Bill Huston https://billhuston.com/
“Huston is a storyteller.” — PopMatters
With a songwriting style marked by vivid imagery and honest stories, Bill Huston has been performing throughout Colorado and beyond for many years. Along with Monica Marie, Bill was half of the powerhouse songwriting partnership (and lead guitarist) of Monocle Band during the 2010’s. Influenced by greats - from John Prine to Townes Van Zandt to Conor Oberst - Bill's songs remain true to classic roots but find an original life through the unique poetic lens and voice of this contemporary troubadour
“A man with a keen way around a lyric.” — Nashville Blues Society
Monica Marie LaBonte monicamariemusic.com
From a wide-eyed tike delicately pressing the keys of her mother’s upright piano to a seasoned artist taking various stages across the country, Monica Marie LaBonte has always been guided by song.With the sharp ability to craft tracks that speak to the fragility and wonder of life, the crystalline vocalist continues to attract listeners with her stirring blend of folk and country. At times, her lyrics come across as wise whisperings from a dear friend. At others, they hold all the vulnerability and transparency of raw confessions. A keen observer, LaBonte bears witness to life’s magic and heartache and artfully weaves the intricacies of the human condition into tunes that possess undeniable intimacy, grace and grit.In her over 10-year career, the Colorado native has played hundreds of venues, including the historic Gold Hill Inn and Planet Bluegrass. Whether belting out ballads in a small listening room or playing to tens of thousands at an open-air venue, she brings a palpable authenticity to each gig.Known for her stint in mystic-Americana band Monocle, her stellar musicianship and gift for commanding a stage shines just as bright in her solo work.Armed with an acoustic and her truth, it’s clear LaBonte is pursuing her art for all the right reasons. Although her creative pursuits are guided by pure passion, LaBonte hasn’t escaped critical praise and success. A finalist In the 2018 Songwriter Showcase, at Rocky Mountain Folks Fest in Lyons, Colo., she continues to impress with her art.A natural-born wordsmith — in the vein of Joni Mitchell and Alison Krauss — it’s easy to see why the songstress has packed coffeehouses, held her own on the lineup at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and been hailed as having “a voice I trust” by fellow musician Daniel Rodriguez (founding member of Elephant Revival).Powerful, yet understated — poetic, yet real — LaBonte remains one to watch.
