The True Leaves Band, formerly known as The Frosty Mountain Band, is a jammin’ string duet from the Midwest. Members Paul McFarland and Abbey Nelson got their start playing as street performers. Traveling the U.S., learning from the road, and writing songs along the way. Their nomadic histories have made them very well rounded. They love to play originals and cover songs by Johnny Cash, Jerry Garcia, Bob Marley, and more. Drawing inspiration from life lessons, nature, and Buddhism.

The music of Grace Pettis is described as a little bit of folk, a little bit of country/Americana, and a whole lot of soul.
Outlaw Country singer Zach Willdee combines energetic performances with his raw talent to bear a voice bigger than his body and stories older than his boots.
Come experience the synergy of two amazing artists, together, in a venue celebrated for its community spirit and acoustic excellence-The Arcata Playhouse.
