Rory Lynch
Rory Lynch is a singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer in Santa Cruz, CA. He migrated to the West Coast after a stint in NYC, headlining shows at venues like The Bitter End and Pianos. His decision to move inspired a new collection of songs showcasing classic genres like country, jazz, and pop while blending in traditional Americana themes. Rory’s smooth, deep croon harkens back to the first days of Country Folk and fits nicely next to modern artists like Orville Peck and Sturgill Simpson. Recently, he has been recording at Wind River Studios with plans to release his debut full-length album in Spring 2022.

Pruney and the Dude
Pruney (Thomas Burks) and the Dude (Stephen Pavlik) have been making music together for over a year. Pruney and the Dude play various musical styles, all based on their combined history. Pruney comes from West Texas, so he leans a little on the countryside, yet he grew up listening to the rock music of the 60s, 70s, and beyond. The Dude was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa., and has been influenced by just about every musical genre, including classical and jazz. Together, they have a very eclectic portfolio of music from other artists and their compositions.
