Seth Adam
Singer/songwriter Seth Adam writes compelling, genuine songs with honest lyrics. Taking musical cues from artists like Counting Crows, Tom Petty, and Jason Isbell, he creates his own brand of edgy, Americana-informed rock & roll with a socially-conscious message. His latest release, “Fits and Starts and Stops,” is "...a 10-track collection of evocative songs" (Randall Radic, Tattoo.com). Ryan Martin from Jammerzine says, “Seth Adam builds a stage for his voice and lyrics in a true and masterful form. Taking nods from vintage radio and Americana, Seth douses that with the fuel of rock and the penchant for classic alternative. This is a lesson for songwriters.”
Julia Sanders & Jojo Harnish
On tour all the way from Ashville, Julia Sanders is an Indie-folk Americana artist whose emotionally resonant songs blend grounded storytelling with cosmic questioning, exploring identity and the quiet complexities of modern life. Her latest album, Dark Matter, praised by Glide Magazine as "cool and collected folk-rock that shimmers," was followed by the June 30 release of her single "Maybe Joy," an intimate indie folk anthem about resilience, connection, and hope. A rising voice in Americana, Sanders has appeared at AVL Fest, WNCW Studio B, WDVX Blue Plate Special, and Rock For Relief, supported artists including Jaime Wyatt, Esther Rose, and The Deslondes, and was selected for the first-ever Garden & Gun compilation.
Jojo Harnish is a country singer songwriter living in Asheville, NC. He has traveled extensively around America working seasonal farm jobs, commercial fishing in Alaska, living in New Orleans and flat out wandering around. He draws heavily on these traveling experiences, queerness, and the outskirts of love and society in his work. His debut album 'Kingdom Of Loneliness' is streaming everywhere and was recorded and produced by John James Tourville (The Deslondes). He was born and raised in Lancaster County, PA.

Misty Blues: Ticketed Show
This is a ticketed show. $28
All ages show.
2019 International Blues Challenge finalist, Misty Blues, is fronted by lead singer/band founder Gina Coleman. The band is based out of Berkshire County, Massachusetts playing original and traditional blues with hints of jazz, soul, funk and tent revival gospel since 1999. The band has recorded with Eric Gales, Charles Neville and Joe Louis Walker, and opened for contemporary blues artists like Shemekia Copeland, Mike Zito, Albert Castiglia, Tab Benoit, James Montgomery, John Primer, Roomful Of Blues, Albert Cummings and Michael Powers. Misty Blues performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., Canada and the UK. The band has been nominated for a few Independent Blues Music Awards and their original recordings have broad international airplay. In 2024 the band had a song they released selected for use in a U.S. Presidential campaign ad.
In the summer of 1999 Gina Coleman was performing in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin In The Sun. That production featured the acting of Ruben Santiago Hudson, Viola Davis, Kimberly Elise and Gloria Foster. Coleman was cast as a gospel singer. Nearing the end of the show’s run, Ruben Santiago Hudson gave Coleman a cd collection entitled Men Are Like Streetcars. He told her that her voice was perfectly suited for the blues and urged her to take that next musical direction. Coleman heeded his advice, and after a quarter of a century, Misty Blues has stood the test of time.
Silver Lining, the band's 15th album released in their 25 years together, exemplifies their musical evolution as a contemporary blues band — and how the blues can play center stage amongst a cast of varied genre influences. The album tells the story in the lyrical blues style of the band’s intrepid journey through the ups and downs of the last 25 years as one of the hardest working musical groups in New England.
“I am absolutely blown away by how fast 25 years has come and gone. It feels like it was yesterday when I asked Bill Patriquin if he wanted to be in a blues band with me. The evolution of the band has taken several turns over the past quarter of a century, but I couldn’t be happier with the direction and caliber of music we are producing today. Silver Lining is categorically the best music we have created and I can’t wait to see what we do next!”
– Gina Coleman
