Maevyn Stone
Harpist and songwriter Maevyn Stone’s musical style is a bubbling cauldron of silver strings and lush harmonies, stirred with her siren’s call and folk melodies. Maevyn is a full-time artist and musician in East-Central Indiana.
She loves the excitement and vibrancy of playing at festivals. She has performed as a featured artist at several festivals including Starwood, World of Faeries Festival, Pagan Spirit Gathering, Summertown Drum & Dance Festival, Chrysalis Moon, Prometheus Gathering, and Richmond’s own 4th Street Fair.

Craig & Aaron
You might know Craig Wynne from his 10+ years co-hosting Richmond’s longest running open mic at E Street Pub, or from any one of the many bands he and Aaron have performed with over the years, including Blackthorn’s Bards, The Years, and The Deep End.
Illustrious multi-instrumentalist Aaron Nell has performed with a miles-long list of bands, including the ones listed above in addition to Tin Cup, The Lucky Devils, Bigfoot Yancey, and Achilles Tenderloin.

Joe Waters
Joe Waters grew up writing songs and playing the blues. He picked up a harmonica at age 5 and didn’t look back until he took first prize at both the 2022 Telluride Blues Challenge and the 2024 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.
Joe’s 2024 release, In The Hot Seat, explores Blues, Funk, Folk, and Americana music. He also appears on 4 Troubled Waters releases with his dad, Jack Waters.

Anna Marie
From her 2020 TEDx Dayton talk about writing 90 songs in 90 days, to her 2025 1st Place victory in the solo category at Dayton’s Battle of the Bands, Anna Marie has enchanted the Gem City’s music scene with her refreshing voice and bouncy, baritone ukulele picking style.

Gus Moon
Gus Moon has captivated Indiana audiences with his smooth musical style and thoughtful lyrics for years. Appearing solo, as a duo with Dennis Furr or a full Gus Moon ensemble, or with the band Trollkiller, he always delivers a warming musical experience.
Perhaps Patrick Barcum puts it best. “As true to himself as Gus Moon can seem, when pick hits string and he pulls that first lyric up from his gut, he transforms. A Gus Moon show is as much a séance as it is a musical experience, as he melds personal experience, troubled characters, and often more troubling narratives into many of his songs. He becomes the persona of the songs, like an actor might embody a role. It’s powerful. His mouth is a channel where several voices erupt, recalling the brokenness of their bad loves and the triumphs of their picking up the shards.
Other songs are much more topically bright, but there’s always some sort of balance in his songs between the darkness and the light. A balance reflected in his voice. Just enough polish to know it’s been taken care of; just enough scratch to know it’s seen its share of heartache.”

Sarah Asher
Cincinnati-based singer-songwriter Sarah Asher’s unique voice and introspective folk ballads travel the winding paths of heartache and hope. Her evocative lyrics explore renewal, the quiet resilience of nature, and the faith to begin again. Asher crafts songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Rooted in the folk traditions of Ohio and Kentucky, her music weaves raw emotion with timeless storytelling, creating an intimate connection with listeners.
