Whether solo, or with a band, Luke Winslow-King offers an original sound that is both rustic and elegant. He delivers energetic and dynamic performances, with his burgundy voice and versatile guitar playing. Known for his slide guitar work and interest in pre-war blues and traditional jazz, Winslow-King’s work consists of an eclectic mix, taking in delta-folk music, classical composition, ragtime, and rock and roll; juxtaposing original songs with those from a bygone era.

With her endlessly soulful voice, richly emotional songwriting, and undeniable style, Mia Borders embodies the spirit of her hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana. She is heralded locally and nationally as one of New Orleans’ best talents. The Times-Picayune described her as “confident and cool,” while USA Today characterized both Borders and her music as “deeply funky.” Her newest release, 2013’s “Quarter-Life Crisis,” showcases Borders’ edgier side in a collection of her most personal songs to date. Offbeat Magazine called it “a record of great music and great intensity.”
