Reese Fulmer & The Carriage House Band:
Cutting his teeth as the manager of the iconic Saratoga Springs listening room Caffe Lena, Reese Fulmer has emerged “with a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling and a healthy dose of irony.” (Viv Nesbitt, Art of the Song) The 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Thomas Edison Music Awards, Reese and his band have become one of the fastest-rising groups in upstate NY with a reputation for compelling live performances. With a rotating cast of talented players, a broad and dynamic body of work, and a refusal to set anything in stone, their shows are always fresh, full of joy, and hard to describe: "smart, emotionally tuned arrangements and a stage presence that balanced earnestness with unpredictability. Their live performance thrives in the liminal space between genres folk, Americana, jazz and the result is a sound that’s complex without being convoluted." (NYSMusic) Their debut album In The Sunlight (released October 25th, 2025) offers an expansive palette of rich musicality paired with earnest and poetic lyricism.
Chicky Stoltz & The Charlie Nobles:
The Charlie Nobles operate as the house band on the Schooner Stephen Taber out of Rockland, Maine, featuring Tom Whitehead on guitar, accordion, and keys, Jed Kriegel on bass, Captain Noah Barnes on harmonica and percussion, and Chicky Stoltz on drums and guitar. Their catalog ranges from tried and true classics to maritime Blues and contemporary Roots music. Around the Northeast, they serve as the backing band for Chicky's original work. Chicky has spent nearly four decades out there as a musician. Singer, drummer, guitarist, one-man band. Bars and halls, good and bad. Shared the stage with and opened for many of the best (Patti Smith, Paw, Duke Robillard, Sara Cox, Darien Brahms). His music explores many fictional stories of fraud, land development/environmentalism, technology, and death, done with tongue squarely in cheek.
