We are self-taught artists who create work inspired by healing, nature, travel, and personal experiences. Growing up, art became a way for us to process emotions, express ourselves, and create spaces that felt meaningful and comforting.

Mary Bue..Nominated for best folk act in the 2005 Providence Phoenix Best Music poll, this singer/pianist has the potential to emotionally sucker-punch you!

Justin Roth.. "Fans of Leo Kottke or Michael Hedges will find themselves right at home with the intricate guitar work...beautifully written lyrics." - San Francisco Art Magazine

"One of the best singer/songwriter/guitarists I've heard in ages...Justin Roth is a flat out talent. Roth rivals a young Willy Porter...His vocal delivery is smooth. His guitar playing is extraordinary." - The Journal Times, Racine, WI

As a self-taught fingerstyle guitarist, Justin---s expressive playing leaves people asking themselves ---how---d he do that?--- Seeing him perform you---d swear there were more instruments on stage. His songwriting style is an artful blend of pop hooks laid on a bed of brilliantly inventive guitar technique that brings to mind Michael Hedges and Billy Mclaughlin. His songs are clever and beautifully hummable at the same time and have been gaining fans in AAA and college radio across the country. With the release of his third solo album ---Shine,--- which was mixed by Ben Wisch (Jonatha Brooke, Patty Larkin), this Minnesota-based singer/songwriter emerges as an extraordinary talent. He has also shared the stage with David Wilcox, Martin Sexton, Ellis Paul, Cheryl Wheeler, John Gorka and Shawn Colvin to name a few.
