About Ashley Brooke-Toussant:
I like to laugh a lot. my sisters can make me fall to the floor, 
clapping and laughing. that is the truth. I am a fan of honesty.I really 
really like peanut butter. I feel so much better about life after I cry. 
"Laughing through tears, that is my favorite emotion." When I get 
bigger, I want to be like Diane Keaton. I love Andy Warhol and Salvador 
Dali. I hate being called shy because of the fear of being denied being 
anything else. I wish I was around in the 60's. my favorite movies are 
annie Hall and Funny girl. I get scared super easily. If I was six feet 
tall,you would never call me cute. I could be buried in mint chocolate 
chip ice cream or carrot cake. I hate love songs. I think I always will. 
I am not cynical. I think there is much more beauty and verity in a sad 
song. If I had a nickel for how many times I get asked if my name is 
French, I could buy some sour patch kids. I absolutely love love the 
mandolin. I think I am going to meet Carole King someday. I probably 
just jinxed my life. I like to sing more than anything in the whole 
state of Ohio and most of the world.

About Chittlin:
She's country. She's indie rock, She's folk and soul. She's all of them 
and none of them. Chittlin's sweet sound is at once haunting and 
soothing; a blend of different styles that results in a very unique 
brand of music, which she dubs "Alt. Music." Chittlin' is making a name 
for herself by being distinct. While most musicians rush to place 
themselves in a cozy category, She went ahead and carved her own. 
Weather its delivering a mesmerizing "classic country" tinged balled on 
her guitar, or stomping out an "indie rock" anthem on her banjo, 
Chittlin' writes and performs with a sensitivity, rawness, and 
confidence well beyond her years. Growing up in a musical household, 
Chittlin' found her flair for music early on. She was performing with 
her family band "One Way Rider" by age 8, and now at 17 plays the bass, 
guitar, and banjo. Currently she still tours with her family, playing 
rhythm guitar and singing lead and harmony vocals. But to truly 
understand Chittlin' is to see her in her element. Presenting her own 
original material solo, or with minimal accompaniment. -David Mayfield

About The Rents:
The Rents are Ma and Pa, Val and David Lee Mayfield, from the family 
bluegrass band One Way Rider. One Way Rider is based in Kent and 
performs a unique combination of Traditional Bluegrass, Newgrass, 
Country, Gospel, Acappella & Progressive appalachian. The kids have 
grown up and are involved with many solo projects now, so Ma and Pa 
decided to go back to where they started and perform as a duet. With an 
entertaining and comedic stage show, The Rents make music that’s fun for 
the whole family.

Thank you for supporting the arts!
