A self-described “tree-hugger that watches NASCAR, and Buddhist with a gun below the seat,” Grant Peeples is known for his axe-sharp socio-political tunes, raucous humor and heart-gigging ballads. He has made nine albums, including 5 records produced by Gurf Morlix, including his latest, Bad Wife (Feb 2020), a collection of songs written by women (Carrie Elkin, Dayna Kurtz, Eliza Gilkyson Caroline Spence, & more)- a tribute to the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote in our country. http://www.grantpeeples.com/
Passim's Iguana Grant recipient and WBUR Tiny Desk finalist Corey Laitman hails currently from the small town of Turners Falls, MA. Their album Seafoam, now released, contains 13 beautifully crafted folk-pop ballads with hushed, spiritual undertones. An empath and lover of strangeness, Corey's music is imbued with longing and a deep tenderness for the human condition. http://coreylaitman.com/
Pi Jacobs plays an “Americana bluesy rock thing”. Her latest release on the Travianna Records label (Feb 21,2020), “Two Truths and a Lie” has been featured on NPR, DittyTV and Americana Radio nationwide. Pi performs with a band, and solo, with a "Stomp Box" that turns her show into a high energy, captivating affair! https://pijacobs.com/
