Eric Chapman is a singer-songwriter living in Blacksburg, Virginia. He writes songs because. He draws inspiration from many genres of music, but his songs often coalesce around folk, americana, and punk sounds and sensibilities.  Occasionally you can find him playing with friends under the collective-associative moniker "The Devils You Know."   

Lynn Crossett is a singer-songwriter based in Austin, TX. His latest albums reached the top of the Roots Music Report's Americana Country Album Chart in 2023 and again in 2025. Following the release of his 2025 album, "Autumn to August," he left his academic career as a legal studies professor to embark on a full-time music career and more ambitious touring schedule. Blending elements of folk and Americana, he crafts songs that are both introspective and observational with a genuine passion for the storytelling aspects of the troubadour tradition.
