“New York-native, Benny Bleu is a geologist by trade, banjo player and singer-songwriter who touches on our connections with the natural world and each other.” – Putumayo World Music
Benny Bleu Haravitch plays old time banjo in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York – a land defined by deep lake valleys and steep highlands. The topography is reflected in the local fiddle tradition, and Benny’s banjo rolls along having studied and played with regional old-time visionaries Mac Benford, Richie Stearns, Judy Hyman, and Bruce Molsky. As a former geologist, his songwriting is earth-focused and inspired by the natural world. Benny’s performances are soothing journeys through tunes from his homeland, old songs learned by growing up next to a jug-bandleader, and original modern folk contemplations. 2024 is a prolific year as Benny released twin albums Banjo Meditations (featured in Bandcamp Daily’s Best Country Music of June 2024) and Banjo Jubilations (#2 artist and #5 album on FAI Folk Radio Chart June 2024), and embarked on an all-too-uncommon Amtrak tour to the west coast and back, spreading the efforts of sustainability and eco-consciousness in the traveling arts.
Abigayle Kompst falls directly out of the lyrical back pocket of the likes of John Prine— blending lightheartedness with poignant reflections on life, love, and the human existence. A poet born in Las Vegas, her songs are award-winning and delivered through a sweet, silky voice that has been finely tuned in the humidity of Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2024, Abigayle made her debut at the iconic Bluebird Cafe and has since toured the US and Canada, opening for acts like Forest Blakk, The War and Treaty, and more. This year, she’s excited to be an official showcase artist at NERFA in Portland, Maine.
