Andy McLeod is a solo guitarist and string band musician from southeastern PA. This past winter he and his partner Sarah Bachman contributed a track called "Whistlin' Down the Rows" to Spinster Sounds' recent mixtape, "Measure, Pour, and Mixtape," and along with self-releasing several CD's and tapes over the years he has collaborated on recording projects with groups like The Magic Tuber Stringband and Weirs. His latest album is called "Bolero", and features 9 guitar instrumentals from across several continents, reinterpreted for open G tuning (or "Spanish" tuning, or "Parlor" tuning) and standard tuning, and one original song, on six, 12, and nylon string guitar. 

Raised primarily on classical and hymnal music, Ziona Riley is a skilled weaver of harmony and dissonance. Meaning and mystery are knit together in evocative songwriting. Highlighted as one of the best local EPs of 2019, the Nashville Scene called Riley's EP, Not Too Precious “a short collection of deeply
thoughtful, impactful songs about family and contemporary society.”

Kelby Clark is a composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist from South Georgia. He is inspired by the old-time fiddle & banjo music of his home state as well as drone, free improvisation and other forms of both experimental and traditional music from around the world. He has released solo work as well as collaborations with Jeremiah M. Carter and Sarah Viviana Valdez on labels such as Vaagner, Working Man Lay Down, Garden Portal and Eastern Nurseries. Clark has also scored several independent films such as Sometimes I Hear the Light Leak in Through the Corners of My Room (2023) and She Drank Vinegar from the River (2023) . He is currently based in Nashville, Tennessee.
