Dubbed “The second coming of Joni Mitchell,” Chelsea Saddler has been hailed as the queen of women songwriters – past and present (Florida Times Union). Her lyrical content arises from a deep well of life experiences as a queer woman, adventure, and heartache. As Chelsea played a one hour set on NPR’s “Roots and Branches” in Tennessee, she described her greatest influences as Lightning Hopkins, Leonard Cohen, and Madeline Adams.
Originally from Jacksonville, FL, Chelsea has been performing in the southeast for the past two decades with three original albums under her belt. She has opened for national touring artists Chris Pureka, Melissa Ferrick, Shawn Mullins, Elephant Revival, Mount Moriah, David Onley, Cliff Eberhardt, and Susan Werner.
Winner of the city of St. Augustine’s and The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival Songwriting Competitions, Chelsea also placed first in Bokeh Bar’s Comedy Competition in 2017.
She has spent the majority of the past decade largely focusing her musical efforts on performing with Bad Dog Mama, her collaborative project with Lauren Gilliam, and writing new music. Chelsea’s long-awaited full-length original solo album The Offering is available now.
“Zach Bryson writes songs and sings them wherever people will let him. With a voice reminiscent of a bygone era he has yodeled his way into the hearts of many! Influenced by all forms of American music his songs find a home somewhere between the Country Blues of the 1920’s and 30’s and the more modern sounds of contemporary Folk/Americana music.”
“Marina Madden is a songwriter and farmer who grew up in the Charlottesville Irish and old time folk communities. Her songwriting leans Americana with threads of the people, places, and artists who have influenced her along the way. Though she'll always call the mountains of Virginia home, she currently lives in Nashville.”
