Jan Bell — Born in Yorkshire England, Jan Bell splits her time between Brooklyn NY and Brown County, IN. It's a long story! An avid reader and story appreciator all her life, her songwriting has sent her to Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival Masters Stage; Glastonbury Festival; The Woody Guthrie Archives; and The Independent Music Awards Best Americana Album ‘Songs for Love Drunk Sinners’; and Best Concept Album 'Dream of the Miner's Child' - dedicated to her Grandfather.
Jan’s band ‘The Maybelles’ began as a duo with Melissa Carper in the Ozarks, and over the next decade opened for Wanda Jackson, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, & Odetta. Flying solo, she has more recently opened for Sierra Ferrell and Jolie Holland.
Circle City Bandit — The Naptown Bred, South-Louisiana Fed Folk-Americana Troubadour, Teller of Tales and Giver of All That's Forgotten, The Circle City Bandit explores the depths of what it means to be human through the tradition of intuitive song.
Westley Penland — a calm, sober, vessel of uncoolness. He recently published his first poetry chapbook “Confirmation of Life” (Alien Buddha Press) in December of 2024 and is described as a Spoken Word Poet. He enjoys cooking, movies, hiking, and spending time with his two rescue pups.
Levi Tedrow and the Remnants — An alt-country band from Bloomington, with a twist of punk.
