A fabulous time of discoveries with Sara St John. Sara describes herself as a troubadour and excels at the art of story thru song. Listen carefully for the hooks she weaves into each piece. Well versed from her years in New York, Nashville, and now Seattle -- playing with and experiencing the creative spirit of only the very best from the times and the places she called home.

Magic happens when you least expect it. This is how we came to meet Rylan -- by stepping into a magical moment that he created during his first solo show. We fell head over heals for his sound. We hope you enjoy this unique session with a fast, up and coming singer-songwriter who composes with poetic meaning and heartfelt creative spirit. We are truly blessed to have had this opportunity to showcase Rylan's brilliant and emerging musicianship.
