Veteran singer-songwriter Lisa Bastoni has a natural way with words and melody that stand her out from the crowd. Her songs often reflect her personal journey through life’s challenges and rewards. She has won multiple awards including the 2019 Kerrville New Folk Award. Lisa will appear with Sean Staples, a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and mainstay of the Boston-are folk scene.

Cloudbelly is the moniker of singer-songwriter Corey Laitman and their collaborator, Sam Perry.  Among the newest members of the Signature Sounds family, Cloudbelly’s poetic lyricism, stirring vocals, cinematic arrangements, and disarming stage presence have earned them a strong and growing following.
