Over the past decade, the Brooklyn-based vocalist/writer/musician/producer has built a formidable body of recordings, won an international reputation as a riveting live performer, amassed an extensive file of rapturous critical raves, (3rd Coast Music in Austin, TX writes, “Kurtz is the kind of artist who teaches us ink- stained wretches to be miserly with superlatives, so we’ll still have a stock of them when she comes around.”) and earned an equally devoted audience of fans around the world. She’s achieved these distinctions on her own terms, releasing five albums and a live DVD on her own Kismet label, touring around the world on her own dime, and building a remarkably loyal fan base one person at a time.

Jenner Fox & Jeremy Elliott are a Bellingham, WA based internationally touring duo praised for their poignant storytelling, intricate guitar interplay, and uncanny ability to blend two into one. Their debut LP, The Moon That Moves The Sea (2024), was hailed by Americana UK as “evocative and revelatory.” Fox, a prolific troubadour with nine albums in a decade, has built his reputation on heartfelt and humorous storytelling with a voice that carries equal measures of vulnerability and conviction. Elliott, a Macon Georgia native, weaves blues, rock, bluegrass, country, and West African influences into his unique virtuosic style. Since joining forces for a 365-mile bicycle tour across New England, the powerhouse duo has delighted audiences from Patagonia to Portland and sometimes even places that don’t start with P.

Gill Landry is a two-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, multi- instrumentalist, and visual artist. A Louisiana native, Gill got his start as a busker, living out of Volkswagens between the streets of New Orleans and the Pacific Northwest. After immersing himself in the rich tapestry of American folk music, in 2004, he met the Nashville outfit Old Crow Medicine Show, with whom he worked from their van-and-trailer days to Grammy wins and their induction into the Grand Ole Opry. In 2015, he parted ways with the band, dedicating himself entirely to his own writing and solo creative pursuits.

Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music.
Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumental-ist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the fl air of a master chef (he’s also an accomplished sculptor, but that’s another story). All of the music of America is in Tony’s music. Relix hit the nail on the head when writing of Tony: “True talent doesn’t need categories.
