Caitlin Canty delivers her songs with a dusky alto and a 1930’s Recording King guitar. Her breakout record Reckless Skyline features an all-star band on twelve songs that veer nimbly between country ballads and straight-up rockers, dark blues and sparsely arranged folk. Produced by Jeffrey Foucault, Reckless Skyline garnered glowing praise from NPR, among others. The San Francisco Chronicle lauded Canty’s, “casually devastating voice and unshakable poise,” and her “easy way with folk, blues and country motifs.”


Both on the road and on her records, Canty creates a sound that harnesses the grit and spark at the very heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct.


A constant collaborator, Canty writes and performs with several bands including Down Like Silver, her ongoing duo with Peter Bradley Adams. Prior to Reckless Skyline, she independently released the full-length Golden Hour, a gently produced and Western-tinged album tracked live in Maine in the winter of 2012. Her song, “Get Up” received a Song of the Year nomination in the International Folk Music Awards, and she is the winner of the 2015 Telluride Troubadour songwriting contest.


Raised in small-town Vermont, the daughter of a school teacher and a house painter, she spent her early years in New York City as a backup singer and performing her own songs at Lower East Side music halls. Caitlin now lives in East Nashville, Tennessee.

In 2011 Lyle released his first EP under the Lyle Brewer Trio entitled Music To My Fears, which includes longtime Boston musicians Dean Casell on bass and Mike Piehl on drums. If nothing else, it's a testament to Brewer's wise-beyond-his-years musicianship that these stalwarts of the local music scene -- guys who have been playing for longer than Lyle has been alive -- don't flinch when asked to back him up on stage or on record. If you love the sound of no-frills, true-blue musicians doing what they were put on this green earth to do, you're sure to dig the trio's Music To My Fears.


Prior to joining the Ryan Montbleau Band in 2011 and starting his trio, Brewer spent two and a half years as the lead guitarist with Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles. Brewer and Borges shared more than a musical bond -- the two were married in 2010 and in the summer of 2011 had their first child, Elliot.


Brewer attended the prestigious New England Conservatory in Boston, studying jazz performance. During that time he made a name for himself as one of the youngest and hungriest guitarists on the Boston music scene, playing by his own estimate, 300 shows a year for one stretch of time. He's dug into it all -- John Scofield and Chet Atkins, Duane Allman and Brad Barr -- from the Conservatory to the Dive Bar, to the main stages of some of the country's finest outdoor music festivals, he's been there.
