Hannah Juanita left her home state of Tennessee in her early twenties, excited to meet the world. She travelled in search of herself, worked odd jobs, and spent countless nights singing fireside under the stars with friends, never pursuing music as a career. 

Eventually, Hannah made it back to Tennessee, landing in Nashville with nothing but her dog Loretta, her guitar, and a handful of heartbreak songs. She started singing around town and quickly became a staple live performer and a highly respected vocalist in the traditional country scene in Music City, known for her classic, old school sound. 

Self proclaimed ramblin’ gal, Hannah Juanita has toured heavily around the country since 2021 headlining and supporting acts like Kaitlin Butts, Hayes Carll, Braxton Keith, Nick Shoulders, Emily Nenni, Summer Dean, and Jesse Daniel. Her debut record ‘Hardliner’ established her reputation as a full-hearted, free-spirited, and irresistibly genuine honky tonk angel. Hannah Juanita’s second full length record, ‘Tennessee Songbird’, produced by Mose Wilson, was released August 30, 2024 to high acclaim, breaking into the top 40 on the Americana Radio Chart and top 3 on the Alt Country Chart. Named one of the five female artists creating the future of country music by Grammy.com, in 2025, Hannah will be touring across America and Europe.

Mose Wilson is a talented artist blending roots, country, Americana, and bluegrass with influences of soul, funk, and rock & roll. Starting his musical journey at six, he became the first traditional musician in his family, inspired by legends like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash.

His self-titled debut album, **“Mose Wilson,”** released in 2021, received critical acclaim and showcased his ability to explore themes of love, heartbreak, and the complexities of life. As a guitarist, songwriter, and producer, Mose has collaborated with artists such as Melissa Carper and Eliza Thorn.

With his upcoming album, **“That’s Love,”** Mose invites listeners to experience the heartfelt connection of his music.

This inspiring and personal ode to the Silver State takes curious adventurers off the grid to experience a version of the state few people truly know.

When many people think of Nevada, they think of Las Vegas, Area 51, and an unending, empty desert—but there’s a lot more to the Great Basin State than that. Author and dedicated Nevada aficionado Sydney Martinez has devoted many years to exploring the ultra-rural wonders of Nevada, and in Finding Nevada Wild, she helps fellow adventurers get to know an often-misunderstood state.

Written from the perspective of someone who has researched, visited, and experienced many of Nevada’s defining places, Finding Nevada Wild features chapters devoted to various interests and activities. Vivid photography accompanies personal stories and practical guidance to show why Nevada should be at the top of everyone’s must-experience list.

Book talk will be followed by a signing.  Don’t miss this special FREE event.

Lacy J. Dalton is a Grammy nominated singer/songwriter from Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt.” She was awarded “Top New Female Vocalist of the Year” in 1979 by the Academy of Country Music, and quickly rose to national prominence with her hit single “Crazy Blue Eyes,” a song that raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts. Lacy’s collaboration with Willie Nelson on his Half Nelson CD was a high spot for her. Lacy was the only woman featured on that recording (which included singing legends Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias, George Jones, Leon Russell, Carlos Santana, Mel Tillis, Hank Williams Sr., and Neil Young), and was awarded a Platinum Record for it. She also received a Gold Record from Hank Williams Jr. in 1985 for her support performances throughout his Five-0 Tour. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully share the stage with the likes of Hank Williams Jr., Willie Nelson, George Jones, Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard and Charlie Daniels. Her Hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts: “Hard Times,” “Crazy Blue Eyes,” “Hillbilly Girl with the Blues.” “Takin’ it Easy,” “Everybody Makes Mistakes,” the worldwide hit “Black Coffee,” and her signature song “16th Avenue,” the anthem for Nashville songwriters voted one of Country’s Top 100 songs ever by Billboard Magazine. Her career includes accomplishments in music, film and radio. As an independent artist with her own label called Song Dog Records, Lacy has released three albums, “Wild Horse Crossing” in 1999, a tribute to Hank Williams Sr. entitled “Here’s To Hank” in 2010, and her first Americana album “The Last Wild Place Anthology” in 2006.
