Portrait of singer-songwriter Sara Groves

Sara Groves

Sara Groves is a 25+ year veteran singer/songwriter and recording artist. Her latest full release, What Makes It Through, is loosely based on the writings of Kazuo Ishiguro, and is a reflection on memory and reconciliation. In the fall of 2024, Sara remastered Add to the Beauty for vinyl and CD that featured three new songs for the 20th anniversary of that album. This fall, Sara and her team will celebrate the 25th anniversary of her national debut album,Conversations.

Sara and her husband Troy run a unique community art center, Art House North, in a 120+ year old church in their St. Paul neighborhood where they live with or near their growing and grown kids, Kirby + Halle, Toby and Ruby.

Portrait of singer-songwriter Taylor Leonhardt

Taylor Leonhardt

Native Texan and new-ish Nashvillian, Taylor Leonhardt is first and foremost a craftsman. Whether she's penning tunes for her solo project or for her duo Mission House with Jess Ray, it's always about the song. The Gospel Coalition recently called Taylor “one of the most promising singer-songwriters in Nashville these days,” naming her latest project Hold Still one of the best albums of 2021. In addition to touring and writing, she spends time across the US leading music and conversations for spiritual retreats, creative workshops, and faith communities. When she's not on the road, you can catch Taylor on a long run at Shelby Park or pursuing her newest hobby — fly fishing. She is convinced God songs are everywhere.
