Chio Saetern
Chio Saetern is an American-Mien poet and community organizer whose work explores grief, healing, identity, and motherhood. She is the co-founder of Sac Poets, a community-rooted collective offering writing workshops and spoken word benefits. Sac Poets exists to give creatives a space to connect, learn from one another, and grow through storytelling/

EllaHarp
EllaHarp is an SF based singer songwriter on harp and banjo playing unique, self-designed/made instruments that fit in the overhead bin of an airplane. Dynamic live performances entertain with humor and a knack for creative storytelling, while showcasing both instruments in signature style - blending folk + Americana with pop sensibilities, highlighting dark, thoughtful lyrics and memorable hooks.

Preacher Boy
Known for his rough-edged voice, vividly poetic storytelling lyrics, and masterful fingerpicking and slide guitar work, Preacher Boy conjures up a sound that has earned him comparisons to everyone from Howlin' Wolf and Bob Dylan to Tom Waits and Dr. John.

Ghost Notes, the new album from Preacher Boy, is a milestone release from a relentlessly pioneering artist who continues to both honor and extend the Americana and country blues traditions that inspire him.

After a break to focus on writing poetry (courtesy of a grant to live and write in Jack Kerouac's former house), Preacher Boy returned to music with a vengeance, releasing three new albums of original material in as many years. Sputnik Music wrote that his new songs "abound with musical tales of desperation and loneliness that would do a Springsteen or a Neil Young proud. The man knows how to write a song and deliver it with gut-punch impact."

Now, with Ghost Notes, Preacher Boy has delivered a musical summary statement, bringing decades of experience and maturity to bear upon an album of 18 original songs that should rightly be considered his masterpiece
