Laurie Blue aka Laurie Handman Mangold is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and flutist. She composes and records original music, hosts open mics, and performs a wide variety of acoustic rock songs at breweries, wineries, bars, restaurants, cafes, markets, private parties, festivals, and community events.

Since permanently leaving his corporate environmental engineering career in 1996, award-winning folk and Americana artist Andrew McKnight's musical journey has traced nearly a million miles of blue highways, and earned him a wealth of critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans for his captivating performances and seven recordings. He usually tours solo, but also performs frequently with founding Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member Les Thompson fronting their genre-bending quartet Beyond Borders.

McKnight writes, sings and speaks eloquently of the struggles and successes of rural America, weaving his masterfully crafted songs, humorous stories and poetic drama into a musical soundscape sketched with shades of Appalachia, tasteful slide and jazzy blues, feisty anthems, and rustic folk.
