POLLY WOOD (POLLY WOOD ( http://pollywood.ws ) is a songwriter, drummer and multi-disciplinary artist with a purely revealing and enchanting voice. She sings while she drums, letting rhythms guide her intelligent lyrics and buttery, percussive vocals. Her prolific songwriting is backed by her own rhythmic beats on the djembe, tounge drum, cajon and drum kit. Polly's sound, which hearkens the sound of a different era, has been called 'Appalachian Jazz Percussion' and 'Soulful, Feminine Rhythm & Rhyme'.

DIANE CLUCK (http://dianecluck.info) is a singer-songwriter of intuitive folk music based in Charlottesville, Virginia. She employs singing as a healing, textural experience in which audiences may wander, ponder, or simply be. Her vocal style has been noted for its clipped, glottal beauty, and described by NPR as "an unlikely mix of Aaron Neville, the Baka people, and Joni Mitchell--unaffected yet unusual". She accompanies herself on various instruments including guitar, piano, harmonium, zither, and a copper pipe instrument she built by hand. She contributed to New York's burgeoning Antifolk scene in the early 2000s; since then singer-songwriters Laura Marling, Florence Welch (of Florence And The Machine), and Sharon Van Etten have cited Diane's work as influential.

Diane will be accompanied by world percussionist Brian Festa.
