Sarah Morris - Sarah Morris has a habit of missing the forest. From the day the Minneapolis based singer-songwriter picked up a guitar, armed with the bone-deep memory of her parents’ well-loved record collection and rooted in the storytelling fire of a Mary Chapin Carpenter tune, she’s been too busy crafting love letters to the details of the trees. Sarah’s endearingly honest, expertly penned songs encourage audiences to pull away from the big picture and get caught up in the magic of our everyday minutia, the rainy day ache in her sunlit voice granting us permission to escape into stories at once hauntingly familiar and uniquely her own.
Nancy Tobiason Kramer - Nancy and her husband Dan deliver a wide variety of music from the classics to the current, hoping to connect with everyone. Music is a way to express and have fun, so be ready to enjoy and sing along. Grateful to share their love of music. Playing and singing a wide variety of genre's, They hope to connect with everyone. Music is with us our whole lives. It brings joy.
