BEN SOLLEE
Ben Sollee wants you to experience all the beauty and banality that life has to offer. It's a serious request, and his enthusiasm is genuine. Armed with a cello, Sollee is canvassing the country, sometimes by bicycle, imploring folks to rediscover the connections between music, art, film, dance, their community, and personal relationships.
Ben Sollee is not satisfied with just being a musician. It is absolutely paramount to him to incorporate collaborations, regardless of age or credentials, in his personal and professional life. "I'm such a mutt myself, biologically and socially, that it just makes sense to express that as my pedigree. In the end, that's what folk music is all about; each of us telling our own story."
RIVER WHYLESS
River Whyless (formerly Do it to Julia) is now based out of Asheville, North Carolina and has quickly become known throughout the southeast for their fresh sound and the energy of their live show. With a graduate of Appalachian State's School of Music and a classically trained violinist, River Whyless combines technical skill with the creative gifts of the band's co-songwriters Ryan O'Keefe and Halli Anderson to produce an unclassifiable sound.
