Steve Poltz is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter and founding member of the Rugburns, known for blending mischief, heart, and off-the-cuff poetry into his music. Based in East Nashville and constantly on tour, he rarely slows down long enough for the studio—making JoyRide, his 14th solo album, something of a happy accident sparked by a neighborly nudge from producer Dex Green. The record captures Poltz in his natural state: unfiltered, spontaneous, and gloriously chaotic, with songs that swing from absurdist humor to heartfelt reflection.
Rainbow Girls are an eclectic folk trio hailing from the golden countryside just north of California’s Bay Area. Vanessa May, Erin Chapin, and Caitlin Gowdey seamlessly combine soul-touching harmonies, varied instrumentals, and poignant lyrical content into a beautiful sonic tapestry. Throughout their performance, voices are paired with an ever-changing amalgamation of acoustic and slide guitar, keys, upright bass, harmonica, and an array of vocal techniques, creating an engaging and often emotionally moving live show.
