About the bands
Louder Than Milk
Louder Than Milk‘s catchy, heartfelt music spans Americana, honky tonk, country, blues and rock. Most of the band’s songs are written by Andy Crowe, Jay Paget and Jeff Todd, who frequently combine for tight three-part harmonies. A sprinkling of original instrumentals, including tunes penned by fiddler Kim Patch, and a few choice covers round out the band’s grooving kaleidoscopic repertoire. The band was born in the Northeast and travels through American back roads. If they’re not back by morning, they must’ve got lost in the night.
The Rozzicats
The Rozzicats play an eclectic mix of older pop, Americana, country classics and Andy Hollinger originals, interspersed with a bit of bluegrass and some Kim-Patch-penned, fiddle-driven instrumentals. The band features Jenn Goldson performing songs by leading female American songwriters, including Nancy Griffith, Kate Wolf, Rhiannon Giddens and Celia Woodsmith.
Creek River 3
Creek River 3 plays a mix of Americana, bluegrass, blues, old-time with some originals, featuring singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kara Kulpa.
Andrew Innes and the Reluctant Ramblers
Andrew Innes and the Reluctant Ramblers plays a mixture of original music and trad country, Americana, early jazz and blues, waltzes and English country dance tunes. Guitar, fiddle, pedal steel and upright bass, and we even throw some musical saw into the mix.
Bookmatch Duo

a range of original, traditional and contemporary instrumental music, including old-time, blues, ragtime, bluegrass, waltzes, contra dance tunes, and English country dance tunes. See our collection of livestream videos. For a clue about the origin of our name, see the background of our photo.
