Tamra Engle is an award-winning singer songwriter who's latest release The Blonde Flame Session was on the nominating ballot for the 50th annual Grammy Awards for Best contemporary folk album. Her sound has the rock sensibilities of Fleetwood Mac and the folk edge of early Neil Young. With a career in music spanning more than twenty-five years, this engaging acoustic performer has worked as a studio musician in Los Angeles and toured the country tirelessly. She has had songs placed in television movies, and nationally aired commercials; and now is your chance to catch her live.

Savannah Jo Lack has been playing violin since the age of four and finally made it into a professional orchestra. Then she quit. She traded her classical chops for a guitar, banjolin and a whole swag of stories then hit the road playing in the darkest, dingiest venues across Australia and the U.S. Splitting her time between San Francisco and Brisbane, Savannah has played violin for a crazy range of artists, from Women In Docs to Jackie Marshall to Alanis Morissette. Somewhere out there on a long, dusty stretch of road, with no mobile reception and no-one to talk her out of it, Savannah decided it was time to record her own tunes. Knitting Songs is the result. Combining lush string looping, storytelling, sweet banjolin and just enough grit to keep it all real, her songs span the wide ravine between classical and alt Americana.
