KANIN & ADDIE
A journey that began with a health crisis
Few might imagine, but a health crisis three years ago served to unite this young musical duo.
Addie attended Kanin’s school and was struggling after a diagnosis of leukemia. Meanwhile, Kanin’s music teacher was fighting his own fight against throat cancer. Wanting to help, Kanin began to sing in her community to raise money for her teacher. She performed all over, wherever anyone would listen, for tips that could help relieve her teacher’s burden as he recovered.
After winning a youth kindness award from the Lansing non-profit e-PIFany, Kanin wanted to give her teacher the funds that came with her award, but he insisted she pay it forward. Kanin donated the money to Addie's family but wanted to make their connection more heartfelt. That Christmas, as Kanin organized 50 carolers to serenade Addie, who was at home and recuperating, a new friendship blossomed.
In that gesture, they both discovered a mutual love of music, with Addie, a budding guitarist who did indeed recover, joining Kanin for a weekly singing session. Soon, “Tuesdays With Addie” became a joyous jam session. It was easy, fun and they loved the same music. Although Kanin would start a full band in 2018, it became clear a year later that her heart was in writing her own music and performing with Addie who had filled in with Kanin acoustically on several gigs.
Both girls love the same music – their own collaboration on an Indie-Americana mix that includes few originals sprinkled in with covers of current and standard tunes. They both enjoy creating new sounds, and with their efforts, they honor the healing – both physical and spiritual – that only music can bring.
A performance from Kanin & Addie is hopeful, inspired and the best of youth sharing their growing talents with their community. Theirs is music born against the backdrop of kindness. They know for sure that we all need each other – and from that investment, there can be amazing returns.
Sit back and enjoy the music and love from this duo -- Kanin & Addie.

Four years ago Carrie Shepard and Lawrence Daversa were brought together by mutual friend and drummer Brian Ferriby who told Carrie that he knew a great guitar player if she wanted to get a band together. Carrie watched some YouTube videos of Lawrence playing in the hard-edged, Rock n' Roll band The Twistin Tarantulas and thought "well I don't see how that's a fit, but ok". It turned out to be more then ok. After the first basement rehearsal at the end of 2012, they were both blown away by how their two very different musical backgrounds blended to make something really unique.
From the time she was 5 years old, Carrie was always jotting down poems in some book or diary or notebook, but it wasn't until after a divorce in 2003 which left her with the sole custody of two kids and one guitar, that she started combining those lyrics with music and writing songs. She would play her songs for friends and family until a friend of hers insisted she perform them onstage in 2008, which she did, and was instantly hooked. After that she happened upon a Honky Tonk Tuesday night at a local bar and was swept off her feet by the music of country legends like Merle Haggard, George Jones and Loretta Lynn and spent the next few years writing music for and performing in traditional country/honky tonk bands.
At the age of 5, Lawrence Daversa wasn’t writing poems, he was walking home with his new vinyl copy of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell. The following year, he brought home another AC/DC album, Back in Black, and his father watched dismayed as he sat at the kitchen table intently writing down the lyrics to “Shook Me All Night Long”. That was it. He was ruined by Rock and Roll. At the age of 17, Lawrence and his guitar got on a plane to Florida and started playing music in clubs and bars, having to sit outside in between sets because he was too young to be there. His guitar took him from to Florida to New Mexico and back to Michigan where he began touring with the Tarantulas and then eventually collided with Shepard.
Since 2012, Shepard and Daversa have put out two full length albums, their 2015 self-titled debut "The Whiskey Charmers" and "The Valley" (April 2017), which included a vinyl release. Mike Morrison of Americana Roots UK says of their new record "Just two albums in to their recording career and I genuinely list the Whiskey Charmers as one of my favourite 21st century bands.” The music blog Country Perspective says of the pair, "Carrie Shepard is a very talented vocalist who could sing pretty much whatever she wants, while Lawrence Daversa dazzles me with his guitar play. It’s makes for a perfect combination. These two were made to make music with each other"
Between day jobs and raising families, Carrie and Lawrence still write, perform, record and tour all over the country. A gig in Nashville will be followed up the next day by an early morning at the office in Michigan to which co-workers say with a puzzled look "You were where last night?" Still touring on their well-received second album "The Valley", they are also road-testing hours of new material on unsuspecting audiences from Michigan to Colorado to Georgia.
Fans often describe The Whiskey Charmers sound as the feeling of riding through the desert with the top down, or the feeling of being in some lonesome smoky bar off the side of an abandoned highway, or music from a Spaghetti Western. Comparisons have been drawn to The Cowboy Junkies, Mark Knopfler, Dick Dale, Chris Isaak, Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. Others call their music Country Noir, Gothic Americana. They may perhaps fall into the Outlaw category in Ameripolitan music, a genre created by the legendary artist Dale Watson.
William P Davis (Former Deputy Director of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville) has a different opinion. He says of the band, “I've heard a lot of good musicians. The Whiskey Charmers remind me of no one - and, to me, that is of the best compliments an act can receive.”

