Samantha Jane
Samantha Jane is a 23 year old Singer-Songwriter from Western New York. She has spent most of her life putting her emotions into original music. “I was gifted my first guitar when I was 8 years old and after learning a few covers I began playing my own songs! I’m so grateful for all the opportunities songwriting has presented me with and even more grateful for the amazing people I have met along the way!” She loves playing her originals out but you may hear her singing country or some 90s favorites!

Evan Anstey
Born and raised in Western New York, Evan Anstey’s alt-folk sound draws inspiration ranging from classic artists like Flatt & Scruggs to the progressive bluegrass of Nickel Creek and modern folk stylings of Aoife O’Donovan, John Paul White and Declan O’Rourke.
Evan began playing violin at age 8 before later picking up other stringed instruments such as guitar, mandolin and electric bass. Songwriting became a hobby of his in high school, when some of the compositions heard on his 2016 debut “Recent Time – EP” were born.
Since then, Evan has released 2018’s “We Will Be At Peace,” 2020’s collaboration with friend James Robert Kibby, titled “The Weekend Preacher,” and the 2021 EP “Alternates I.”
Jonah Krull
The “Guitar For Dummies” book lead the way for Jonah’s love of guitar. Soon after, Jonah attended Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan as a commercial music guitar major.
Jonah’s music is self defined as “honest lyrics, funky guitar, catchy beats and roaring vocals. Redefining folk-rock using blues and pop est. 2017.” Have a listen! https://soundcloud.com/jonah-krull.
