Abby Litman
Abby Litman’s music flows through time and pays respect to tradition and contemporary songwriting simultaneously. You can hear the backdrop of Abby’s adopted hometown, Los Angeles, and its storied folklore that come from the music through the Laurel Canyon sound of Joni Mitchell, Judee Sill and many others. She is a graduate of the Thornton School of Music and her 2024 release is called Steady, an album collection of elegantly turned California pop songs.
Rory Lynch
Rory Lynch is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer based in Santa Cruz, CA. Originally from the east coast, he migrated to the west coast after a stint in NYC headlining shows at venues like The Bitter End and Pianos. His decision to move provided inspiration for a new collection of songs that showcase classic genres like country, jazz, and pop while blending in classic Americana themes. His debut full length album ‘“Sittin’ On The Well” was released in the Fall of 2022.
Jayne Williams
Jayne Williams is a songwriter, singer, mandolin enthusiast, and writer of things amusing and profound. Jayne’s songs are about, in no particular order, love, turtles, mid-life crises, history, odd mind-riffs on what-ifs, and things as yet unimagined. She plays mostly mandolin and sings her own and other’s songs with a whiskey-ish alto voice. You’ll find her playing various venues around the Bay Area as a member of the Dirt Rakers.
