Behind the guitar of Sasha Colette lies the purity of an Eastern Kentucky voice rich in heritage, soul and emotion. The delicate blend of her skills on the fretboard and her vocal stylings can only be described as: Honest.

Sasha embraces her Carter County roots while embracing various artists. The result is a style that is Sasha Colette. Appalachian, Bluesy, Folk. Sasha's music and lyrics are real, for real people, about real life, and evoking real emotion.

Luna is a singer/songwriter that combines traditional, rock, and folk music. Through her brother’s association with The Beatnik Cowboys, she met Rob McNurlin. Rob introduced her to folk music such as Bob Dylan and Johnny and June Carter Cash. They later collaborated many times sharing the stage and vocals in Europe as well as the states. This partnership caught the attention of Mickey Fisher and Ritchie Collins who co-wrote the stage production “Something in the Water” which features old time music of Kentucky artists. Luna was asked to sing songs such as “Pretty Saro”, “Blue Moon of Kentucky", and “Coal Miner’s Daughter." Her vocal support has been recorded with Rob McNurlin and Jeff Walburn.

Like Dale Watson, Redd Volkaert, and others carrying the cross for traditional country, Arty Hill remains faithful to country's roots while forging his own distinct songs that blend the old and new. Jackson Shake, I Left Highlandtownâ and Driftin' In, are "SONGS SALTED WITH TEARS AND STEEPED IN THE RICH BREW OF CLASSIC COUNTRY AND WESTERN THAT, IN THE RIGHT HANDS, NEVER LOSES IT POWER." (John Lewis, Baltimore Magazine). Arty's songs have been covered by Austin's TEXAS SAPPHIRES, and one of his bluegrass tunes was recently recorded by the Grammy-nominated KENNY AND AMANDA SMITH BAND.
