I hung out with Lightnin' Hopkins in his home in Houston, traveled down south with 9-String Big Joe Williams, was the "best lead boy I ever had" according to Sleepy John Estes, and spent time with Rev.Gary Davis in his home in Jamaica, Queens, NY. Otis Rush taught my first electric blues riffs, and I had the great good fortune to be in Chicago when I first started playing guitar, so I met and knew most of the great Chicago Bluesmen. Like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Junior Wells, Otis, and Robert Nighthawk. I learned a great deal from these folks and countless other lesser-known, and unknown musicians, and it was more than their music. I learned a way of life that has been my path ever since.Through my performances, lectures, and these days through my radio shows, I am trying to give back some of the rich experiences that I've been truly blessed to have had. So lets take a trip down some ghost highways and follow the threads of the most powerful cultural force in the world today: American Roots Music.!"

Explaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined.The live performance is at the core of Marty’s projects. On stage, whether accompanied by a band, or alone, he enters a trance and the music is born again as something new every night. It’s what his followers call “magic”. He goes from raw gospel blues to cinematic epics, from heavy driving grooves to delicately arranged folk songs. Marty leaves the stage out of breath and sweaty, his audience in awe. It's hard to describe, impossible to categorize. Yet people who know the music will try to explain it to you, just as you might struggle to explain a dream in the morning. The details might slip away as you recount them, but the feeling remains. “I started playing music as medicine for myself to feel good and digest some melancholy,” Marty leaves off. “Over time, I realized if music makes me feel good, the people around me who become a part of it will feel good too. It connects us on the same wavelength. I hope to give the world something real and refreshing.

Little Worth was born of a chance introduction between two songwriters - Tanner Walle and Austin Ferreira. As Austin grabbed a guitar off the wall during a doggy playdate in El Verano, the two realized just how remarkably similar their tastes and skills aligned. Then came a pandemic, and the two used the unfortunate quarantine to hunker down together in Tanner's garage, where they would write well over two dozen songs over the course of several months, with a weekly Tuesday night session and lots of pacing with a notepad. Soon Austin and Tanner would cultivate a team of brilliant Northern Californian musicians including bassist Brad Maestas, drummer Ben Tinsley, pianist Jesse Adams and pedal steelist Josh Yenne. "They may not be diary entries per se, but these songs are wholeheartedly inspired by the experiences and love of growing up in California," Ferreira says. Their finished collection of songs and debut album "First Annual" was recorded at famed Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, and produced by five-time Grammy winner Hector Castillo (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Philip Glass, Beck). "These songs stick like honey on sandpaper," says Castillo Supreme magical guidance was supplied by co-producer Brian Cullman, who's late-night stories as a lifelong songwriter and rock journalist in the West Village have helped guide Walle and Ferreira throughout the process. 'First Annual' will be the first release on Ferreira and Walle's new Sonoma-based label LITTLE WORTH RECORDS.

Clementine Darling is an Americana Folk Singer-Songwriter with her heels dug deep in San Francisco Bay Area’s music scene. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Darling busked her way down the West Coast in 2010, on a road trip that led her to put down roots in Sonoma County, California. The two locals influenced her debut 11:11 EP and subsequent Live At The Lost Church— a collection of introspective songs and soulful ballads, with undertones of Seattle 90’s grunge. In May 2023, Darling released her third independent album Bootstraps EP, a collection of songs that spin a tail of overcoming, hope, and chasing dreams on horseback. Darling has found her confident, soulful voice playing music all around the Bay Area, and at festivals including The Emerald Cup, sharing the bill with Margo Price and Rising Appalachia, SXSW, Railroad Square Music Festival and Balanced BreakFEST.

As a story teller Adam Traum wraps his catchy hooks with infectious grooves. His songs have a consistent verve, which reflects his belief in music as an essential element of the human experience. The material Adam writes evokes images of an Americana landscape spinning tales of love, heartbreak, beauty and the occasional observational diatribe. When he performs live Adam brings his sunny disposition and genuine love of playing music to the stage. His tasteful instrumental chops and relaxed but powerful voice are a great compliment to his well-crafted songs.  The rootstock of Traum's music germinated in the fertile ground of the Catskill Mountains. He was raised in a musical family in Woodstock, New York, with a front row seat to music history. His passion for music was enhanced by going to many festivals and shows in his formative years. As an aspiring guitarist Traum was always welcome to pick along at jam sessions with family friends, many of whom happened to be musical luminaries.  Traum regularly raided his father's record collection listening to the masters of electric blues, country and folk in addition to regular doses of rock albums he got at the local record store. He would spend hours playing along and figuring out his favorite riffs. Thanks to the time spent exploring these musical avenues, he became a well-rounded musician able to nimbly shift between genres. After tenures in several rock bands as a young musician, Traum found the truth, beauty and honesty in the roots music he was raised around. One year at MerleFest in North Carolina, he had a musical epiphany after seeing Tony Rice play guitar. No gimmicks, no effects: just wood and steel! It was music made by people, for people. The authenticity of that performance is the benchmark he continually strives for whether playing acoustic or electric music. In addition to being a busy performer, Adam is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and active music educator with several popular videos on Homespun Music Instruction. his band Wolf Run is completing their debut album, and has a more electrified sound while still holding fast to his musical sensibilities.
