The musicians

Sam Steffen is a Boise-based singer-songwriter. Originally from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Steffen grew up listening to and playing folk music. After graduating from college, he began writing songs and volunteering at Godfrey Daniels, a local folk club, where he had the opportunity to hone his craft with some of the local best. With more than 15 full-length albums containing over 140 songs available to stream and download, Steffen has been writing songs for over a decade and has a vast arsenal of original music to show for it. His songs have been featured in radio shows, podcasts, academic lectures, political protests, worship services, bars, restaurants, coffeehouses, concert venues, festivals, street corners, weddings, funerals and living rooms. He currently lives in Boise with his wife and dog.

Michaela French writes and performs guitar and rhythm-driven melodic songs “in a unique blend of ‘Old-world meets American rock’ style flavored portions” that cover a range of poetic musings that navigate the tides of life.

Elwood has always been inspired by the serenity and sheer power of Mother Nature — the trickle of a stream, the roar of a thundercloud, the pure silence of a meadow lit by the coming of the sun. Elwood has shared the stage with bands such as Simon Tucker, Tim Snider, Michael Kirkpatrick, Kory Quinn, Left Coast Country, David Henry and many more.
