The group 'The Adventures of Annabelle Lyn' is named for an audacious fictional character. The name, 'Annabelle Lyn' is a blend of their three middle names, and this heroine shares some of the trio's own adventures and dreams. This is abundantly clear when one listens to "How it Feels to Be Free."

Laney Sullivan and Jameson Price of Høly River (formerly known as Lobo Marino) have chosen to live intentional lives, focused on wellness and sustainability, and they compose and sing songs that reflect their values.

The Jacksonville band, Snake Blood Remedy, began with singer/songwriter and musician J.D. Cook, yet their roots go back nearly 100 years. These 21^st century musicians were drawn together by the old-time country music of folks such as Hank Williams, Sr. and Ole Belle Reed. It doesn't matter that most of the band's original songs were written in this century — Snake Blood Remedy is a young, new band with deep, old roots.

Engineer, artist, dad, husband.

Alan Mills is all of these things. As an artist, he works in two mediums: film photography and music. Alan has said he, "was raised in a band room," and he therefore grew up with fondness of jazz music. That love of jazz and of the black and white images on the album covers both continue to inspire Alan's art.

Luke grew up surrounded by music. His dad always had music playing, introducing Luke to pop, rock, country, and more. When he was 8, his mom encouraged him to take up the drums and he started learning the guitar at 12.

Now, he plays both piano and guitar, sings, loops with his guitar, and is working on learning both the violin and saxophone.

Acoustic Eidolon: "Acoustic," an instrument without amplification. "Eidolon," an unsubstantial image, a phantom.

Acoustic Eidolon is no phantom. Instead this duo is very real musicians who first played together in 1998 and instantly created magic. Joe Scott plays double-neck guitjo (more on that later), and Hannah Alkire plays cello. Both musicians sing and compose, and together they create a truly magical sound.
