About the songwriters:

Karmina is a pop/rock duo that consists of sisters by Kelly and Kamille Rudisill. The word Karmina means “song” in Latin, and the sisters have produced three LP’s since 2008.

Katie Cole is an Australian born songwriters living in Los Angeles. Influenced by Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, Cole’s sound could be described as an eclectic mix between Sheryl Crow, Marvin Gaye and Janis Joplin, all of whom she covers on a regular basis.

Heros’ Last Mission is a five-member alternative rock group started in Sacramento. The group is influenced by a wide-range of artists: Tom Petty, Rascal Flatts, Arvo Part and Megadeath.

David Luning brings a softer, more acoustic sound to the festival. His melancholy sound is a reflective of young Bob Dylan. Some songs sound as though they were ghostwritten for Beck’s “Sea Change” album, other’s like the were cut from Dylan’s “Blood on the Track’s.”

Greg Lamboy brings more acoustic pop to the festival. He has released a full-lenth, 11-song album album entitled “Every Drop of the Good,” and has lived in New York and Oakland.

 The four-person harmony group Maybe Tuesday are located in San Jose and bring a different melodious sound to the festival.
