Detroit born Jan Krist is a well established veteran of the acoustic music scene. Jan's musical gifts have been recognized by Billboard Magazine, Entertainment Weekly Magazine, Dirty Linen, Image Journal, and others.  With 13 nominations and 4 Detroit Metro Music Awards under her belt, Krist has proven herself to be a Detroit area favorite.  Jan recently completed a duet CD with Jim Bizer.

Jim Bizer’s songs are a unique blend of humor, catchy melodies, and his own personal view of the essential craziness of being human - served up with monster guitar playing and vocals.  His songs have quickly earned accolades: three times he has been selected as a finalist in Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk competition and he was recently awarded the Grand Prize in the Great American Song contest. Most recently, he was among the very first to be invited to participate in the song competition at the 2004 Mountain Stage NewSong Festival in Charlestown, West Virginia.  His latest CD, Connected, was released in 2004.

Dave Boutette’s Midwest is full of passion, humor and shakey grace. Influenced by songwriters that span from Chuck Berry to Paul Westerberg, he documents the trips and triumphs of life between the coasts. Before stepping out on his own, Boutette spent ten years with the Detroit-based alterna-rock bar kings The Junk Monkeys.  His latest CD is called "The Piccolo Heart."

After years of performing solo, Joel Palmer joined forces with Jim Nichols to form the Blue Jays, a country blues duo. Jeff Royer joined the group on bass and sax and brought a jazz influence to the now trio.

Joel and Jeff went on to create their own original blend of folk/blues with a touch of jazz in the duo Wanderin' Wheel. Joel is currently performing music from the Great American Songbook along with his originals that are inspired by many Jazz Standards.

Drew Neslon’s latest album, "Dusty Road to Beulah Land" marks a notable growth in his standing as a songwriter and musician. Each song brings another side of Drew to the forefront, expanding beyond his folk-singer roots to embrace wider genres. Drew puts his feelings, and ours, into words and music that capture the spirit and soul of the world around us all with a common thread: Hope.
