Tickets: $25 (fees not included)

Alaina Stacey:
Chicago-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Alaina Stacey has appeared as part of the Americana duo Maybe April alongside Bonnie Raitt, Kris Kristofferson and The Goo Goo Dolls’ Johnny Reznick in a GRAMMY-week performance called A Song Is Born. Their Audiotree video went viral, and they remain one of Audiotree’s top twenty most popular videos.

With Maybe April, dubbed “Americana Group of the Year” two years in a row at the Arkansas Country Music Awards, Alaina has opened for Brandy Clark and Sarah Jarosz, and performed at Pilgrimage Music Festival, Merlefest, SXSW, CMA Fest, and other festivals.

Now working under her own name, Alaina’s solo work fuses her love of ‘90s and early 2000s country with other musical influences, both old and new.

Madeleine Kelson:
Nashville-based Americana artist Madeleine Kelson pulls from a rich tradition of Folk, Country, and Americana, challenging its boundaries as a queer artist to represent the modern world.

Madeleine won the 2017 International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Songwriter Showcase, and in 2018 released her acclaimed solo debut Siren, an introspective EP praised by the press for its genre-defying, sparse style and emotional richness, earning her comparisons to both Amos Lee and Gillian Welch.

In 2022, Madeleine released her debut, self-produced album, While I Was Away, which has gained praise from No Depression and was a finalist in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition.
