Eva Cassel, Julia Cannon, and Susie McCollum at Uncommon Ground

Julia Cannon is an Alaska raised and now Nashville-based songwriter, recording artist and music producer who is hard to forget. Known for producing and mixing her own music, her outstanding musicality, disarming persona, beauty, style, and offbeat humor, Julia Cannon is a bright star to watch.

In July of 2022, she made her Newport Folk Festival debut, performing with the Black Opry as well as Langhorn Slim, Sierra Ferrell, Joy Oladokun, Adia Victoria, and several more earning her a nod from Rolling Stone. You can also find Julia’s name on a plaque as a part of the Black Opry’s exhibit in the Country Music Hall of Fame, or opening for musicians such as Iniko, when they come through town.

Nashville-based artist Eva Cassel is a unique combination of crystalline vocals and infectious grooves. Wielding an electric or a rubber bridge guitar, Cassel draws the listener into a cinematic world. Her lilting melodies and brutally honest lyrics allows both the front row ‘woo girl’ and the quiet back row attendee to feel seen. John Mayer described Eva’s writing as thorough, sincere, and thoughtful. Cassel has toured internationally and shared the stage with Artists such as Neil Young, John Mayer, Stephen Stills, Katie Pruitt, Wild Rivers, Lily Meola, Dessa, Daisha McBride and many more.

With the release of three EP’s, her songs have been placed on leading editorial playlists including Apple Music’s New Alternative.

Susie McCollum is a multifaceted artist who proudly defies categorization. Hailing from New York City, Susie brings a soulful and poignant voice to the indie scene, drawing inspiration from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, and Janis Ian. Her music is a reflection of the emotions often left unspoken, fueled by compassion, wit, and an insatiable curiosity.
