About the Artists:
Craig Bickhardt is a Delaware County resident, and is a folk/Americana performing songwriter with major writing credits, a poet’s voice, a virtuoso guitar style and a veteran’s experience. Craig composed nine (9) Top-10 ten Billboard hits including four (4) #1’s and, and has shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen, Stephen Stills, Judy Collins, Hank Williams Jr., Kathy Mattea, and others. Craig’s songs have found their way onto platinum and Grammy-winning recordings by legends such as Johnny Cash, Martina McBride, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, B.B. King, and Alison Krauss. Craig and his long-time friend Thom Schuyler co-wrote and produced the classic Christmas album, Precious Child. Narrated by Guy Clark, it features guest performances by Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Janis Ian, Michael Johnson, Dan Seals, Ashley Cleveland and a host of others.
Jesse Terry – Having always loved Christmas music, Jesse’s Christmas album “Peace” was made even more special by becoming a family affair – Michael Terry, Jesse’s father, a longtime professional musician / producer, was brought on as co-producer and handled the vocal arrangements. His wife Jess took the photos included in the album packaging, many of which feature Jesse and Jess’s daughter. Rooted in rhythmic rock & roll and sharp songwriting, Jesse’s latest album Arcadia marks a turning point in his career. It’s the seventh original album from an award-winning musician who’s spent much of the past decade on the move, playing 150 shows annually, including bucket list events such as Bonnaroo and AmericanaFest. A grand-prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, Terry established himself as a top-shelf songwriter and storyteller even before he built his audience as a solo artist. His lyrical mastery, emotional depth, and soothing voice have often been compared to the likes of Jackson Browne, Jason Isbell, Paul McCartney and James Taylor.
Halley Neal is an award-winning folk singer and songwriter whose music radiates warmth, positivity, and peace. A rising presence in the Americana and folk scenes, Halley has toured nationally, performing in listening rooms and folk venues across the country. She has graced the stages of major festivals including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Among her career highlights, Halley has opened for and shared the stage in a duet performance with Grammy-winning artist Sara Bareilles – an experience that reflects both her talent and growing recognition in the contemporary folk world. Following the success of her critically acclaimed 2022 album Beautiful and Blue, Halley just released Letter for a Friend. Written as a collection of personal letters to the people who have shaped, influenced, and inspired her, the album was recorded in Nashville and reflects her most intimate and narrative-driven work to date..
Sam Robbins, who is nominated for “Artist of The Year” in the 2025 International Folk Music Awards, is often described as an “old soul singer songwriter.” A New England based, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals. Touring with a new acclaimed album, “So Much I Still Don’t See”, named one of Atwood Magazine’s 2025 “Artists to Watch”, leading songwriting workshops and exciting performances across the country, Sam Robbins has gained a reputation as one of the brightest rising stars in the national folk music community.
Halley Neal and Sam Robbins released a Christmas album in 2023 entitled “You and Me on Christmas Eve.” Recorded at Skinny Elephant Recording in Nashville, TN, with Grammy-nominated producer Dylan Alldredge (Amy Speace, Mary Gauthier, Jesse Terry, Ordinary Elephant), the album features five original Christmas songs and 10 classic Holiday covers that dive deep into Robbins’ and Neal’s backgrounds as Nashville-based singer-songwriters, with touches of jazz born from their days at Berklee College of Music. Two tracks, “You and Me on Christmas Eve” and “Christmas is Coming Soon” can be found in the soundtrack of the New England based AMC+ movie “Christmas on the Cape.”
