Opening the evening was the husband-and-wife duo Terrier, featuring Ben Morrison of The Brothers Comatose and Erika Tietjen of T Sisters. Their set included a mix of new original compositions, songs from Ben's projects, the familiar Come to Me from the T Sisters' repertoire, a cover of Fade Into You by Nashville Cast, and a stirring finale with Led Zeppelin's Going to California. Terrier's performance was outstanding, with Ben and Erika's voices blending effortlessly. Here's hoping they record and release all these new songs soon!

After the break, the folk trio The Wildwoods from Nebraska took the stage. Noah Gose on guitar, his wife Chloe on violin, and Andy Vaggalis on double bass delivered a set of songs from their forthcoming album, alongside selections from their previous release, Foxfield Saint John. The band's exceptional songwriting was complemented by flawless vocal harmonies and the rich sound of their acoustic instruments. Their playful and humorous banter between songs added an extra layer of charm to the performance. The set also featured several well-chosen covers, including Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Tom Waits' Come On Up to the House, and Gillian Welch's Hard Times. It was a fantastic concert in Sebastopol — an evening filled with great songs and unforgettable music!
