ABOUT:
LAURIN HUNTER
Laurin Hunter is an independent San Francisco Bay Area based singer/songwriter interweaving elements of folk, americana, rock, pop, alternative, and world music. Laurin is an artist who joyfully defies limitations and his explosive live shows leave audience members feeling transported, rejuvenated and understood. His utilization of alternate tunings, tastefully innovative guitar work, soulful vocal delivery (spanning four octaves), and introspective lyrical storytelling combine to take listeners on a transformational journey of discovery they’ve never been on before.
After surviving a near fatal car accident while studying economics at Sonoma State University, Laurin’s perspective and life trajectory drastically changed, catapulting him to dedicate his new lease on life to his musical artistry. Shortly afterwards, Laurin attended Belmont University in Nashville, TN where he studied and mentored with Grammy Award winning songwriters. He has since won competitions such as the West Coast Songwriters contest and NSAI new song competition. He has toured across the US and played venues such as the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA as well as the Blue Bird Cafe ASCAP Writer Showcase in Nashville, TN. Laurin's 2023 self released album “Face Up” has accumulated over 4 million global streams, and he's racked up millions more writing for other major label artists.
LOLA GUTHRIE
Lola Guthrie is a young folk singer-songwriter from Sebastopol, California. Drawn from a well of fierce love for humanity, her songs are ripe with poetry and wisdom beyond her years. Her vivid lyrics will take you to a place in your heart where beauty dances with the pain of the world. Lola weaves myths and stories from history, literature, and religion into her songs to face the deep questions in life: mortality, freedom, and the great mystery that trembles from your own calloused hands to the constellations above you. Her striking voice carries the emotion of her words and often silences the room immediately.
PAULA FONG
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Paula Fong commands attention the moment she takes the stage. She pairs pure-toned clarity with a soulful power that defies her small stature. Her sound traverses the full landscape of roots music - from stark Gillian Welch-style acoustic to country swing to rockin' singer/songwriter strength. Her genre versatility draws comparisons to Patty Griffin, Linda Ronstadt and Karla Bonoff. Whether performing solo with acoustic guitar, alongside multi-instrumentalist Phil Glenn (Moonsville, Show Ponies), or with a full band, Fong captivates with warmth of her surprising intensity and grit. The single "Ophelia" from her debut EP Chestnut Mare earned International Acoustic Music Award recognition, with 2026 bringing a bold two-part 10 song album produced by Justin James Sinclair (ROSIE, Jenny Owen Youngs, Weezer, Kate Micucci, Train).
She grew up singing in choirs and a cappella groups, and spent some formative time in the French countryside, where local folk traditions left a lasting impression on her. Her love of harmony and roots music became the foundation of everything she'd go on to create. Over the years she explored an eclectic range of styles, from classical to Chinese opera - before finding a true home in an Americana church band whose music lived at the intersection of acoustic country, folk, and the spiritual. It was there that she fell in love with Americana roots music and the voices that defined it - Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell - while also drawing inspiration from highly successful contemporary artists like The Wailin' Jennys and Nickel Creek. From 2015 to 2019, she partnered with Seattle/LA-based singer-songwriter Tom Kell, and together they released two full-length albums of co-written music. Aside from her solo project, Paula directs an Americana music service at Rolling Hills United Methodist and tours as vocalist with (and sometimes opening for) Abby Posner's band, Abby Posner and the Big Fall.
JOLENE DIXON
Hippie hillbilly & folk rock/Americana
Jolene’s what they call a unicorn - a rare breed of singer-songwriter raised by Music City, with two musical parents. Her dad, celebrated sound engineer and songwriter Donivan Cowart, worked with Dolly. Her name was going to be Wendy.
A studio mouse from the time she was born, she soaked in the influences of her Dad's colleagues: Emmylou, Lari White, and Lee Ann Womack. She listened to Roseanne Cash records being mixed and Rodney Crowell songs as they were written, teaching her the power of sharing our stories through music; the empathy, healing, and beauty a song holds for the human soul.
And as she grew up and started collecting records by Amy Grant, Sheryl Crow, the Chicks, and Fiona Apple, a mosaic of her roots in country, plus 90s rocker chick tendencies developed into her sound. And a storied life, her coal mine for songs.
Recently off the road with her adopted "Uncle" Rodney Crowell, Jolene is currently working on an EP due out this fall featuring the song "Bloom" written with Grammy award winner Melody Walker produced by Dan Knobler.
