About Matt Borrello:

Matt Borrello is a singer-songwriter from Southeastern Massachusetts. For five years Matt has performed regularly in the Boston/Providence area, usually as a solo acoustic act, but also as a sideman for other songwriters and as the leader of his band, the Quality Dogs. His songs draw their structures from folk, country, blues, and rock music. He is a lover of spontaneous collaborations and his songs often have several different arrangements. Matt writes from a personal perspective, but his songs are markedly devoid of the boring self-pity that plagues the repertoires of many acoustic balladeers. He has several protest songs and no breakup songs. Matt’s insightful lyrics and passionate performances have earned him recognition in various New England talent showcases and songwriting contests, most notably at the Boston Folk Festival Youth Songwriting Contest

About Brooks WIlliams:
Brooks Williams is the proverbial triple threat. He plays a fiery guitar, has a rich and silky voice, and writes hook-laden songs. He is one of the most commanding performers on the acoustic Roots and Blues scene and is ranked one of the world’s Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists.

The San Antonio Light says that Williams is a “fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!” For 25 years he has been wowing audiences worldwide, every night delivering the deepest and most intense interpretations of everything from early blues to inventive covers to his own recent original compositions. Dirty Linen calls him one of “America’s musical treasures.”

Marc Douglas Berardo is the kind of hard working, fast moving, adventure seeking, keen observer who lives for the story and the song. In what amounts to song length works of fiction, Berardo’s sharply drawn portraits cast a net on unusual and beguiling characters and places. With a painter’s eye for detail, and music firmly rooted in the great American sound, Berardo sings about circus retirees, expatriates in Florida rum bars, union iron workers, old poets, aimless New York City debutantes, near death car crashes, hard nosed fishermen and of course, the changes that experience brings to everyone. He does this “simply and well” with what Rambles Cultural Magazine calls: “careful images and great tunes.”

“Marc Douglas Berardo is a talented Westerly acoustic artist whose material concentrates on the sea and its allure with strong melodies and a memorable voice.” -The Boston Phoenix

“Our talented Westerly songwriter, Marc Douglas Berardo writes stunning, sharply drawn Americana portrait-like stories that are excellent.” -Jim Vickers-Motif Magazine, Providence, RI

About Nathan Bell:
Nathan Bell is in the second phase of career that began with acclaim in the 1980s, followed by a long stretch outside the music world, now resumed as a solo performer. He is still in his way outside the music world. A powerful songwriter and performer.

“Bell’s mature talent makes a good case for the argument that people shouldn’t start writing songs until they’ve been around long enough to know what the fuck they’re talking about.” —John Conquest, Third Coast Music

“How good was Nathan Bell? The heavy drinkers and hard cases refused to piss until the show was over.”—-Jay Johnson, proprietor of Honky Tonk House Concerts

About Seryn:
Using folk instrumentation and world rhythm, Seryn crafts music from soaring to serene while flowing seamlessly from one extreme to the other. Paste Magazine was impressed enough to name their 2011 SXSW performance Best of the Fest! I expect the next time you hear Seryn in the area it will be at Track 29 or Bonnaroo.

“I fell in love with this band’s recorded music just in time to book them for our SXSW day parties, and they dominated the showcase. I don’t know what they put in the water in Denton (fellow Dentonite Sarah Jaffe also slayed), but the majestic swells make it feel like you’re watching Arcade Fire before their first album.” – Josh Jackson, Paste

“Watching Seryn perform, it’s hard to convince yourself that those crystalline, multi-part harmonies are pre-recorded or some kind of sleight of ear. Ferociously skilled and preparing a full-length debut for release later this year, Seryn’s is a name you will hear over and over (and over) again in the months to come.”- Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Seryn’s SXSW Show