The North Carolines- "Dynamic Acoustic Americana Music" (Caroline Barlow-vocals/ guitar and Kurt Westie-vocals/ mandolin, guitar). I saw Caroline playing a solo gig this past winter and I knew we had a connection. As it turned out we both had played music with Billy Strings about 5 years ago- her as a duo and me as a member of M23 Strings. I convinced her to let me produce her/write songs for her as well as play music together. Things have been going very well as we have been ramping up our Summer performance schedule to great responses and planning to record our first CD this Fall.

Lake Ann Brewing Co.6535 First StLake Ann, MI49650 Map
The Wildwoods are performing at Lake Ann Brewing Co. in Lake Ann, MI on August 14th from 2pm-5pm.
Nebraska natives, The Wildwoods, a duo from Lincoln, NE, bring a pioneering sound to Americana Roots Music. Formed in 2012, The Wildwoods released their first album, “A Little Sweeter” in 2014 and have since released three more albums independently: “Take A Chance” (2016), “Sweet Nostalgia” (2017) and their newest album "Across A Midwest Sky" (2019). The two lead vocalists of the group, Noah and Chloe Gose, also released a Duo EP titled “Birdie and Goose” in late 2017. Following the successful release of their album, “Sweet Nostalgia”, the Wildwoods have opened for touring bands such as Elephant Revival, The Hunts, The Accidentals, The Von Trapps, and Jamie Wyatt. The two lead singers of the group, Noah and Chloe, have also toured nationally throughout Europe, and have performed on the Pantorium Sessions for KHOI Radio and Midwest Review Live. Their music has also graced places such as: Sofar Concerts in St. Louis, Mo. & New York City, Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, and the Nebraska State Fair. They continue to tour regionally throughout the Midwest and Mountain States. The group was nominated in 2016, 2017 & 2018 by the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards as one of the top Americana Folk Bands in the area, and in 2017 as Local Album of the year for their album, “Sweet Nostalgia”. In December 2017, they performed live as part of the Paste Music & Daytrotter Sessions. The Wildwoods also prove to be talented songwriters: in 2019, The Wildwood’s song “Untitled”, made the semi-finals in the International Songwriting competition and “Way of Train” in 2017 along with “Dance with Me” in 2016. Two of their songs also placed in the top 10 of the 2015 Omaha Performing Arts Songwriting Competition. The following is what the media had to say about The Wildwoods: “The Wildwoods know exactly what kind of music they want to make. It’s not often we hear a sound this focused...The voices are very different in timbre and delivery, yet mix perfectly...Bring a friend or go alone; either way, you’ll find yourself reminiscing on the good times and finding peace with the bad ones.” Landon Kuhlmann, Paste Magazine & Daytrotter “The young songwriting tandem of Chloe and Noah Gose harmonize like something out of the Depression Era, fitted with a certain weight yet warmly and triumphantly capable of lifting hearts regardless.” Andrew Stellman, Editor Hear Nebraska Magazine Residing in Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods' Noah Gose (vocals, guitar, harmonica, piano) and Chloe Gose (vocals, violin, mandolin, guitar) discovered their shared love of music shortly after they fell in love back in 2012. The Wildwoods strive to make music that touches the soul & speaks of truth, which will be sure to melt your heart with every performance.

A Brighter Bloom is the culmination of the combined musical journey of Todd Aldrich, Lauren Onica and TJ Rankin. Lauren and Todd started creating music together in 2014 after meeting at a local open mic. Their shared love of harmony quickly turned into a love for one another. TJ joined on bass guitar, rounding out the sound of their duo with his distictive rhythm and style. Writing music together came easily and the three released their first collection of music in 2017 with a self-titled EP. With a new collection of songs set to release in 2019, A Brighter Bloom continues to expand their reach, playing all over their home state of Michigan while never forgetting their Northern Michigan roots.
Todd, Lauren and TJ use a unique combination of percussive layers and soaring harmonies to forge their delicate, yet robust style. They use their blended voices and intruments at hand to create a musical experience that bids you to stomp. A brighter Bloom's songs are heavily influenced by their reflections on their own lives: Who they are, who they used to be, and what each of life's experiences has taught them along the way. A Brighter Bloom invites you to experience their stories through lyrics that speak on a human level. With an undeniable thirst for songs that move, and an entrancing energy that creates an electric live experience, we are A Brighter Bloom.
