Julia Coler

Julia Coler is a passionate music teacher and professional saxophonist with a deep love for folk music. With a background in music education and a master's degree in saxophone performance, Julia brings a unique perspective to her performances and compositions. Despite only recently sharing her original music, Julia is excited to release her first single this spring. Whether teaching students or performing, Julia's dedication to music shines through.

Martin, Miller & Myers

‘Buffalo’ Bob Martin (vocals, guitar, bass) has been performing in the area for years and has helped organize many festivals throughout the area. Mike Miller (vocals, bass, guitar) has just released a CD of wonderful music called ‘In A Hard Back Cover’ — make sure to get a copy!! Larry Myers is a seasoned multi-instrumentalist (guitar, vocals, keyboards, bass, banjo). Martin, Miller & Myers will be performing their original songs.

Matthew Ward & Sharon Sacks

Matthew Ward has a deep repertoire of songs from traditional to contemporary, many of which he learned growing up in a musically rich American-Irish household. Likewise, he has a vast store of traditional Irish tunes on tenor banjo, tin whistle, guitar and harmonica. Sharon Sacks's music spans across folk and contemporary songs, guitar and piano, old-time claw-hammer banjo, Irish fiddle in the Sliabh Luachra style, and beyond. Playing together, these two lifelong musicians capture all the fun and spontaneity of the Irish music tradition.

Matt Miskie

Matt Miskie has been on the road sharing stories and songs for the better part of 40 years. A self-taught musician and singer/songwriter, he sings of home and history, family, adventure, love and life.
