Established in the Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra’s set explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, three part harmonies and innovative songwriting. The trio captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives, Teddy (he/him), Manoa (he/him), and Sasha (they/them), often described as a distant cousin of the progressive folk band, Punch Brothers, mixed with elements of Oliver Wood or the Avett Brothers. Palmyra’s songs are intimate and contemplative, with arrangements that allow them to create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. The trio's sound is a nod to Appalachia and Americana, apparent through their stirring craftsmanship and dedication to a folk-driven, innovative experience throughout each unique live performance.

Palmyra has supported Watchhouse, Illiterate Light and Mipso on the road and had the honor to play the historic Newport Folk Festival and Floydfest where they were named the “On The Rise” competition winner in ’22. They will be playing Red Wing Roots, Bristol Rhythm and Roots, Americanafest and returning to Newport in the summer of 2023. Palmyra is working on their first full length LP. Catch them live on the east coast!

Cathy Jane is known as a one-woman band with honest and heart-felt originals. The acoustic folk singer-songwriter living in coastal Delaware blends a love of American folk and early country influence with soothing vocals, raw guitar and percussion using a suitcase kick drum.

Growing up on a backroad in rural southwestern Pennsylvania  in a place called Scrubgrass Hollow listening to her parents band playing country, folk and gospel music she naturally gravitated to this style while teaching herself to play guitar in her 50's.

It was at church that Cathy Jane found her voice and then helped form two gospel bands in which she sang background and played percussion. Over the course of a decade she traveled to third world countries and Puerto Rico as part of a music ministry. It wasn't until age 58 that Cathy Jane stepped out on her own as a solo artist, writing and performing her originals. In 2018 Cathy Jane released her debut EP titled Back Home. Now at age 63 Cathy Jane is still hard at work writing and performing.

In 2020 Cathy Jane was ready to head back into the studio to record a full length original album but with COVID-19 restrictions stopping her she decided to learn how to record herself at home. In the wake of the pandemic Cathy Jane recorded and released her first single titled Run For Cover then in 2022 released her second single titled This River which was recorded and produced by Rich Johnson.

Cathy Jane is currently working on her third single release and a full length album.
