Ryanhood / Daphne Willis / Nikolas Metaxas

In between classes at Berklee College of Music, Ryan Green found his calling with childhood friend Cameron Hood. One part comedic exchange and one part music ensemble, Ryanhood has built a reputation around the country as one of the most entertaining and engaging acoustic duos today. 

In the little more than three years since she grabbed her acoustic guitar and took the stage for the first time, Chicago-based Daphne Willis has grown from a feisty neophyte into a self-assured, marvelously expressive artist with a bracingly seductive sound. The 22-year-old's Vanguard Records debut album, What to Say, documents Willis's voyage of self-discovery and is a captivating introduction to a remarkably fresh voice—one that both reflects and scrutinizes the social patterns of her generation. She will perform an acoustic trio set.

Nikolas Metaxas is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter/composer born in the United States who grew up on the island of Cyprus. He has won numerous awards for songwriting, and placed second in the televised singing competition X Factor, the British equivalent of American Idol.
