Johanna Rose is a New Orleans-based singer, songwriter, upright bassist, and street performer making music that lives somewhere between jazz and the gutter. Her sound — smoky, sultry, sometimes chaotic — walks the line between beauty and grit. With vocals that can cut or soothe, and bass lines that feel like heartbeat and tension at once, Rose builds songs that don’t ask permission. It’s jazz with a crooked grin — rooted in tradition, but not staying there.

Jim K, singer-songwriter and founding member of the group FAT, has been honing his craft and performing for decades as a soloist and also with his own power trio. He has shared the stage with everyone from Jimmie Vaughn and the Fabulous Thunderbirds to Muddy Waters, Steppenwolf and Paul Butterfield. Jazz Violinist David Eure has performed with Jaimoe (Allman Brothers), Yusef Lateef, Ran Blake, Burt Teague, Rick Danko (The Band) and has opened for Kirk Whalum. Both Jim and Dave, independently, shared the stage with Taj Mahal. Eure powerfully bridges the classical and jazz/blues divide while transforming his violin into a deep soulful human voice. This East MA meets West MA acoustic show is NOT to be missed. Together they are lightning in a bottle.

Shantyman is a funk, soul and rock & roll band from Massachusetts

Faith Kelly and Caswyn Moon are two solo artists who travel together from the Catskills of New York to share their songs to anyone anywhere.  Caswyn starts off with his punky yet melodic Americana with old country undertones while Faith accompanies him with her Moog synthesizer. Once he's done rockin' his set Faith Kelly takes over with her spacey folk rock'n'roll with Appalachian mountain roots.

A little about the show. They usually play two separate sets. Caswyn Moon begins with Faith Kelly accompanying his music with her Moog synthesizer.  Then Caswyn steps away and Faith begins her set. They can fill up to 3+ hours with music, or consolidate to play a 45 minute set for showcases. Often playing multiple sets a day.
They create themed show flyers, reach out to local press and video vlog to promote the shows, document the DIY tour life and support the local businesses that book them.
Just a couple of wanderers. Playing music to anyone, anywhere. For no apparent reason.

The Juckets, a berkshire-based, acoustic americana-bluegrass band play for the fun of it at regional farmers markets, breweries, wineries and local festivals. Kevin James Healey, a multi instrumentalist and lead guitarist for The Juckets is also a singer songwriter.  He has played in venues large and small in Colorado before moving to the Berkshires.  His CDs Crooked Lane and No Regrets bring a soft reflective sound while his strong rhythmic style with The Juckets gets the toes-a-tappin'.  Jim Caron (fiddle), Michael Pfeiffer (bass fiddle), and Jana Pfeiffer (banjo) complete the sound.

Dave Dersham has been playing -- and at times touring -- across the country for 

roughly 25 years, but sticks around this time of year due to the abundance of asparagus.  

His new-ish CD, "Another Interregnum" was released last fall and is available of most 

streaming services.  His upcoming EP, "Farce," will drop before the end of 2025.

"If you’re feeling kind of inside out and craving folk songs from a whole different direction, 

dive into Dave Dersham’s Another Interregnum. It’s as if you’re sitting around in his living 

room on homemade furniture and he’s trying out his fully formed, way-out ideas on you. 

And guess what? The thoughts and the images flit around and land right in the place where 

you do your thinking. Dersham doesn’t sound like Andrew Bird or Richard Thompson, but 

he sure sounds like they hang out together. There is NOBODY like Dave Dersham."
