"One of the best acts at Jalopy Theatre are locals M Shanghai, who usually play monthly, proving that New York, nay, Brooklyn is as country as Tennessee." Village Voice 

Crys Matthews, already being hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie,” DC resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. Crys Matthews is made for these times, and, with the release of her new, hope-fueled, love-filled social justice album, Changemakers, Matthews hopes to take her place alongside some of her heroes in the world of social-justice music like Sweet Honey in the Rock and Holly Near. 

Fiddler & Folksinger Emerald Rae brings the duo of strings and song to a new plateau with mesmerizing dexterity. Hailing from the historic fishing community of Gloucester, Massachusetts, Emerald Rae is both a small-town girl steeped in cherished folk traditions and a world-class artist breaking new ground with inventive fiddle effects.
