Guthrie’s solid bass lines holds down the bottom and he usually takes out the trash and sweeps the floor. |

Jim Portillo
Singer-Songwriter
Music has always been a part of my life, both when I was growing up and certainly now as an adult. There’s not a time I can remember when music hasn’t been a part of who I am. And though I may be just starting out as a performer, I’m certainly not a stranger to what is called Folk, Country, Bluegrass, and any other genre that fits into Americana music. |

Laurie Katherine Carlsson
Singer-Songwriter
"I can't recall any sort of epiphany where I realized that music was my calling." Laurie Katherine Carlsson didn't start playing guitar until she was 21. "It sucked me in slowly. I picked up a guitar and learned to play an Indigo Girls song. I wrote some poetry and set it to music. I made the decision to go to music school - Berklee College of Music. I booked my first gig and scrambled to write more songs to fill out the set. I put out a record. I searched for bandmates, And one morning I woke up and knew that music was it for me."
