Americana

Boston and Northwest based band, Trusting Fate is an acoustic group known for creating imaginative, unexpected music.

Multi-instrumentalists Paul Therkelsen (guitar, harmonica, banjo, vocals), Mike O’Brien (mandolin, violin, guitar) and Susanna Doyle (vocals, keyboards, accordion, manditar) spin playful melodies and blend rich 3-part harmonies with crisp lyrics.

Ed Bogusz fills out the bottom with his trusty double bass.

Trusting Fate brings you a straightforward songwriting style and ability to deliver intimate, engaging performances.

Joining the band this year will be members of the emerging Participants group as well as long time friends and kick ass musicians.

Take five people from... Louisiana, Vermont,
Connecticut, Ohio and Sweden.
  Add equal parts of folk, old-fashioned country, with a pinch
of bluegrass and gospel. Put it into a pot of cover tunes from
the last century. Spice with plenty of harmony vocals and add an
original or two.  That's Tail - rootsy, acoustic, and pleasant.

the sound of Eye Witness is straightforward and compelling, encouraging listeners to attend to the dark lyrics delivered with passion

Two dudes. One beard. 14 strings. Jake Swamp and The Pine is a americana/folk duo featuring Drew on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Stu on mandolin (for the mando-win). Influenced by a myriad of musicians ranging from The Grateful Dead to Stan Rogers to Johnny Flynn, the duo has an extensive collection of originals, but also a collection of original interpretations of songs you can sing (or yell) along to. The two met on Craigslist in April 2018 and the rest was history.

A killer lineup of folk all-stars, including: 
Windowsill & Ashtray, the Folked Up folk heroes that cannot be described in words alone
C i d e r d o w n, the mistress of melancholy
Hannah Jay, the social media free songstress
Mike Sim, the rollicking rock god,
And Andy Brink, who has a porch and pays rent and does other stuff good too

Sweet Wednesday’s songs tell wonderful stories, with beauty, humor, and passion. Rock, folk, and americana lovers instantly fall in love with the tunes of these nationally touring troubadours, whose engaging personalities make each listener feel part of a community.

"I didn'’t think musicians made music this addictive anymore... full of the type of imagery that can only be likened to a Joan Baez or Leonard Cohen song——really that rich and magical."
- Nancy Dunham, MTV Partner Ourstage
