His grass roots network of listeners has been built upon years of touring the U.S., predominantly focused on the east coast. Zipf’s music has been featured on ABC, MTV, VHI and other TV/film outlets. He has been reviewed in PASTE, American Songwriter, The Washington Post, Popdose, Atwood Magazine, among other publications. Since 2003, Zipf has released nine albums and scored two documentaries.

Produced by Matt Williams, it features Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant, Alison Krauss), Jennifer Condos (Ray LaMontagne, Joe Henry), Dennis Crouch (Emmylou Harris, John Fogerty) and Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Andrew Bird). 

Dan Stepp is a songwriter based in Gainesville, Fl. His songwriting draws on influences of folk, traditional country, blues, bluegrass, and jazz and the great American songbook. His current projects include the chamber folk group The Wire Birds, The traditional country group the Hard Luck Society, and the jazz and blues influenced project the Ramblin’ Mutts. You can also catch him most Tuesdays at the Blue Jay singing jazz standards with the house band at the jazz jam.

Jeremiah Jones is a storyteller, known for delivering soul-baring performances armed only with an acoustic guitar and a gritty tenor. Audiences gravitate to his disarming and self-deprecating sense of humor while his songs invite the listener to better understand their own story. His genre-blending songs encompass themes of love, loss and faith. The sound: a Georgia O'Keeffe desert landscape meets a well-aged Kentucky bourbon leaving you with the feeling of an unexpected call from an old friend. The new record, ARIZONA, is a telling of the last few years of travel, it's about leaving and coming home, finding hope in the unexpected.
