The Folk Project Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series presents Allison Strong, Lily DeTaeye, Jillian Matundan

Allison Strong
Hailed as “captivating” by the New York Times, Colombian-American singer-songwriter and actor Allison Strong is releasing her bilingual EP Weightless in 2026. Strong has opened for Grammy Winners LeAnn Rimes and Jesse + Joy, and earned recognition as a NJ State Council on the Arts Music Fellow, ASCAP Latin Beat Songwriting Grantee, Kerville New Folk Finalist, Hudson West Fest Emerging Artist Winner and Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist. She starred opposite Adam Sandler in the Netflix comedies The Week Of and Leo, and appeared in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Broadway’s Bye Bye Birdie and Mamma Mia!

Lily DeTaeye
Lily DeTaeye is a Des Moines, Iowa native with a foundation in alt rock, pop, and folk, who delivers original songs in honey-smooth vocals. She has lit up venues from Salmonfest in Ninilchik, Alaska, to Americanafest in Nashville, to The Bitter End in New York City. Her third studio album, Even With My Eyes Closed, is a nostalgic and biting entry into the world of dreamy pop. Think Lilith Fair etherealism meets barbed hooks that stick right in the jaw. DeTaeye is based in Brooklyn, NY.

Jillian Matundan
Jillian Matundan is an award-winning, multi-instrumental singer-songwriter, trade unionist, and first-generation Filipina American who has been winning over audiences with her resonant vocals, acute and relatable observations, unique guitar-style, and sharp sense of humor. Ever since returning to the scene in 2019, Jillian has been on a tear, winning multiple songwriting awards (including fifteen Mid-Atlantic Song Contest Awards), playing numerous shows on the club and festival circuit, and collaborating with musicians in the studio and on stage. She has opened for Susan Werner, Ellis Paul, Laurie MacAllister (of Red Molly), Natalia Zuckerman, and many others.
