Scott Sean White

Scott Sean White is a dedicated singer/songwriter and an artist that exudes emotion. His music is borne from real life experience, complete with the hopes, heartaches and happenstance that define that journey and the revelations that occur along the way.

Scott's success as a writer is firmly established. Cody Johnson recorded two of his songs on his Human album, "God Bless the Boy" and "Made a Home," the latter of which was written with both Cody and their mutual friend Jesse Raub, Jr. Cody also recently recorded another song of Scott's called "Over Missing You" for an upcoming album and he's also been playing it as an encore song at several of his concerts this year.

Carol Markstrom

with Jim Jones

We'll be celebrating the release of SEEKERS, her latest CD

Seekers is an album of 12 original songs, all on aspects of Native American history and culture. It includes earlier songs, some re-recorded, plus new songs. Many talented musicians contributed to the album, including Native American artists and co-writers. Carol celebrates this release with lead engineer and co-producer, Merel Bregante.

Audiences from across the U.S. to the far north of Alaska and to Europe have enjoyed Carol's clear, emotion-filled vocals and songs that transport across places, times, and people. She has received awards from the Red Carpet Award Show in Europe, the Academy of Western Artists, the Rural Roots Music Commission, Spirit Wind Records, and beyond. Her songs have been in films and are played by DJs worldwide.

Jim Jones is a Western/Folk Singer/Songwriter, an author and a native Texan who lives in New Mexico. He was the International Western Music Association's 2014 Male Performer of the Year and winner of that organization's 2019 Song of the Year, along with the Academy of Western Artists 2016 Western Song of the Year and the Western Writers of America 2013, 2017 and 2021 Spur Awards for Best Western Song and most recently, a winner of the 2022 Western Heritage Wrangler Award for Outstanding Original Western Composition.

Helene Cronin

Texas-bred artist Helene Cronin describes herself as a story-singer. She is driven by a desire to share her life through stories that resonate with genuine emotion, and more than a little imagination. She doesn't mind if, in their wake, her songs impart lessons that her listeners can absorb into their own lives.

For Helene, cultivating connection with her listeners is of supreme importance especially in these divisive times. She recalls meeting a woman after a house concert, who told her through tears, "Listening to you and your songs makes me want to be a better person." Helene reflects, "I can't think of a better reason to keep doing what I do. And to keep believing there's a higher purpose for me writing one more song that only a few people may ever hear. Sometimes my songs remind me that I need to do better too."

A 2018 New Folk Winner at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival, Helene's style is a merger between the raw roots of Americana and the polished song-craft of Nashville's Country. Never setting out to be a "star", songwriting brought her to the stage. Audiences are drawn to her vulnerability and presence. Like other more well-known troubadours, she possesses a voice as much a character as the ones that inhabit her songs.

Helene is currently prepping a brand new full-length record called Maybe New Mexico, due in March 2025, which showcases her writing over the last few years. It promises to bring her the wider attention she so decidedly deserves.
