Singer-songwriter, producer and poet Rachael Sage has released over 20 albums and EPs of empowered alt-folk-pop on her own label MPress Records since first bursting onto the music scene via Lilith Fair. An outspoken activist on behalf of many causes including LGBTQ+ rights, anti-gun violence and women's health issues, Sage is a self-described cancer thriver with multiple top-charting singles, including her hopeful anthems "Blue Sky Days" and "Bravery On Fire" and her feminist anthem "Sistersong". A 6-time Independent Music Award Winner and John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize recipient, Rachael has shared stages with an eclectic list of artists including Ani DiFranco, Rufus Wainwright, A Great Big World, Beth Hart and Shawn Colvin. Her music has been described by PopMatters as "a hopeful message beneath the undertow of visceral struggle we have collectively experienced over the last few years". Rachael will be sharing songs from her forthcoming album Canopy, out this summer on MPress/Virgin/Universal. For more information, visit rachaelsage.com.

Kristen Ford is a singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist influenced by greats such as Alanis Morrisette, Radiohead and Ani DiFranco. She navigates life as a biracial, queer girl and tours globally in pursuit of the perfect show. Her live performance morphs from unplugged solo acoustic to screaming, electric guitar soloing in front of a rock band to her dynamic one woman band using loops, beatboxing and a healthy case of ADHD to her advantage.
Ford’s Righteous Babe Records debut was produced by Ani DiFranco, mixed by John Driskell Hopkins (Zac Brown Band) and is set to release in 2025. Kristen is endorsed by Gallagher Guitars, K&K pickups & G7th Capos.
Erika June & the Tunes (Pittsburgh, PA) is alt-pop rock with punch and passion, “reminiscent of the 90’s in the very best way.” These songs are what happens with Erika June straps on a guitar to write. Big vocals, little twists, and unvarnished lyrics, plus sick solos from Mike Dugan, sum up to a bad-ass good time!
