Lyle de Vitry plays soft and sensitive folk music heavily inspired by nature, love, and the cycle of life.
Much like life itself, his music comes in cycles. With his intricate, ambient fingerpicking guitar style and suede-soft baritone voice, de Vitry mesmerizes audiences into meditative serenity. Immersed in rich and nuanced harmonic composition, listeners are gently drawn into the here and now. Effortlessly moving between unity and dissonance, voice and instrumentation, rhythm and melody, de Vitry seamlessly integrates the comfort of folk music with the spine-shivering emotional release and intentionality of classical compositions. In so doing, he manages to create a sound as dynamic and honest as the ocean’s eternally flowing tides or the planet’s ever-changing seasons.

Chris Lippincott is a multi-instrumental Nashville composer, producer, and touring artist originally from Tupelo, Mississippi, claiming New Orleans as a second home. He makes instrumental music, striving to write melodies that narrate stories of ascent, hope, and the human struggle, amidst a dark sonic landscape… a genre-blurring journey of emotion combining synthetic textures, organic instrumentation, and the human voice.
Trippers & Askers is the folk / spiritual jazz project of musician, sound artist, educator and researcher Jay Hammond. The group's latest album Acorn takes inspiration from Octavia Butler's immersive and frighteningly prescient novel Parable of the Sower. As an intertextual work, Acorn brings together a wide array of collaborators that include members of Wye Oak, Califone, former Sun Ra member Ken Moshesh and comic artist John Jennings to explore the book's narrative as it pertains to the very real political and emotional challenges of the present. The album was called "a shimmering homage to nature" by The Guardian.
