The Lion Sisters are a sibling duo from New Hampshire whose music is defined by the natural synchronicity that comes from growing up and creating together. With Josi on fiddle and vocals, and Lily on guitar and vocals, their tight harmonies and effortless onstage connection form the core of their sound and set them apart in the modern acoustic landscape.
Their music blends folk and bluegrass with Irish fiddle, vintage country, and subtle pop and rock influences, creating a style that feels both rooted and refreshingly original. Rather than fitting into a single genre, The Lion Sisters have shaped a musical identity that is distinctly their own—warm, melodic, and contemporary while honoring traditional acoustic foundations. Their debut EP, released in January 2025, consists of six original songs recorded by Nashville music producer Jim Prendergast.
Raised on a small family farm surrounded by animals and open fields, the sisters draw inspiration from the natural world and their rural upbringing. The farm remains an authentic backdrop to their creative life, adding depth to their songwriting and visual storytelling.
This past year, they performed throughout New England, at festivals such as Ossipee Valley Music Festival and Joe Val Bluegrass Festival as well as numerous concert series and coffeehouses. Supported by a close-knit family team, they bring professionalism, authenticity, and a clear artistic vision to every stage.
With their signature sister harmonies and genre-blending sound, The Lion Sisters continue to emerge as a notable new voice in today’s folk and acoustic music scene.
Alex Radus.
Award-winning singer-songwriter from PA known for his “genre whiplash” style, with an eclectic mix of Americana, folk, swing, and blues.
You might remember Alex Radus from his memorable but brief performance with Laurie MacAllister at the Rose Garden in 2026.
Alex Radus is hailed as a “versatile crooner” and “skillful fretman”, but his songwriting takes center stage. Known affectionately for his unique brand of “genre whiplash”, Alex pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana, folk, swing and blues. John Gorka calls Alex Radus a “remarkable artist…an excellent guitarist, songwriter and singer…worth going out of your way to hear.”
Alex was selected as a 2024 Falcon Ridge Folk Fest Emerging Artist and voted a “Most Wanted” artist to return to the Main Stage in 2025. His most recent release, Where Liberty Lives, reached #10 on the FAI Folk Radio charts. Where Liberty Lives “is the kind of song that reminds you what folk music was always meant to do. Timely, tender, and absolutely necessary.” (Rock the Pigeon Music Blog)
