OPEN FOLK PRESENTS: TYLER BALLGAME, JEFF LIVINGSTONE, & MORGANTOWN

Join us for this amazing line-up featuring 3 of our favorite performers from our weekly series accompanied by their bands, these artists will blow our Sunday night away.

Tyler Ballgame

Tyler Ballgame launched his eponymous project in 2023 after moving from Rhode Island to LA. He studied songwriting and voice at Berklee and now writes and produces for both his project and other artists. His debut album is being recorded live to tape with Jonathan Rado and a team of talented friends. Tyler finds the most rewarding aspect of being a creative is transforming personal challenges into songs that resonate universally, creating a therapeutic and empowering experience for both himself and his audience. In October he will be opening Jukebox The Ghost tour in Vegas, Salt Lake City and Denver.

Jeff Livingstone

Jeff Livingstone, hailing from the Long Beach, California music scene, embodies the essence of Americana, folk, and country in his music. His clean and pure vocal tone, reminiscent of Jackson Browne, combines with songwriting that features catchy melodies and guitar playing akin to John Prine. Jeff’s bluesy, melodic, and tasteful guitar solos pay homage to Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Jerry Garcia. Jeff and his band have captivated audiences in Los Angeles and Orange County with his charming stage presence and energetic delivery, resonating with a timeless purity and enriched by his innate musical fluency.

Morgantown

Morgantown is a Los Angeles-based duo featuring singer/songwriters
Kendra Celise and Paige Shannon.
Celise and Shannon first crossed paths at a showcase curated by a mutual friend. Recognizing the synergy between their individual styles, they embarked on the collaborative journey that would give birth to Morgantown. The first song they wrote together, “The Door,” became their debut single, released November 30, 2023.
Morgantown is not just a musical duo; it’s a convergence of trust, talent, friendship, and a shared passion for honest lyrics and soul-stirring melodies. As their journey unfolds, listeners can anticipate an emotional and evocative musical experience that transcends the boundaries of genre.
Currently, you can find them either playing shows in the LA area or hard at work on their debut EP with producer Dan Kalisher.
