Joan Osborne Joan Osborne is an 8-time Grammy nominee and multi-platinum selling recording artist. A native of Kentucky, she moved to NYC to attend NYU Film School, but dropped out after becoming involved in New York’s downtown music scene. Her 1995 album Relish was a critical and commercial success and spawned the international hit single and video “What If God Was One Of Us“. She directed the video for Relish’s second single St. Teresa and created the artwork for the album’s physical package. She has traveled the U.S. and the world for over twenty-five years performing in clubs, theaters, arenas and stadiums, with her own band and as a featured vocalist. Career highlights include: • Founded her own independent label, Womanly Hips Records, in 1991 • Duets with Luciano Pavarotti, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris, Isaac Hayes and many others • Touring with the post-Jerry Garcia Grateful Dead and with Motown's Funk Brothers • Co-headliner for Lilith Fair tour • Performing for The Dalai Lama at his monastery in Dharmsala, India • Featured artist at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway • Opening for The Who at NY's Madison Square Garden • Producing two critically-acclaimed albums for Americana stalwarts The Holmes Brothers • Performing before a crowd of 100,000 at the Olympic Games in Atlanta • Touring the U.S. as co-headliner with Mavis Staples • Recording and performing with side project band Trigger Hippy, founded by Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman Ms. Osborne’s 10th studio album Trouble and Strife was released in 2020. Ms. Osborne lives in Brooklyn, NY with her daughter and partner. Abby Hamilton If you’ve spent any time exploring Kentucky’s booming folk/rock/country scene, chances are you’ve heard somebody say, “You’ve really got to hear Abby Hamilton.” The Nicholasville singer-songwriter has garnered a reputation as a can’t-miss live performer, opening for acts like Kelsey Waldon, Valley Queen, Arlo McKinley, and Justin Wells, as well as singing at festivals including Master Musicians and On the Rails. With influences ranging from the classic country divas to Bruce Springsteen, she wins over audiences with her clever lyrics and entrancing vocals. Her long-anticipated second EP, “Afraid of the Dark,” is bound to appease Hamilton’s avid fan base, perfectly encapsulating her unique sound that feels just as comfortable in the Appalachian mountains as it does in a whiskey-soaked bar room in the city. She spent months in a hollow in Prestonsburg, Ky., crafting songs that tell stories inspired by true events about hope, home, and young love. It’s a genre-bending folk-rock experience that cements her place as one of the region’s most interesting young songwriters.
