A Vermont native, Reid Parsons has been spinning tales of triumph and tragedy through her soul-soaked Americana tunes. Parsons grew up in the Mad River Valley with strong influences of folk, blues, and jazz music. Performing alongside the likes of Cedric Burnside, Dexter Allen, and The Peterson Brothers in recent years, Parsons has rooted herself firmly in the blues tradition while exploring her folk singer-songwriter side. With her finger-picking style and mellifluous alto vocals, Parsons brings raw emotion onto the stage, taking listeners along for the ride every single time.
Cricket Blue are a Vermont-based folk duo comprising Laura Heaberlin and Taylor Smith. Their unique sound lies "somewhere between tingly / prickly,"[1] characterized by intricate, layered guitar work and dreamy harmonies which sources consistently describe as "haunting",[2][3][4][5] even though only Laura believes in ghosts.
Taylor and Laura share songwriting duties, and the fruits of their collaboration are pieces which draw most heavily on traditional American folk music, but which borrow liberally from jazz and Romantic classical ideas. Their lyrics wheel from balladesque narrative to stark character portraits to small meditations on philosophy or friendship, buoyed by signature tightrope harmonies which Laura once pitched to Taylor as "playing a two-headed narrator." They are working on their second full-length album.
