LINDA SUSSMAN is an award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist from New York whose music is a mix of alternative-folk and blues that digs into our shared human experience. As KTAL host Ron Cooke says, “Sussman makes the personal universal and the universal personal.” Her vocals are often compared to Joan Baez, while her self-taught guitar style use open tunings, fingerstyle and acoustic slide. In early 2026, she released her sixth album since 2018, titled Don’t Drink the Poison, which ranked #3 on the Roots Music Report’s Top Alt-Folk Album Chart in January and was a Top Album on the FAI Folk Chart in February. She’s been on WFUV John Platt’s On Your Radar series, while the many venues she has played include the iconic The Bitter End (NYC), the Long Island Music Hall of Fame (Stony Brook, NY), the Jeanne Rimsky Theater (Port Washington, NY) and more intimate stages such as Radio Bean (Vermont). Occasionally, you can find her onstage with her lead guitarist Mike Nugent. 
Shari Ulrich, originally from the San Francisco Bay area, began her career in music in Canada in the early 70’s. She went on to be Canadian award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (violin, mandolin, piano, guitar, dulcimer) touring and recording for over five decades. From the legendary Pied Pumkin to The Hometown Band (“Fear of Flying”), and as a solo artist, she has released 25 albums - including with Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes (UHF), Barney Bentall and Tom Taylor (BTU), and The High Bar Gang, (a 7-piece bluegrass band with Barney Bentall.) Her work has garnered several JUNO awards & nominations, (the Canadian Grammys) an induction into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame, and a Canadian Folk Music Award (CFMA) for Songwriter of the Year. She tours solo, with BTU, The High Bar Gang, The Luckies (with Jeanne Tolmie & Hilary Grist), and, on occasion, a shared bill with The Unfaithful Servants.
