Chris Haddox is a Logan, West Virginia born and raised songwriter/singer/multi-instrumentalist who is now based or of Morgantown, West Virginia. He writes and sings his voluminous collection of songs about (to quote him) “religion, firearms, courthouse squares, goats on trampolines, shoes, fiddles, and hurricanes”—whatever catches his eye. He deftly combines humor, sarcasm, and blunt honesty to create songs that are accessible and relatable to a wide variety of audiences.
Jan Gillies grew up in the swamplands of northern Indiana, becoming an oceanographer, sailor, scientist, SCUBA diver, teacher, storyteller and songwriter. Since first picking up a guitar at the age of 14 during the upheavals of the Vietnam War, she uses music to laugh, cry, scream & whisper about all twists and turns life has thrown at her. Developing her initial Travis-picking style in coffeehouses and other venues from the Chicago area and Kangaroo Island, Australia to Miami, Florida and Scotland, she has played in swamps, on shipboard, trains, music festivals, and a wide range of usual and unusual settings. Her performances have been described as both educational and ‘mesmerizing.’ She has won awards in the Mid Atlantic Song Competition and ZETA 4 Miami radio station’s “Search for Sound” competition for new songwriters, and has been a featured artist on Hootenanny Café Radio. Her songs have received radio airplay across the U.S, Canada and several European countries.
