Gabrielle Louise & Ryan Dilts

Gabrielle Louise & Ryan Dilts are a pairing of sensitivity and force, performing songs that combine Americana and bluegrass traditions. Gabrielle's emotive vocal delivery and honed songwriting is elevated by the nuance and precision of Ryan's agile guitar work. His flatpicking has a crystalline quality that converses with her voice eloquently, subdividing the time to create layered, rhythmic interest that weaves hypnotic spells. While their material harnesses the authenticity of folk music, it is arranged with a sophistication that aims to honor both of their personal heroes: Joni Mitchell and Tony Rice. After graduating Berklee in 2007, Gabrielle crossed the country many times over in a veggie oil-powered tour van, released nine records of original work, and has been entrusted to open for greats from Joan Osborn to the late Guy Clark.

Natalie Spears 

Natalie Spears brings listeners in touch with the warmth of community, the quiet awe of wild places, and the intimate corners of humanity. Inspired by her father's English Folk heritage and talents as a Jazz pianist, Natalie carries a deep love for porch picking music and music that swings. Drawing on these roots and pulling from a quiver of instruments (banjo, bass, piano, and guitar), her sound is both nostalgic and contemporary, sassy and sweet, contemplative and playful. In 2021, Natalie’s duo, Lizzy Plotkin & Natalie Spears, released their debut EP, “Just Over the Ridge,” which reached #10 album of the year on the Folk Alliance International Dj Folk Charts and her song, Seasons Change, reached #4 song of the year.
