Jen Sygit and Lindsay Lou
  • Jen is a favorite in the local music scene, and nationally known for her work. What a talent! She plays many instruments with ease. She writes songs with thoughtful lyrics, then sings her heart out with a strong and expressive voice.

  • Lindsay Lou is a young songwriter who packs a powerful but sweet voice, fine instrumentals and artful songwriting. New on the scene, she is not going anywhere... but up.
December 17, Hall and Morgan
Fine instrumentals and haunting vocal harmonies. This duo never fails to satisfy. Folk and folk-influenced pieces. A treasure!
