Rosewood Fall is led by Karen Jonas of Fredericksburg, VA. Unique and rhythmic fingerstyle guitar drives songs that are ripe and personal, bare and genuine, and always painstakingly honest. As a co-front of alt-country act The Parlor Soldiers, Karen's songs have been compared to The Civil Wars and the Drive-by-Truckers. She has shared stages with notable acts Chris Knight, Spirit Family Reunion, and Jeffrey Lewis, and has been featured on No Depression, Taproots Radio, Ninebullets Radio, and many American and European blogs and radio stations. Rosewood Fall channels a big dose of heartache but also the rush of the energy and vitality of a fresh start.

Woven Green's music and philosophy is right on time in helping to empower listeners to create a more spiritually connected and earth-conscious reality. At a time when humanity is at the threshold of choosing to either self-destruct or create something beautiful, Woven Green emerges as a beacon of light, shining much needed hope on the resilience of the human spirit. This relevant message is met with serious songwriting skill and a talented line-up of musicians that have created a truly unique blend of pop/rock/folk/fusion that is not to be missed. Woven Green continues to wow fans with their uplifting message and exceptional high-energy performances at notable area venues and festivals such as Hard Rock Cafe, Jammin Java, Rock and Roll Hotel, Capital Pride, and many more! Since its release in November of 2009 their debut EP has been nominated for a prestigious Washington Area Music Award ("Wammie") in the pop-rock category. Woven Green has also been awarded first prize for the Relix Magazine Jam Off Competition for their song "Sixth Sun" and is featured on the Relix CD sampler in the November 2010 issue. The song was also awarded honorable mention in the 27th Annual Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest.
