Valev Laube is a contemporary folk musician who primarily performs his original music in the United States and Europe. Born in Estonia, Northern Europe, he has mastered both classical music and the folk music traditions of Estonia, Finland, and Sweden. Beyond his classical music education at various institutions, Laube's participation in folk music workshops, youth exchange projects, and international music festivals has inspired him to compose and record many of his well-known tunes. Through his performances and involvement in various projects, this young artist has drawn inspiration from the music of Scandinavia, Estonia, Finland, Russia, Poland, England, and France.

“Veja” comes from Pazin (Croatia). It’s focused on researching Istrian traditional folk music and performing the same in more modern arrangements by using various traditional instruments from all over the world.

Folkroom Records is a boutique digital record label run by musician and producer Ben Walker and by writer/promoter Stephen Thomas.

SoFie (met een grote F) wordt al op jonge leeftijd gebeten door de muziekmicrobe. Haar muzikale carrière start ze op de viool maar al snel komen daar andere instrumenten bij. Op haar veertiende begint ze eigen songs te schrijven waarvoor ze haar inspiratie haalt uit reizen en ontmoetingen, uit oude en nieuw verhalen en uit Russells theepot. Als muzikale duizendpoot speelde ze onder andere in een strijkersensemble, een coverband, een fanfare en een folkband/bluegrasband. Onder de naam SoFie brengt ze haar eigen Nederlandstalig werk. Intieme optredens zijn haar habitat en daarin begeleidt ze zichzelf op piano of gitaar. Sinds 2016 wordt ze bijgestaan door haar broer Maarten op drums en haar neef Jolan op (bas)gitaar.
