Sloan Wainwright: Defying standard categorization, singer/songwriter Sloan Wainwright, consistently demonstrates her easy command of a variety of American musical styles — pop, folk, jazz and blues — held together by the melodious tone of her rich contralto, with the end result being a unique and soulful hybrid.

Her family tree (brother and folk-music luminary Loudon Wainwright, nephew Rufus Wainwright, nieces Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche) reads like a who’s who of contemporary folk music. Sloan’s incredible gift is not only her unique songwriting ability but also her dramatically voiced rendition of original songs.

“She’s folk influenced, but the real star here is her voice. Warm and smoky and smooth, it makes her earthy, ominous lyrics seem all the more intense.”

With a solid and impressive discography of 10 original CD releases to her credit, Sloan continues to write, sing and perform live and has won two songwriting awards at the annual EmPower Posi Music Awards.  In addition, Sloan has written numerous musical compositions for theater and dance and teaches at many of the best-known master songwriter series and workshops.

Sloan’s open spirit and first-hand experience is welcome –year after year– in the musical classrooms of such prestigious song camps as Richard Thompson’s Frets and Refrains, The Swannanoa Gathering, SummerSongs, WUMB Radio’s Summer Acoustic Music Week (SAMW), Winter Acoustic Music Weekend (WAMW), Moab Folk Camp, Cape Cod Songwriting Retreat and emPower Music & Arts Totally Cool Song School

Rebecca Haviland: Rebecca Haviland and Whiskey Heart is a New York based soulful Americana band. They have been playing together for 6 years and is compiled of veteran session and touring musicians Chris Anderson (Martin Sexton, Post Modern Jukebox), Todd Caldwell (Crosby Still & Nash), and Kenny Shaw (Dispatch). After releasing their debut, self titled record in 2012, Rebecca and the band recently headed back into the studio to make their second record. Recorded at Atomic Sound in Brooklyn, NY with producer Don DiLego (Hollis Brown, Jesse Malin), this new set of tunes reflects Rebecca’s experiences on the road, encompassing American Roots music.
