Cara Jean Wahlers

Cara Jean Wahlers released her debut album, Goodnight Charlotte in 2010.
Since then, it's garnered national press and has received mentions on
numerous local Top Ten lists, including Best Local Album (Roots/Acoustic)
2010, included charting on the Village Voice's (NYC) Pazz and Jop 2010
listing. Nuvo's Rob Nichols' says, "Wahlers works inside a pleasing Joni
Mitchell/Ricki Lee Jones/Emmylou Harris template - more West coast than
rural - though a hint of Indiana in her voice helps anchor a sound more
organic than shiny." She is currently working on a follow-up album and
writing a play. For more info, carajeanwahlers.com

Heartfelt lyrics and wit are at the core of many singer-songwriters, but
the ability to translate feelings to others is where Joel Henderson sets
himself apart. With true-to-self lyrics and timeless melodies, Henderson
combines folk, country, blues, gospel, and classic pop with equal
reverence. Henderson's new album Locked Doors & Pretty Fences is a
gorgeously melodic and thoughtful endeavor. Produced by Paul Mahern,
Henderson captures shades of heartland heroes like John Mellencamp, Bruce
Springsteen, and James McMurtry; but Henderson's tunes are also right at
home on a playlist of contemporaries like Ron Sexsmith, Amos Lee, and Ryan
Adams. Whether performing solo or with his band, Henderson promises an
intimate experience of storytelling, fine musicianship and beautiful
songs. For more info, joelhenderson.com

Together, Cara Jean Wahlers and Joel Henderson weave Gillian Welch/David
Rawlings like two part harmonies, with Henderson's guitar and Wahlers'
upright bass.
