Cormac McCarthy made his singing debut at the age of three on his father's
radio show in Cincinnati. His roommate in college was Bill Morrissey, who
encouraged McCarthy to take his music to the stage. Now, with 25 years on
the folk circuit, he has released his fourth album, "Curious Thing."

The Portsmouth Herald has called McCarthy "the closest thing New England's
ever come to having our own Woody Guthrie," and the Boston Phoenix
proclaimed, "Next time he comes within 100 miles, you must go hear him!"

Antje Duvekot (pronounced Aunt-yuh Doo-va-kott) was born in Germany and
raised in the US. Her debut 2006 release, "Big Dream Boulevard," which she
wrote while "hiding out" in a cabin in Vermont, has received wide-spread
acclaim from the folk music world. The album was produced by Seamus Egan of
Solas, and released on songwriter Ellis Paul's label, Black Wolf Records. It
was voted "#1 Folk Release of 2006" by the Boston Globe.

Duvekot has won numerous awards, including the prized Kerrville (TX) Best
Folk Award.
She plays acoustic and electric guitar.

Jake Armerding started violin lessons at the age of four, and now uses the
instrument to "bend the boundaries of the genre," according the Boston
Globe. He was only 20 when he released his first album, "Caged Bird," an
immediate hit on Boston's folk station, WUMB. His eponymous 2003 CD launched
him to debut appearances at the Newport Folk Festival and at Kerrville.

Now touring nationally, Armerding will perform songs from his current
release, "Walking on the World," He plays guitar and mandolin, as well as
the fiddle.
