Weber was a 2012 finalist in the legendary Kerrville “New Folk” competition, as well as the prestigious Dave Carter Songwriting contest in 2010.
Weber was also a winner of the West Coast Songwriters Performing Songwriter competition

Following in the long tradition of great singer-songwriters,
Weber entertains audiences with inspired and energetic performances, telling hilarious,

Twenty-six year old New Hampshire-based singer/songwriter Tristan Omand has stories beyond his years.

as it was recorded in a glorious sounding 19th century Victorian home,
with a Kickstarter campaign funding the pressing of the album on vinyl.
Tristan has had the pleasure of opening for acts ranging from Livingston Taylor,
to Side One Dummy Records artist Audra Mae, and nationals Larry & His Flask,

“CHRISTOPHER PAUL STELLING”
Having released his official debut album “Songs of Praise and Scorn” in February of 2012,
Christopher Paul Stelling continues to tour relentlessly. Singing his songs with a pure uninhibited delivery,
Stelling is becoming known for the intensity and passion put into his live performances.
Owing as much to the bards and troubadours of times long since past as to his contemporaries,
Stelliing’s ever developing commitment to his craft is obvious.
His second album “False Cities” was just released on May 21 of this year,
and is set to bring Stelling’s gothic folk mix of howling fingerpicked stomps and crooning lament to even further realization.
