Lena Marie Schiffer is a folk singer and songwriter based in Livingston, Montana. She has carved a notable niche in the music industry, touring nationally for ten years with her band Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, and now playing under her own name. Her pure and soaring vocal melodies are influenced by icons like Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, and Alison Krauss, and their impact can also be heard in her vulnerable songwriting style.

In 2024, Lena began developing her eponymous project that leans into folk, indie, and Americana influences. She paired up with Ani Casabonne on fiddle, and together they have formed a duo that is bound by a natural chemistry that is undeniable when hearing them play. 

Western Wallflower, the Bozeman, Montana based duo of Rachael and Jerry Cannon, formed in 2022 out of their love of folk and country & western music. The husband and wife duo seeks to blend influences of both the Appalachian and Rocky Mountain cultures to create something that is uniquely Mountain Folk Music.
