This is a seated show, seats are first come, first served. Doors open at 7 PM, music starts at 8 PM. The first set is a duo set with Brittany Ann Tranbaught, followed by a solo set from Diane Cluck.

Diane Cluck is a singer-songwriter who leans on classical piano training in approaching guitar, dance as an inspiration for rediscovering piano, and voice as a rhythm instrument and paintbrush. House Tears, her ninth record, was recorded with Colin Killalea at White Star Sound in Louisa, VA and released this year. “Bell-clear and hotly austere, her lithe, dynamic voice hasn’t much kin. Categorizing her as folk is simplistic. (Cluck) emanates something humble but mythic. Appalachia or ancient Athens?” – Time Out New York

Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is a Philadelphia-based songwriter whose queer Americana heartbreaker “Kiss You” won Song of the Year in the 2021 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Tranbaugh has been writing songs and playing shows as a side gig since she was a teenager, but in February 2023, at 31 years old, she finally quit her office job to pursue a full-time career in music. Her newest release is a self-titled EP produced by Grammy-winner Tyler Chester which showcases Tranbaugh in her new era: energetic, self-assured, surrounded by her beloved musical community, and more commanding as a vocalist and writer than ever before.

Shona Carr grew up in up state New York where she attended old time and folk festivals with her family. She moved to Virginia after attending Berklee College of Music and played in multiple projects, most notably the all woman folk quartet “The Buck Stops Here” as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. She played all throughout the southeastern United States at festivals such as Merle Fest, Fresh Grass, and Philadelphia Folk Fest. She currently plays in Brittany Ann Tranbaugh’s band, runs a festival in Philly called “Sweet Juice Fest” and is set to launch her solo project in 2025 with an EP.
