Madi Diaz - (Set time: 11:00 PM)
“When I was a teenager,” Madi Diaz recalls, “my dad and I would hang out in the living room and learn songs by bands like the Eagles and Alice in Chains. We’d pick parts to harmonize and sing our way through them, over and over. My dad would get so excited when he figured out something by Yes or the Mamas and Papas, then he’d let me pick my favorite Silverchair song or whatever I was obsessing over at the moment and we’d learn it together, too. It was the best.”
Diaz’s advance EP, Far From Things That We Know, and forthcoming full-length, Plastic Moon (out January 24) reflect a lifelong attraction to song craft as well her deep-rooted affinity for contrasting types of music. One part pop music and one part organic Americana, the album is a hooky, confident collection of songs that is as heartbreaking in places as it is catchy in others, sometimes within the span of a single song.

Lucy Schwartz - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Lucy Schwartz recently released a 6-track EP called Keep Me and is currently working on her third full-length album—due out in 2012!
Schwartz is a 22-year-old Los Angeles-based artist, with big dreams, a colorful imagination, and a knack for writing songs that translate to the big screen. Her music has graced movie theaters and TV sets all around the world. Lucy says, “What I love most about the challenge of writing for film is that you have to put yourself into the lens of a different character and always end up with a song that you would never have written otherwise. One form of art inspires another form of art”. Most recently, she co-wrote a brooding medieval ballad entitled, “Cold”, with British artist Aqualung, for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Lucy began writing songs for films when she was a teenager in high school. At age 18 she wrote both the opening-title song and end-credit song for the Meg Ryan film The Women. Since then, she has written original songs for Shrek Forever After, Mother & Child, Post Grad, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and had music featured in the films Monte Carlo, Adam, and a multitude of television shows. She also penned the international theme song for NBC's show Parenthood. Plus, Fun Fact: The fake-British-chanteuse of “Mr. F” and “For British Eyes Only” on Arrested Development is, in truth, the voice of Lucy.
Lucy Schwartz toured with Lilith Fair alongside Sarah McLachlan and Sheryl Crow and has opened for Moby, The Weepies, Brandi Carlile, The Civil Wars, A Fine Frenzy, Agnes Obel, Toad the Wet Sprocket and The Belle Brigade.
Lucy is also dedicated to making the world a better place through music: she has worked with Charity Water, CHOC Children's Hospital, Rock n Roll Camp for Girls, Songs of Love for Japan, and Symphony of Hope: The Haiti Project and hopes to continue to be involved in projects that bring hope, light, and laughter to others.

Emily Arin - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
With a plaintive, delicate voice, Montour Falls, New York’s, Emily Arin weaves tales concerned with the heavy graces of being human. Working with noted producers, Brian McTear (Matt Pond PA, Sharon Van Etten) and Greg Weeks (Espers), Arin has crafted songs with a wide-ranging mix of influences, from Hank Williams and Memphis Minnie to Nick Drake, Caetano Veloso, Tom Waits, Sybille Baier and Gillian Welch on her debut studio album, Patch of Land, available January, 2011.
In her lyrics, Arin explores experiences where shadows and light converge and transformation is offered as a possibility. Whether autobiographical songs of love and longing, or third person waltzes and ballads (as in Patch of Land’s ‘Sweetly Breathe’), Arin’s inventiveness with language and melody hold court.
