Touring since 2016, Goldpine has been lessening the gap between music and the audience by disclosing their stories behind the lyrics at every venue along the way. From festivals like 30A Songwriting Festival and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, to listening rooms throughout the United States, Ben and Kassie have been offering their own brand of raw Americana to audiences large and small. Recent winners of the 2022 Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest at the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival, and finalists in the Kerrville Folk Fest 2021 New Folk Competition, the duo's bold harmonies are clearly a channel for their highly charged songwriting. Presented the “Discovery Award” in 2018 by acclaimed music critic Robert K. Oermann (Music Row Magazine), Ben and Kassie declared performance as their love-share to the world, and since then, have maintained the love and commitment they put into their shows.

The Country Duo is Kansas City's Kasey Rausch and Marco Pascolini. Armed with acoustic and electric guitars, a pedal steel, and a passion for good ol' country music, you'll hear them play Rausch's original tunes as well as the classics from Patsy to Merle, Gram to Emmylou. Formed in 2015, the duo has played everywhere from The Station Inn in Nashville, TN, to the Mid-Coast Takeover in Austin, TX. Their debut EP was recorded live by invitation at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, and was filmed for the Sun Studio Sessions television show that aired across the US and Canada on PBS. No Depression called Rausch’s vocals “tender and intuitive” and claimed Pascolini’s guitar playing “raises the stakes for everybody.” They have shared bills with Grammy winner Roland White, Ray Bonneville, Tish Hinojosa, William Elliot Whitmore, The Elders and many more.
