TAYLOR RAE is an insightful lyricist whose music can best be described as a sizzling folk, jazz, and blues hybrid inspired by the likes of Norah Jones. Born in Santa Cruz but relocating to Texas, she’s fine tuned a style she’s coined ‘soul and roll’ in her newest album MAD TWENTIES.

THE MASTERSONS are singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalists Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore. Road partners for Steve Earle, together they produce emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs that can be seen in their fourth set of original compositions No Time for Love Songs.

SCOTT COOK is a true troubadour and modern vagabond. Hailing originally from Alberta Canada, he's been on the road for the last twelve years. Turning his travels into lyrical arrangements, he's a folk storyteller with lots of tales to sing. His most recent album TANGLE OF SOULS is complemented with a hardcover book outlining his adventures from the years. 

PO’ RAMBLIN’ BOYS have a passion for bluegrass music. Founder CJ Lewandowski was working at Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery in Sevierville, TN when he was asked to start a band to perform and PO’ RAMLIN’ BOYS was formed.

TIM EASTON makes his long awaited return to WoodSongs. He is a pioneer of the Americana genre. Born in Upstate New York, he spent a lot of his time traveling and storytelling across America. His most recent album YOU DON”T REALLY KNOW ME is a peaceful, positive album influenced by the artsts who came before him as well as his own experiences of being in the industry for 20 years.

He is certainly one of the most influential guitar masters of the 20th century.
