Upcoming Artists 
Rose Gerber – Saturday, October 4, 2025 at 7:30 pm
Singer-songwriter Rose Gerber is an intrepid American roots explorer, grafting country, folk, rock, alt-rock, and alt-country into an ageless, ache-laden signature sound. As a writer, Rose is both thick-skinned and delicate, shape-shifting from Heartland rock n’roll to heartbreaking balladry with unpretentious ease. Her songs are snapshots of everyday living that capture meaning in the seemingly mundane, courageous letters-to-self that spill wisdom so raw it feels almost accidental. It’s that unflinching tone that lands her comparisons to Natalie Merchant, Gillian Welch, and Patty Griffin: a turn-of-the-millenium voice backed by the high-lonesome pedal steel whine, Doc Martins and cowboy boots, each in their turn.
Rose’s music suggests a continued musical progression with a real sense of purpose and direction within her recent nostalgic songs of escape and compromise that each hold their own identity.
Gerber’s vocals are both powerful and infectious in equal measure as they drive home the sentiment within the narrative of each song.
“Rose’s 2024 EP, Untraveled Highway, out on July 5th, is a nostalgic escape into the freedom of youth that somehow never quite abandons its grown-up wisdom. In five songs about running, compromising, and learning to stay, Rose lovingly buckles impending middle age into the passenger seat and hits the highway – a much-needed road trip companion for anyone wrestling with what it might mean to settle down. “
Glide Magazine
“Untraveled Highway by Rose Gerber. This little gem definitely ought to get onto some year-end best of lists. It’s skilled, high quality songwriting well worth checking into”

Luke Bulla has been singing and playing music most of his life. Touring with and singing in his family band from age four, Luke took up the fiddle at seven.
Over the course of the next few years, he won the National Fiddle Contest (in Weiser, Idaho) six times in his respective age categories. His seventh win came in the Grand Champion division at age sixteen, making him the youngest to have earned the title at the time. Entering Nashville’s Grand Master Fiddle Championship at age ten, Luke distinguished himself by being the youngest person to have made the top ten.
In the spring of 1999, Luke moved to Nashville to establish himself as a full time musician. He spent his early years in Tennessee playing fiddle in Ricky Skaggs’ band, Kentucky Thunder, which earned him his first Grammy Award.
Following the Skaggs stint, he became a member of the John Cowan Band. More recently Luke has performed and/or recorded with Brandi Carlile, Jim Lauderdale, Darrell Scott, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, Bryan Sutton, Kevin Costner & Modern West, Russ Barenberg Trio, Shawn Colvin, Tony Rice, Chris Thile, Peter Rowan, Patty Griffin, Glen Phillips, Rodney Crowell, and Earl Scruggs, to name a few. Luke was also a perennial instructor at Mark O’Connor’s fiddle camps in his early Nashville years.
With his long-time friend Casey Driessen, Luke founded the band Wisechild, which toured briefly with John Mayer and Counting Crows. He also had a band collaboration, W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration), which included members Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek, Fiction Family), Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket), Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek, I’m With Her), Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Imposters, The Attractions, Los Lobos), Greg Leisz (Joni Mitchell, Wilco, Sheryl Crow, Beck), and Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Cracker).
In 2009, Luke released a solo EP featuring Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Aoife O’Donovan and more.
That same year, Lyle Lovett asked Luke to join his Large Band, with whom he toured full time until 2023.
In addition to violin, Luke plays guitar and mandolin, and sings and writes songs.
“I was in awe of his professionalism and his palmarès and was struck by his calm demeanor. It had been almost 15 years since we’d last played together and I was delighted when he reached out about joining me for the Happy Hour”
Travis Book, Blue Grass Situation (bgs)
“Luke filled our home with music. Luke’s musicality comes from his DNA and is second to none. He captivated our audience with his masterful performances on the fiddle and guitar, his well-trained voice, and his extensive storytelling, which aligns him with the legends of the genre.”
