Born and raised in Springfield Massachusetts, independent artist and songwriter Alex Rohan has always had a passion for music. Growing up with a family full of musicians, Alex had an interest early on. He began singing at a very young age and from there taught himself how to play guitar. He started to perform for more than just his family. As a teenager, he started playing at local bars and restaurants where he gained a lot of his early musical experience. Rohan is not only a musician but also an esteemed song writer. His repertoire of original songs breaks barriers between genres through meaningful and expressive songwriting. His first solo EP entitled “Lancaster” debuted in 2021. Critics calling it a “mix of reggae and alternative” (Nantucket Inquire and Mirror), it includes “engulfing songs with intense instrumentals”. He also pays homage to other genres with songs of a country feel with folk inspired melodies. Beyond playing his own originals, Alex’s live performances include covers of artists such as Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. His solo shows include rhythmic and lead guitar riffs with live looping that engage the audience. His smooth, soulful vocals aid in the genre-bending artists’ ability to please the audience. When Rohan has the opportunity, he and his band The Alex Rohan Band, will bring the progressive jam-band feel while showcasing talented vocals and musicianship. As Alex continues to establish his own name, he has supported many other musicians, such as Mark Roberge of O.A.R., Jack Johnson, and Badfish a tribute to Sublime. As a growing musician, he began playing bigger venues as the headliner himself. He now plays upwards of 150 shows a year. Alongside bigger events, you can continue to find him at local establishments. Rohan feels some of the best energy is found at home continuing to support the community that supports him. New England is not the only place you will find Alex. His talent with both musicianship and songwriting has brought him across the country to different music festivals and events. He has had week long residencies in places like Nantucket playing for Cisco Brewery to Florida for Blast on the Bay Songwriters festival. He has appeared everywhere from casino stages to the Big E, one of the country’s biggest fairs. As a BMI songwriter, he has appeared alongside other artists including Chris Young, Jelly Roll, and Riley Green in the Key West Songwriters Festival. Alex has plans to continue traveling and releasing new music. His latest inspiration for his songwriting has been his growing family, as Rohan and his wife welcomed a daughter in late 2023.

