Called "the most candid diarist among singer-songwriters" by the New York Times, Loudon Wainwright III is a highly awarded folk music legend. His 2010 album, High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project, was named among the year's best folk albums by critics at Village Voice, No Depression, FolkWax and fRoots. It went on to win the 2010 Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album. He has previously been nominated for Grammy awards for I'm Alright and More Love Songs. He has also become an accomplished actor, appearing in Knocked Up, For Your Consideration, The Aviator, Parks and Recreation (w/ Amy Poehler) and a recurring role on M*A*S*H and a role as the original musician/sidekick on The David Letterman Show.

In an era when female singer-songwriters are ever more ubiquitous, Shawn Colvin stands out as a singular and enduring talent whose songs are slow-release works of craft and catharsis that become treasured, lifetime companions for their listeners. As a storyteller, Colvin is both keen and warm-hearted, leavening even the toughest tales with tenderness, empathy, and a searing sense of humor. She is a three-time Grammy Award winner who over the years has shared the stage and toured with legendary artists such as Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Hornsby, Emmylou Harris, and Lyle Lovett. She was honored to perform with David Broza and Jackson Browne in a very special sunrise concert at the base of the 2000-year-old fortress of Masada in Southern Israel, overlooking the Dead Sea. The concert was broadcast on PBS stations throughout the U.S. in the late fall of 2007 and in early 2008.
