Linda Marks, Steve Harz and Terri Lachance in the Round

Linda Marks

With sixteen studio albums to her credit and a seventeenth due out in March 2027, multi-award winning singer songwriter Linda Marks has established herself as one of New England's most prolific independent recording artists. Her releases have appeared on the Roots Music Report Folk, Contemporary Folk and Alternative Folk charts, as well as the Folk Alliance International Folk Chart, and have earned her a Nomination for Best Roots Artist in the 2026 New England Music Awards. Known for music that explores love, healing, resilience and the complexities of human relationships, Marks has drawn comparisons to Carole King for her intimate piano-driven songwriting, Joni Mitchell for her emotional honesty and Norah Jones for her warm, jazz-influenced vocal style.

Bill Copeland Music News has praised her songwriting, declaring, "Marks' songwriting skills have reached a point where she is among the best of them, famous or local," while The Boston Globe has described her as "a longtime fixture on the Greater Boston music scene."

Linda is an artist who has long believed in music's ability to connect people, inspire reflection and bring meaningful stories into the world, and who has spent her life creating artist-alliance groups, concert series that enrich and build community in addition to providing quality entertainment, and demonstrate that by collaborating, innovating and working together, we can create new possibilities that enrich us all

Steven Harz

Formerly from Nashville TN, Steven Harz is a Connecticut-based singer-songwriter primarily focused in the folk and Americana genres (Steven refers to his music as “Americana Soul”). Formerly and award-winning poet, he has taken the writing craft and put it to music.

Influenced by songwriters such as Townes Van Zandt, Steve’s lyrics are tinted with melancholy and tinged with the blues. Other songwriting heroes include Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, Ryan Duritz, Pheobe Bridgers, Gram Parsons, and Gabe Lee.

Steven currently travels the music circuit in southern New England, and while in Nashville was a perennial participant in Nashville Songwriter Week festivities and has opened for award-winning songwriters/performers such as Eric Paslay.

In 2024 Steven released an album called, “Live at The Buttonwood Tree, "as well as a single titled, "Virginia's On The Way." In January of 2026 Steve will be releasing an EP called, "Rosebud."

The hope in his songwriting is that somewhere a line or a lyric will touch you, making you feel something, even if only for a brief moment…
