Molly Maher

Molly Maher resides on the border of Americana/Roots music and moves beautifully between them, blending simmering guitars and cutting lyrics. After traveling the roads of the American music tradition she has returned to sing about it with an authentic and sage voice. To see her perform live is an unforgettable experience. An incomparable singer and songwriter with compelling depth and soul backed by an all star band. With songs that ring true, her singing is a fine balance of deep and soulful, somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Bonnie Raitt. Twangy and lament-filled spirit, guitar driven country-folk-jam with a blues swagger.

Scottie Miller

Scottie Miller is an award-winning pianist, singer-songwriter, and poet known for blending music and language into vivid emotional storytelling. His groundbreaking poetry-and-album project Carnival Cocoon marked a turning point, blurring the lines between verse, song, and confession. With Hello Pain (Spring 2026), Miller expands that poetic vision onto a cinematic canvas, collaborating with orchestrator Cierra Alise Hill and the 55-piece Budapest Scoring Orchestra to create music that is both intimate and epic. Anchored by his tender, fearless piano and voice, Miller continues to evolve as a uniquely American artist—part poet, part composer—devoted to transforming vulnerability into catharsis.

Chris Koza

Chris Koza is an internationally-recognized Americana artist. Chris has toured the US extensively, sharing the stage with Gordon Lightfoot, Brandi Carlile, Ingrid Michaelson, Andrew Bird, Stephen Kellogg, and many others. His music appears regularly on ABC’s General Hospital, 60 Minutes, and Good Morning America, and his song Be Wild was featured in a State of Minnesota tourism campaign. In 2021, Chris recorded a version of Willie Nelson's classic On The Road Again, for a Winnebago campaign benefitting National Parks. His song (Rogue Valley) The Wolves and the Ravens was featured in Ben Stiller’s film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Chris also created the soundtrack for the 2014 film Beyond The Divide, a Missoula Montana-based documentary centered around conversations between peace activists and war veterans who are seeking Peace.  Chris embraces classic Americana with a contemporary feel and utilizes a wide range of textures in creating music rooted in folk and pop, with an emphasis on storytelling. Subtle synthesizers, rich harmonies and pop-music sensibilities interweave with acoustic and electric guitars, earthy pianos, and familiar rhythms. For every song that sounds like it could be strummed from a boxcar clacking slowly across a grassy midwestern plain, there's a tune sailing from a city rooftop, echoing across a valley of streets and traffic, or a melody twisting and shimmering like a dim frequency deep into the starry night.  Solo, with Rogue Valley, and his moniker Nobody Kid, Chris has self-produced, written, and released sixteen albums and EP's. In 2023, Rogue Valley released their 6th album Shell Game. Currently, Chris is rediscovering old sessions and reimagining forgotten material for a collection called Graveyard Shift, which revives songs spanning the last twenty years.
