Craig Bickhardt is a veteran singer-songwriter whose five-decade career began with his first record deal at age 19. He has released 11 albums on Capitol-Liberty, Warner Brothers, MTM Records, and his own Stone Barn Records. His 2023 release Outpourings reached #2 on the Folk/Americana Chart.

Widely respected for his emotional depth and literary lyricism, Bickhardt has written more than 800 songs. His work has been recorded by Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Alison Krauss, Kathy Mattea, Art Garfunkel, the Judds, and B.B. King. He also wrote and performed the closing theme for the Academy Award–winning film Tender Mercies.

A compelling live performer, Bickhardt is known for his intricate acoustic guitar work and soulful voice. He has appeared at the Grand Ole Opry, Austin City Limits, Mountain Stage, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, and The Bluebird Cafe, and has shared stages with Bruce Springsteen, Judy Collins, Harry Chapin, and Stephen Stills.

“Craig Bickhardt is the American counterpart to Richard Thompson… stylistic, original, creative and daring.” – John Apice, No Depression.

Marc Douglas Berardo is a thought-provoking songwriter as well as a fancy wooden guitar player who uses humor and deft storytelling to rally an audience and lead them into a deep and sometimes spiritual experience. After over 35 years of performing in every conceivable situation and winning awards and recognition for his songs in a boatload of national festivals like Rocky Mountain Folks, Telluride, Kerrville New Folk, Suwanee and Wildflower as well as being voted “best interview and live performance feature” on Sirius/ XM Satellite Radio show The Village, Berardo has established himself as the real deal. A “lifer” that No Depression Magazine called: “sincere, fluid, charming, and above all gripping.”

2025 highlights included Berardo as the subject of a feature story by Jan Tomay in the legendary Ink Magazine, as well as, along with the fiery dobro player Abbie Gardner, a headline appearance at the 40th Tucson Folk Festival in Arizona.  

Berardo’s highly regarded 2024 release “The Beauty of This Now” was recorded in Austin, Texas, and produced by Texas legends Ron Flynt and Walt Wilkins. John Apice of Americana Highways wrote: “There’s a seriousness to Marc’s compositions that’s not apparent in the slew of artists who seem to have a lot of nothing to say in an album’s worth of music…Marc is cut from the same cloth as James Taylor, early Elton John, or maybe Mark Twain…”
