Sparrow Smith, a multi-instrumentalist based in Marshall, NC, is well loved for her evocative songwriting, tasteful banjo playing, epic accordion chops, and striking outfits. A longtime member and leader of multiple bands (most notably Resonant Rogues) with Keith Josiah Smith, her husband and collaborator, Sparrow is stepping out under her own name with a new album of Appalachian originals. Her journey into old time started in her late teens with freight trains and Tommy Jarrell tapes, and her musical taste is also inspired by a lifelong love of dance. When not on tour, Sparrow can be found in the North Carolina mountains where she teaches Women’s Basic Carpentry and is building her own house from scratch.
Oregon/Arizona-based JASON DEA WEST has long been a lone troubadour, relentlessly rambling coast to coast for over a decade, forging and delivering his own unique blend of American folk and western music. He is a self-built, independent artist who has gained the attention of many passionate fans all over the world. WEST handled his own branding, promoting, booking, and recording productions, and his live shows are known for becoming passionate sing-alongs and cowpunk dance parties. As a one man show, playing harmonica, resophonic guitar, and suitcase kick drum, all while singing his original stories creating a sound comparable to one of a full band. Brilliantly blending vintage country, folk, and blues with timely sensibilities.
