Carole Wise – Carole’s music is not afraid. She sings about love, loss, society’s issues, finding self, but always with a silver lining - a belief that every experience is an opportunity to be or do better. Her music is born of her heart, starting as a feeling - often while communing with nature - a personal reaction to a moment in time, or the release of deep rooted feelings. The clarity of meaning in her writing then transcends the personal to a universal connection. Wise’s 2021 release, The Long Way Home, charted in the top 20 on Folk Radio. Her most recent release, North Star, from February 2024 has been on its way to similar accolades, charting two weeks in the top 10 on Folk Radio. Since 2022, Carole Wise has performed hundreds to live and virtual shows across the country. Highlights have been headlining The Troubadour as well as opening for Vance Gilbert, co-billing with Cold Chocolate at The Rose Garden Coffeehouse, Club Passim, The Back Room and Two Way Street Coffee House.
Dylan Metrano – Dylan Metrano founded the band Tiger Saw in 1999 in Newburyport, MA. Tiger Saw has long been one of New England's preeminent indie rock bands, playing hundreds of shows across three continents. The band's sound has evolved over the years- from their slowcore roots to a DIY "basement soul" era, Americana / country collaborations, to the current expansive, experimental pop sound. The band has collaborated with members of Deer Tick, Dirty Projectors, Songs: Ohia, Castanets, Pearl & the Beard, Brown Bird, and many more.
Jason Roman - Jason has kicked around the country a bit as a singer in a few rock and Americana groups; Inertia (Boston, MA), Deacon Brody (Athens, GA) & Luniere (Portland,ME). When not singing in loud groups you may find him lurking in dark open mics, studying and enjoying the many talented songwriters found around Maine and New England. His latest Album, In From The Cold (2023), is his proudest musical achievement to date but he isn’t resting on his laurels. He has recently begun pre-production on a new solo album as well as new material from his childhood band, Inertia. Stylistically, he is told he has hints of Cat Stevens on top of his 70’s singer/songwriter vibes.