At 19 years old, Jason Byrd fulfilled a lifelong dream when he became the third generation to serve as a firefighter at the Tallahassee Fire Department. But at this same time, a new and unexpected dream began to consume him. It was to write and perform country music. Raised in Tallahassee, Jason grew up on hymns and country music. Deep appreciation for the music genre turned to profound ambition as his undeniable talent for singing and songwriting became clear. It was in the nineties that Jason found himself balancing his career in the fire service with a career in Music City. Traveling 490 miles each way, almost weekly, he was determined once again to turn a dream into a reality. They say Nashville is full of musicians who have spent years hoping to get in front of the right person. Someone who can change the trajectory of their whole career. For Jason, it was no different. But for him, that person was none other than legendary country music artist George Jones. Unexplainable fate found Jason sitting in the living room of George and Nancy Jones, and his life and career changed forever. The two began managing Jason’s music career and providing him with the mentorship that he needed to be successful in this ever-changing business. Small gigs at local bars and honkytonks turned into a long run of playing on stages across the United States and Canada opening for powerhouse artists including, but not limited to, Billy Dean, Joe Diffie, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Nichols, Trace Adkins, Confederate Railroad, Mark Chesnutt, Loretta Lynn, Dierks Bentley, and, of course, George Jones. Additionally, Jason has had several appearances on the world-famous Grand Ole Opry and The Nashville Network. Jones’ passing in 2013 brought a time of deep reflection for Jason, and he returned home to focus on family and his career at the fire department. But music was in his blood. In 2019, Jason left his position in the fire department after a distinguished 28 years of service. Eager to focus solely on music, Jason knew he wanted to re-introduce himself to the world by paying tribute to the man who defined country music for legions of fans. In 2021, Jason released his first single to country radio. A self-pinned duet with George Jones called, “Better Life," which was nominated for the 2022 “Single of the Year” by the Josie Music Awards. "I am humbled and honored to give George Jones fans the chance to hear him again on the radio and hear one of the last things he recorded before he passed," says Byrd. “I miss my friend and hope he is proud of me for 'keeping it country'! I truly believe country music fans are starving for traditional country music, and I plan on giving it to them." To date, Jason has released 12 singles and is currently working on a new album that will be released in summer of 2025. Jason recently had two songs nominated for the 2024 Josie Music Awards “Song of the Year," “You Ain’t Looking Hard Enough” and “New Kid in Town." Jason’s latest single, “Crops, The Flag and a Little Hell” was released on January 20, 2025. What Others Are Saying “I am honored that Jason did this song. George and I love Jason and his music and George would be so proud of that song if he was around today to hear it. I hope the song goes to #1 and people will appreciate it as much as I do.” – Nancy Jones “I have always loved George Jones’ music for as long as I can remember. He’s been missed and now, thanks to Jason Byrd, we all know what it’s like to have enjoyed a Better Life!” – Johnny Lee “Jason Byrd loved George Jones. George Jones loved Jason Byrd. I had the pleasure of producing both of these great singers. Listening to the two of them sing this song together took me on a magical ride back to those awesome studio days. I can’t wait to hear this one on the radio. Beautiful job by Jason and George.” – Buddy Cannon “In an era where it is becoming increasingly harder to find truly great traditional country music, upon hearing the new track, “Better Life” by Jason Byrd, the lyrics, along with the solid vocals by Byrd, is reminiscent of what a country fan would hear perhaps in the 1970s when Jones and Haggard ruled the airwaves! In fact, especially exciting is that George Jones can be heard on “Better Life”, delivering his final vocal treatment to a song both George, and fans of great traditional-sounding country music would be proud!”  – Ken Shelton, WFXY in Phoenix, AZ “Jason Byrd really tugs at the heart on the moving traditional country ballad “Better Life,” and the inclusion of country king George Jones helps elevate it to a higher level. The listener can recall Joe Nichols, and this duet ballad is sensational.” – Markos Papadatos, Digital Journal

Katrina Cain is an Austin-based artist and songwriter. Steeped in Americana, she aims to use her blooming writing voice to answer the question: what defines belonging? Katrina’s own journey has unfolded on both coasts and in the American southwest. A native Texan, she was born in Dallas, raised in a small New England town, and has moved over 20 times.

Since returning to her Texas roots, she has called this state home longer than any other place, and intends to stay for good this time. Katrina Cain’s music has been described as many genres from Americana, to country, to folk. Simply put, she’s a singer-songwriter. She is most known for her stand out performances on Season 15 of NBC's The Voice, with her haunting rendition of “Rhiannon”. After the pandemic forced show cancellations and postponed releases, Katrina found herself, like so many others, locked down in her studio writing song after song. This songwriting project explores identity and storytelling with simplicity, authenticity, and rhyme. Unlike her previous pop projects, these songs were gritty folk mixed with a dash of country; a true representation of the Texas girl she’d been avoiding for so long. The result of this several-years-long songwriting binge is an EP, set for release in the second half of 2023. Katrina’s music brings the listener on a journey that breaks the barriers of genre: sweet, soulful vocals and luscious dreamscapes, swinging between soul breaking singer-songwriter ballads, and honky tonk country anthems. In her quietest moments, Katrina’s pop sensibilities make room for her authentic tales of Americana. Never one to skimp on lyric, Katrina's artful storytelling bears more of the human experience than just a heartbreak like the one before.

Since her appearance, Sheena has moved on to partner with several multi-platinum songwriters and artists that have evolved her unique songwriting style with tracks such as "Piece Of Me," "Tongues Of Angels" and her debut single, "Bad Bitches Like Me." Sheena has also been a featured host and curator for several themed events for past Island Hopper Songwriter Festivals, which included "The F.E.M.," an all-girl powered round; a Pride round featuring LGBTQ+ artists; and special Bose-sponsored moments during the festival.
