Chris Baron describes his music as “funky folk Americana with flashes of rock blended with orchestral textures.” That about sums up his eclectic approach to songwriting and his upbeat performances. He began producing albums and EPs at age 17. He has twenty-seven of them at last count. He won first place in the performance competition at the Tucson Folk Festival. Songwriter Dan Weber put it this way “…his live show exudes the wonderment and enthusiasm of an artist drawing an authentic connection with his audience.” He’ll be joined by cellist Debbie Stewart.

Tim McNary found his passion for songwriting while backpacking throughout South America after college. Like many drifters, he flirted with music since first picking up a guitar at age 12. The son of a Pentecostal minister, his upbringing had him believing the devil surged through him when he played the instrument. His influences include Ben Howard, Foy Vance, and Leif Vollebekk. With a very cinematic approach to his craft, the indie-folk artist has had many film and television placements with his songs.
