Sarah Siskind is seen as one of today's most eclectic songwriters – with songs covered by Alison Krauss, Randy Travis, Bon Iver, the Infamous Stringdusters April Verch and more. Krauss released two Siskind songs as singles, and in 2008, her rendition of "Simple Love" was nominated for a Grammy.
In 2009, Sarah stepped into the artist spotlight with her own album Say it Louder(Red Request Records/Thirty Tigers). Although she has been making records since the tender age of 14, (including the 2002 release "Covered" which featured world-renowned guitarist Bill Frisell), Say it Louder is making the biggest splash among fans and critics alike. Bonnie Raitt calls it "a masterpiece" while "Big Al" Anderson (NRBQ) calls it "one of the best records ever made." Al Kooper (Bob Dylan, Lynard Skynard) raves: "This might be the Tapestry of the millennium!" Bon Iver, the indie-rock sensation who has been covering Siskind's material live, states "Sarah's music changed my life." Bob Boilen of NPR was so crazy about "Say it Louder" that he featured it on NPR's "All Songs Considered", his exclusive video-cast "Tiny Desk Concert" series, and in June, the title track "Say it Louder" was named NPR's Song of the Day. In October of 2009, Say it Louder was named Americana Album of the Year in the Nashville Music Awards.
 Colorado native, Travis Book plays bass and sings in the acoustic-powerhouse group, the Infamous Stringdusters, winner of IBMA's "Emerging Artist of the Year", "Album of the Year", and "Song of the Year" in 2007. The band's third album is due out in April 2010, which was engineered and co-produced by multiple Grammy-winner, Gary Pacsoza. Book and Siskind wed in 2008, and combine their musical talents for a stellar performance. Siskind's busy schedule for 2010 includes a European Spring tour with legendary Paul Brady in April. We’re thrilled she’s able to make a stop in Lyons, CO before crossing the pond!
 Sharing the bill is Colorado favorite Slipstream – “a young band with an ear for the past, an eye to the future, and the talent to bridge both beautifully" (Bluegrass Now). With Rich Zimmerman on mandolin and vocals, Brad Murphey (“Murph”) on guitar, Aaron Youngberg on banjo and lap steel, and Erin Youngberg on bass and vocals, Slipstream has forged a unique sound within the world of bluegrass and old-time music – never loosing the essence and soul that makes traditional music endure. “Slipstream plays bluegrass with creativity, drive and clarity – just the way I want to hear it” – Ross Martin (Matt Flinner Trio, Mollie O'Brien Band)
