JUDY KASS

Judy Kass is an award-winning songwriter based in the NY Hudson Valley. She draws in her audience with soulful vocals, no-nonsense lyrical storytelling and genre-bending exploration of guitar and piano. Growing up in a family of musicians, Judy began playing at an early age, moving from her classical piano training to accompanying the songs she soon started to write on both keyboard and guitar. Judy’s 2014 debut album, “Better Things” and her 2016 CD, “Beyond the Ash and Steel” both received notable airplay, appearing on the Folk DJ List of Top Albums for those years. Her latest solo album release, “New Skin,” debuted at #4 on the Folk Alliance Top Albums Chart for July, 2025. In addition to her solo projects, Judy also performs as a member of the acoustic trio “Us!” with Glen Roethel and Amy Soucy.

JAMES MARGOLIS

James Margolis is a powerhouse guitarist, songwriter, and singer inspired by Delta bluesmen like Skip James, Chicago's Magic Sam, American folk music, jazz, outlaw country, soul, and hip-hop. Possessing a voice compared to Frank Sinatra, he soulfully belts while finger-picking like Doc Watson. Margolis honed his voice busking on NYC subway platforms and has since toured the East Coast and beyond, opening up for the likes of Willie Watson (of Old Crow Medicine Show).
