David Henry
David Henry and his band bring elements of country, folk, rock, and soul to every one of their passionate, ambitious perfomances. Three-part harmonies, ascended guitar leads, a driving rhythm section, and fiery songwriting delivers a show that is unmistakably David Henry.
Mark Tegio
Tegio's songs include tales of wanderers and outcasts, dreamers and revelers, lovers and losers; all of whom he has been at one time or another. Originally from San Diego himself, Tegio found fellow native Tom Waits to be an early influence. Waits' fantastical songs of seedy, sordid characters, accompanied by his raspy, guttural voice, inspired Tegio's writing and singing. When Tegio was introduced to Texas songwriters such as Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley, he was quick to adapt some of his favorite aspects of their writing into his own developing style. Townes' dark, poetic imagery, especially of natural beauty, paired with his lonesome yet hopeful songs, combined with the levity Foley frequently used in songs and Waits' depictive storytelling, unite to create the holy union of barroom poetry that is Mark Tegio's sound.

Freeman Dejongh
Freeman DeJongh is a folk and western songwriter who lives in the mountains of Idaho. The sounds and stories he arranges into harmonies and songs are reflections of the natural spaces within and around him. Freeman is a multi-instrumentalist whose curiosities are focused on interweaving the eerie silver sounds of his pedal steel guitar, the electric sparkles of telecasters, the wooden hums of old-time acoustics with the atmospheric drones of organs and synthesizers. Freeman’s voice comes softly from the heart and he sings to share all of his love and sadness with you. The music he creates roams freely between many traditions of American music including folk, jazz, psychedelic, and country and western…
