The night kicked off with a spirited set from the always musical and always harmonious Lawrence & Leigh, whose soothing sound set the tone for the night ahead. Built upon a foundation of unique, masterful songwriting (and love) this Brooklyn-based duo is a favorite at the Swan Loft.

The evening continued with The Ghost of Arthur James, whose deep voice and howling harmonica had the crowd entranced with the sound of a songwriter well beyond his youthful countenance and charming on-stage presence.

After that, the crowd was graced by the rousing sound of one of Brooklyn's finest folk artists, Feral Foster. Foster's soulful vocal stylings and guitar pickin' has become a staple of Paper Swan's loft shows, and his memorable performance was one of many that keeps folks coming back time and time again.

Lastly was a welcomed set from a Swan Loft newcomer, Jackson Lynch. Following in the footsteps of the great pickers before him, Lynch takes his audience on a spirited journey through American traditional music with honesty and sincerity.

The night ended with a foot-stompin' jam led by Swan Loft house band, Free Advice. It all took place in front of Paper Swan's "Cardboard City," a captivating mini-city built entirely out of cardboard and lit up to the audience's enchantment.
