exposed Chris Castle's music to a broader audience than ever before. Fun fact: several of the songs on that album were written or first recorded in New London, CT.

About Eli Lev: 

Rising singer-songwriter Eli Lev is making the world a smaller place, one song at a time. Eli opens lyrics and melodies for everyday enlightenment—songs that resonate because they’re heartfelt, earthy, and offer the wisdom he’s gained through lifelong travel and self-discovery. The Maryland-based artist has just completed his epic Four Directions project which includes four EPs that were inspired by indigenous traditions he learned while teaching on the Navajo Nation in Northern Arizona. His four part EP releases, All Roads East (2017) and Way out West (2018), Deep South (2019), and True North (2021) - imaginatively and intrepidly connect spheres and generations within a body of work that is irresistibly uplifting, emotionally resonant, and down-to-earth. A cross between The Avett Brothers and The Lumineers, Lev has opened for both Shooter Jennings and Lee DeWyze, performed at The Kennedy Center and 9:30 Club in Washington, DC, and toured extensively around the world.
