twinbabiesCHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS
(www.christopherw.com)
With seven years of nonstop national touring and playing more than 120 shows a year, this New York born, Bucknell University Religious Studies graduate and former Seattle pre-school teacher, has built a faithful following of listeners around the country and independently sold more than 21,000 records, primarily off of the stage. Williams writes songs that are honest and confessional, yet never overbearing, and performs with an appealing mix of intense passion and humor. He is a songwriter and an entertainer, engaging audiences with what the Boston Phoenix calls "lush guitar work, sweet soaring vocals," and sometimes the added percussive vulnerability of a single djembe hand drum.

LISA COTE (and friends)
(www.lisacote.com)
Lisa Cote has been performing in the New England area for over two decades; both alone as well as with various acoustic duos and trios.  She is described as "displaying a wonderfully enchanting and soulful voice.." (by the Manchester Journal Inquirer) and "Whether performing her own original songs or deftly interpreting works from influences including Joni Mitchell, Dar Williams and the Indigo Girls, Lisa's rich, enchanting voice reaches audiences where these songs dwell, soulfully mapped within the heart" (by fellow musician Guy-Michael Grande). Lately, Lisa's performances are billed as "Lisa Cote and Friends" and that's just what they are with the audience members being included in the "friends" part.    Recently her performances with friend Steve Nyren have been noted to be a "musical journey through time and revived memories in everyone there".  Lisa is the founder of the Twin Angel Foundation and their annual benefit the "Twin Angel Folk Fest" has given her the amazing opportunity to perform with such renowned Folk Musicians as Christina Thompson-Lively, Cliff Eberhardt, and Susan Werner.
