Pete Mancini
New York songwriter Pete Mancini “crafts a warm, organic sound bearing deep country roots, but still informed by rock ‘n’ roll.” (NPR) After achieving critical acclaim with his first band Butchers Blind, Pete has toured with Jimmy Webb and Joe Pernice, and opened for Los Lobos, Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Cracker, Rhett Miller, Amy Helm, Larry Campbell & Theresa Williams, and Iain Matthews. He is also a member of The Famous Doctor Scanlon Band, which honors the musical legacy of Travis McKeveny.

Trae Sheehan

Up-and-coming singer-songwriter Trae Sheehan burst out of his native Appalachia and began touring after high school, and has been recording and performing throughout North America ever since. His songs have charted on the Americana Radio and Roots Radio charts, propelled by his smooth voice and heartfelt lyrics. Trae says, “If I can stand on it, it’s a stage,” and from the grandest stages to the humblest street corners, he performs and sings with a passion unmatched. Trae Sheehan is a heart-worn storyteller whose music reflects the landscapes and emotions of a life well-traveled.
