Lucy Gray grew up performing on midwest festival stages from age 7 while studying classical & fiddle style violin. Soon she was performing her own original songs leading her to become a 4 time recipient of Missouri University’s COMP award for songwriting and music composition, invitations to speak to and inspire young audiences, repeated radio spins, TV appearances including Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour on PBS and a grant awarded by Heartland Song Network to record her first single, “sixteen & happy” in 2024.

Kristin Hamilton draws from sun-drenched childhood days on ‘Ol MacDonald’s Farm in Savannah, MO where she immersed herself in the wild beauty of nature on the farm and her parents vast collection of 1970s Country, Rock and Gospel records. Her music is folk country tinged with the sweet flavor of bluegrass influenced by her experiences with tragic loss, profound faith, passionate love and the desire to always have a little fun. Kristin’s soul-stirring performances give rise to heartfelt connections with her audience.
