Sam Rasmussen is a finalist in the Jane Titland Memorial Songwriting Contest this year.  He learned about Tumbleweed and the contest because he teaches 3^rd and 4^th grade in Spokane, and Ivy Eyer, of “The Eyer Family Band,” was one of his students.  This is his first time writing a song and performing in public.

Sam says “I am excited to join Tumbleweed as a songwriter in the songwriting competition and as a guest on the All-Ages Family Stage. I am not a performer but love music and have been tinkering on guitar and banjo for several years. At home I have three boys and a wonderful wife. I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I hope you enjoy my music.”

Sam will also be doing a set of kid’s music on the River Stage.

The RooTsters are Seattle bluesmen Stanislove and John Moore.  They do an eclectic mix of originals by Stanislove, and classic blues from history.  Stanislove will present a workshop on “Bottleneck Slide Guitar.”

Robin Embry is an experienced singer/songwriter from Southern Indiana (USA).  His skillful storyteller style of song writing effectively expresses love, heartache, happiness, sorrow, contentment, and misfortune experienced by all.  It’s easy to place yourself in the middle of most any song he has written.  He’s had multiple songs independently released and he continues to perform, write, inspire, and encourage.
This is Robin’s first appearance at Tumbleweed – he found our website and thought it looked like a great festival that he wanted to be a part of!
Many of his songs and performances can be found at www.facebook.com/robin.embry.10/videos.
So, on behalf of all of us at TMFVirtual2020, please enjoy this performance from Robin Embry.

Rob Kneisler is a solo singer/songwriter from Kent, WA, who also performs as a member of “The Whateverly Brothers.” Rob says he is doing what comes naturally: learning, writing, laughing, and playing far more Bruce Cockburn (pr. CO-burn) tunes than one would expect an individual to know.  Rob has a new CD straight off the presses!

Released from Quiet is a singer/songwriter groove-centric Rock duo from Redmond, WA, made up of Chris Kendzionski and Mary Yeager. Songs of the road, out of this world love, and introspection weave their way into RFQ songs.
So, on behalf of all of us at TMFVirtual2020, please enjoy this performance from Released From Quiet.

William Pint and Felicia Dale bring us an intoxicating blend of traditional and modern music reflecting the immense vitality of those who live and work on the sea. Pint and Dale’s music fits into the world of modern folk, rock and popular song, but it’s rich with the myth, narrative, rhythm, rhyme and lyric associated with the days of the tall ships.
William and Felicia have 10 Albums, which are for sale on their website, pintndale.com and are half of (with Tania Opland and Mike Freeman) “Les Strompettes,” a band led by dual hurdy-gurdies!

Pennies on the Track – Brian, Jack & Neil are three singer/songwriters from the Denver area, harmonizing on Folk, Bluegrass, Country, and Rock: for the love of music and friendship.
