About BEN SOLLEE:
Kentucky musician and composer Ben Sollee, has been blurring boundaries with his musical style and career for nearly two decades – his latest album, Long Haul (2024) is no exception. Drawing on tonal influences from the American and global south, Sollee’s vocals and unique cello style thread through each track binding seemingly disparate chapters of his journey – the Long Haul.
After his last album in 2017, Sollee took a break from touring to grow his family and deepen community connections in Louisville, KY. Now a father of three, Sollee has leaned into his work as a composer; scoring films such as LAND from director Robin Wright, and Maggie Morre(s), a John Slattery film featuring Tina Fey and Jon Hamm. He also scored the podcast series Unreformed, which was recently nominated for a Peabody Award. Outside of music, Sollee helped launch the non-profit Canopy, which supports Kentucky businesses positively impacting their communities and planet.

About EVA ROSE KING:
Eva Rose King is a Colorado folk artist using rich vocals and acoustic tones to dig deep into memory and vulnerability. Like the clarity of a slow morning, her songs pay homage to the subtle and the beautiful, awakening feelings that had almost slipped away. Eva is currently releasing singles off her upcoming album, After Tale (produced by Courtney Hartman; releasing February 2025). This album carefully examines the feeling of loneliness, with the songs representing words said too late – a postscript of nostalgic musings and love letters. This album evokes the styles of Gillian Welch, Leonard Cohen, and Norah Jones. Eva released On the Other Side, her debut album, in 2021 and Complex Feelings, a folk-jazz-pop EP, in 2023. Eva has warmed the stage for Willie Watson, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Sunny War, and was a finalist in the 2024 Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Competition.
