Cole Ritter is a Nashville-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose sound blends gritty country, bluegrass, blues, and surf-western music. Best known for his appearance on season 20 of American Idol, where he was famously dubbed “the Michael Bublé of the guitar.” Cole has spent the last 20 years relentlessly honing his craft with national touring acts and performing at venues including the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium and Red Rocks. In January 2026 he released his debut solo EP.
Ashlee Watkins & Andrew Small make music from a time when old-time, bluegrass, and country shared the same stage. Shifting between fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and guitars, they bring enduring classics and original songs to life with close harmony singing that has moved audiences around the world. They are regulars at Southwest Virginia’s fiddlers’ conventions — earning top prizes in band and individual contests at Galax, Mount Airy, and the Appalachian String Band Festival in Clifftop, WV.
Radford native Addie Levy has emerged as a true multi-talent in the world of music, captivating audiences with her mandolin, voice, songwriting, and fiddling skills. By age 10, she had already embarked on her musical journey, guided by local mentors who imparted the art of Appalachian Old Time, Gospel, and Bluegrass music to her eager spirit. As the years unfurled, she masterfully added guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and upright bass to her arsenal, solidifying her status as a prodigious utility musician. As she enters her 23nd year, Addie continues to tread a path that resonates with tradition while fostering evolution. In 2024, Addie joined in with The Brothers Comatose, an internationally touring bluegrass band from California. In 2025 they released their first album with Addie, titled “Golden Grass” featuring her on mandolin, harmonies, and singing her own song “Blue Mountain.”
With roots in the Mississippi Delta, Chicago, and the Piedmont of Virginia, Richmond-based guitarist and songwriter Justin Golden’s origins are deeply vested in the blues. First picking up the guitar at age 19, Golden did what came naturally and let the music flow through him. With an extremely diverse musical palette, Golden aims to bring some new ideas to traditional blues forms. In addition to his work as a recording and performing artist, Golden maintains a busy teaching schedule and works with the non-profit The Rhapsody Project to provide community enrichment through anti-racist cultural heritage programs.
