MICHELLE SWAN
Introduced to the guitar at age nine by her father, himself a former singer/songwriter, award winning songwriter, Michelle Swan, has pursued a musical path ever since. After studying classical musical and clarinet performance at Towson State University, Michelle entered the Baltimore-Washington music scene in 1990, performing at local open-mics and coffeehouses and has been performing ever since. She has released 3 records on her own label and has won Mid-Atlantic Songwriting contest’s gold award and best song overall in 2023 & 2024. Self-reflective and acutely observant, Michelle deftly weaves lyric and note together to create intensely personal songs that tell of sentiments and circumstances nonetheless familiar to everyone.

CHERITH YULY
Pop music of the 50's, 60's, and 2000s birthed a love of music that has carried Cherith through her life. Raised country, living suburban, and working city, Cherith has grown and developed an appreciation of the variety of the human experience, and the potential that this world has to evolve. So if you go to hear Cherith, what can you expect? You can expect a healthy mix of popular songs you know, covers of songs you've never heard, and original music. Cherith's original music celebrates the places, memories, and people who have made her the human that she is today, and seeks to encourage others to do the same. To celebrate all that has brought them to existence, and to celebrate the beauty that is the human life.
