Dylan Patrick Ward is a folk misfit from Vermont's dirty south, known for his poignant storytelling and irreverent sense of humor. Equal parts country-folk troubadour and indie-rock weirdo, his songs weave stories of outcasts, oddballs and people on the brink, and have earned him comparisons to great musical tragicomedians like John Prine, Randy Newman and the Mountain Goats. A promising up-and-comer, he's been featured in the Monday Discovery Series at Club Passim and the Emerging Artist Showcase at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. He's also shared the stage with renowned acts like Bill Callahan, Guy Davis, Jeffrey Lewis, Peter Mulvey and others. His new album Ne'er-Do-Wells is available to stream everywhere. https://www.dylanpatrickward.com

Jake McKelvie has traveled the DIY touring circuit in the US and UK for over a decade, carving out a niche for himself as a songwriter and performer. Known for his off-kilter and whimsical "stream of self-consciousness" lyricism and charming stage demeanor, he keeps audiences engaged both as a solo performer or with his newly minted backing band, “the New Old Band". He released his latest LP "A New Kind of Hat" in 2024 and has been touring in support of that since. https://jakemckelvie.com
