Singer/songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, "Make It Me," which has gained over 4 million listeners on Spotify alone.

As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country. His forthcoming album, Memory Mountain, will release this summer.

Thom Jurek at All Music said it best: "Only Gram Parsons' term 'Cosmic American Music' begins to touch her mercurial, changeling roots aesthetic ... Shannon McNally is a Zen-like, post-Beat song poet." For those who have followed McNally's nearly twenty-year career, the thing that most sticks with the listener about her is the timeless effortlessness that she brings to all she does. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written, recorded and toured, McNally continues to turn out great music that defies blatant genre-fication. 

At home across the American (Americana) music spectrum, the Grammy nominee, whose live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks, writes as well as she interprets the songs of others. She has a top-tier musicality to her craft, a soul-stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the heartstrings, and a troubadour's wanderlust; not to mention, she is also an excellent electric guitar player.

Isaac Aragón is an award winning singer/songwriter who hails from the high country of Northern New Mexico. His musical project “The Healing” is a super-group comprised of fellow artists he’s met along his musical journey. 

Deeply rooted in the traditions of Soul and R&B music, Isaac has received great acclaim for his smooth, soulful vocals and prolific songwriting. Like many of his musical heroes before him (Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder), Isaac uses feel-good grooves to support lyrics with a message, often addressing a myriad of social and political issues. His latest release, “Brown", was awarded the Best Rhythm and Blues Song at the 2023 New Mexico Music Awards. Prior releases “Love Bless America”, “We the People”, and “All I Got” all reached the top of the UK Soul Charts.
