| Folksinger Jodi Jones is determined to boldly dream a better tomorrow in the wake of a broken and weary world. Deeply rooted in the musical traditions of her childhood home in the hills of Western Pennsylvania, her work is a poetic and unflinching account of the beauty and hardship of working class life in America. With defiant wit and innate musicality, she beautifies the bitter truths of our modern age into song as an act of love and solidarity. Art may not save us from our problems, but Jones believes it is crucial to surviving them with our humanity intact. |

To sing is to live, to live is to hope, and to hope is to find the strength to fight another day in these dark and uncertain times. With guitar, banjo, fiddle, and even dulcimer in hand, she seeks to alchemize pain into purpose and break old ground to plant new seeds of hope and change wherever she goes.
Jack Romano & The Romanaires create a mythic sound of the 20th century as a backdrop for stories from modern American life.
Jack was born in the New Jersey highlands, a unique cultural region whose “hill people” share as much in common with Appalachian communities in West Virginia as with cities like New York City and Philadelphia. He grew up listening to artists like Johnny Cash, John Denver, and Gene Autry, alongside Frank Sinatra, Dion & the Belmonts, and The Spinners.
His independently-produced, debut single “Haunted Man”, which is from the perspective of a mournful-yet-determined man to reflect on his past mistakes, captured the attention of young online country music audiences, in particular, young men. His work led to a deal with producer Max Shrager of Studio Zoe (associated with That’s Love Records) in Princeton, NJ. Several recordings were made with reel-to-reel, analog technology and feature The Romanaires: Liam Bornovski on the pedal steel, Patrick Graham Mellor on the telecaster, Matt “Papa Soul” Sommerfield on the bass, and Jon Schneider on the drum kit. The release is expected in 2026.
“Timeless sounds, real songwriting, exceptional showmanship. If these can be achieved, we will salvage music from the grifters, the phonies, and the robots, and return it to where it belong |
