Throughout a career that now spans almost four decades, Juno and Canadian Folk Music Award winner James Keelaghan has created a repertoire of incalculable importance — a unique body of work, either inspired by or drawn from the folk tradition. He has released ten solo albums flush with enduring lyrical relevance. Many of the lyrics in his songs display a concern about social problems and justice in society. Eminent Rolling Stone critic Dave Marsh described Keelaghan as “Canada’s finest songwriter.”

Born and raised in Gloucester, MA, Reese Fulmer has quickly made a name for himself in the Capital Region of New York, as a sensitive songwriter and engaging performer. His songs tell a different story, with a clear eye, poetic touch, and unique imagination.
