Marlyce (Martens) Gundy and Sharon (Sawatsky) Schermbrucker began singing classical and folk duets in their teens. After a long hiatus, they reunited to form the chamber group Beauty in the Blends, which has performed across the U.S. and Canada. Meanwhile, Marlyce married Jeff Gundy, and they played and sang folk music as a duo.
As the folk trio Rendezvous, Marlyce, Sharon, and Jeff now bring their close harmonies to tunes by Kate Wolf, the Wailin Jennys, Dave Carter, Old Crow Medicine Show, and others, with all three on vocals and Jeff on 6- and 12-string guitar.

The New Johnsons |
| Erin Johnson and Hannah Johnson play the music that has been living in the hills of Virginia for centuries. Though Erin and Hannah have only been living in these hills for most of their twenty one and twenty year lives, they are totally in love with the old time Appalachian music that they play. The two Keezletown natives have made their faces known around Harrisonburg by busking on the streets and playing at The Little Grill Collective, a local worker-owned restaurant. Erin | |

Those Rowdy Corinthians |
| http://www.myspace.com/thoserowdycorinthians | |
| "Those Rowdy Corinthians" (Sam Adams and Josh Compton) share their love for their roots, hymns, old-timey songs, and storytelling. Influenced by their Appalachian ancestors, they sing songs about trains, ships, love (lost or not), spiders, losing, running away, death, peace, pain, life, the wind, and God. They tell stories of thieves, disciples, and themselves as they explore their deep love for music and strive to keep the music of their ancestors alive. Singing is loving. | |

fairly minimal and sometimes ethereal soul indebted rock (or was that folk) music that floats between personal rumination and political critique

Tim Shue |
Tim Shue comes to us from Kidron, Ohio, where he is director of music at Central Christian High School. At home on the guitar, fiddle, and other folk instruments, Tim performs unique arrangements of hymns and original songs. Inspired to by topics like his native Kansas, tornadoes, grandma, church life, to his favorite hobby of birding, Tim's songs are driven by stories, meaning, and connection. |

Trent Wagler & the Steel Wheels |
| http://www.trentwagler.com/ | |
Trent Wagler & the Steel Wheels remind me of something I've never heard before. Acoustic String Band and solitary soul performance, bounding fiddle tunes, and deep lyrical landscapes. No wonder John Bright called him "an americana songmaster." |

Wendy Chappell-Dick |
| http://www.mennofolksonggirl.com/ | |
| For Wendy, making music is thoroughly woven into relationships. Compared by some to Kate Wolf for this combination of friendship, folk style and heartfelt melody, Wendy chooses her songs like quilt squares, her music partners gathered round the table for so much more than music. Her tools are a cello, guitar, dulcimer, hymnal, and a stock of over 1000 tunes by memory. Wendy calls herself an evangelist, an activist and an enthusiast of music that comes from the cradle of the Mennonite church. Her music is at home at protests, coffeehouses, living rooms, churches, woods and cabins. She is active in all genres especially including children's, celtic, classical, choral, a capella, historical folk, and 80s rock and roll. |
