She released her debut EP, "Hangin' On", in 2020 and will release her first full-length, fully crowd-funded album in 2023.
Paul Wolfe is an acoustic singer-songwriter who’s lived here in Northern Virginia for nearly 30 years, with stops in Charlottesville, Philadelphia, and London along the way—though deep down his native Pittsburgh still feels like home. As a Presbyterian minister his songwriting surveys a wide sweep of life and love, truth and trial, experience and imagination. Paul has received numerous recognitions from the Songwriters’ Association of Washington, and he relishes opportunities to connect live with listeners who bring experiences and longings of their own.

He performed his tribute song to Nelson Mandela, "No Holiday for Madiba" at the the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa.
