Gerard Nolden

Gerard writes and sings Americana songs with a nod to bluegrass, telling stories of ordinary people and the everyday struggles, joys and humor that shape their lives. His music reflects the simplicity of Hank Williams, the storytelling of Tom T. Hall and the lightheartedness of Roger Miller. Raised on a small farm in southern Minnesota, Gerard now lives north of the Twin Cities, where he continues to draw inspiration from rural life and the people around him. A lifelong musician, Gerard built a career as a classical piano instructor and accompanist while maintaining a deep love for American country and folk music. After performing and writing songs regularly as a young man, he has returned to songwriting with a fresh perspective and renewed purpose. Gerard recorded his first two EPs at Sun Dog Studios (formerly River Rock Studios), releasing them in 2025 and early 2026.    https://www.gerardnoldenmusic.com/

Parry Lamont

Born and raised in the quiet fields of a Minnesota farming town, Parry Lamont carries the dust of small-town life on his boots and the echoes of wide-open spaces in his voice. His journey has taken him through the heartbeats of America’s great music cities—Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans—each leaving its mark, shaping the stories he weaves into song. Steeped in the rich traditions of Texas troubadours, Lamont draws from the well of Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle—songwriters who taught him that the simplest words can cut the deepest. His music is raw yet refined, worn yet timeless, like an old guitar that still sings with every touch. A natural performer, Parry’s voice carries both grit and grace, his melodies unvarnished yet full of color. He sings the kind of songs that make you taste the prairie wind, feel the weight of the past, and long for roads you’ve never traveled. Each lyric lands like a bootstep on well-trodden earth—honest, unshaken, true. With every chord, he invites listeners into his world, a place where memories linger, emotions run deep, and stories unfold with the quiet power of a fading sunset. And as he bares his soul, his songs become mirrors, reflecting back the hopes, heartbreaks, and humanity in us all.
