Sara Thomsen"Sara Thomsen has created a recording that is subtly captivating and seductive in its fragility. 'Everything Changes' is a personal record that magnetically pulls you in. Some artists write big, bold anthems that can overwhelm a listener. This record quietly beckons," writes John Ziegler in the Duluth News Tribune review of the album. "Enter this world to find a woman daring to go into those vulnerable, dark places that we all like to keep hidden. Thomsen does it with courage, eloquence and dignity, while translating the contents of her soul into musical form. She infuses these songs with the same unostentatious love and warmth that she generates in live performances."

Meg HutchinsonKris DelmhorstTwo of the best of the next generation of female folksingers in one night! Boston-based singer/songwriter Meg Hutchinson's makes her Red House debut with Come Up Full! At only 29, Meg has already won numerous songwriting awards in the United States, Ireland, and the UK, including renowned competitions at Merlefest, Mountain Stage New Song Folk Festival and Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. With a poet's sensibility, her songs are laced with a weathered but unselfconscious optimism, a love of language and of the natural world, while her warm alto exudes assurance that we have a universal ability to overcome life's most trying times. One of the great voices of the next generation of acoustic musicians.
