ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Olivia Barton writes songs that walk the line between unfiltered and refined. With reverence for the craft of songwriting, Barton writes and sings like she speaks: unapologetic, yet approachable, turning crowds into confidants. Having shared stages with Lizzy McAlpine, Madi Diaz, Field Medic, Searows, Annika Bennett, and others, her songs carry what folk music has always carried: emotion, memory, simple truth.

An indie/alternative artist blending folk, gospel, and soul-infused rock, Carter Benjamin’s music is rooted in storytelling, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and belonging. From his upbringing in Grand Cayman and DC to his bold, genre-defying album Black Boys on the Radio Part II, Benjamin reclaims space for voices too often left out of the conversation.

Kieran Rhodes is a piano-driven pop artist and songwriter whose music blends timeless melodies with sharp lyrical storytelling. A Berklee College of Music alum and America’s Got Talent standout, Rhodes gained viral attention with his original song “Disengage” and further recognition when his song “What Got Into You” was featured in Netflix’s Virgin River. He has opened for artists including JP Saxe, Ben Abraham, and Five for Fighting, and performed at major festivals like Boston Calling.
