Arthur Godfrey is an award-winning Americana artist threading folk, blues-tinged Americana, and whiskey toned lyrics into his own autobiographical raw roots sound. He is a two-time winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Folk Category, the Maxell Song of the Year, and was one of the five finalists in the Independent Music Awards.

“Take one listen to his gritty songs about life and surviving, and you’ll recognize the soul of a poet”. – Performing Songwriter Magazine

Arthur’s unique full-bodied style has been compared to the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Joe Cocker and Tom Waits. His songs capture true stories of a lifetime growing up in inner city Boston and the social causes he’s been involved with. Arthur has been featured on the American Music Associations “This is Americana” CD as the only independent singer-songwriter alongside the honorable Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Rosanne & Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and others.

West is the solo project of Petaluma singer-songwriter and partial one-man-band Patrick Kennel. Heavily influenced by late 90’s / early 00’s post-rocalyptic-alt-folk, the music draws on alternative, emo, country, post-rock and folk genres.  Be prepared to go on a journey of high’s and lows… fasts and slows.

Kai LaBarbera is a young guitar player, singer, and songwriter hailing from Grass Valley, California. Growing up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas and being close to the blues, country, folk, and bluegrass themes prevalent to the Nevada County Fairgrounds left a lasting impression on his relationship to music.
In the present day, Kai is living in the north bay where he frequents local open mics and performs with a collective of local musicians from bands such as Julie and the Wheelbarrow, and Pete Riley and the Angel Band, mostly performing bluegrass and folk covers.
Kai values the good things in life. Good music, family, and the great outdoors. Being an old soul with a full loving heart and an open mind, he has always sought out feeling in the form of music. A good time, some soul lifting music, and boot stompin G runs are never far away.
