Featuring performances by:

Erik Reece is the author of Lost Mountain: a Year in the Vanishing Wilderness, a groundbreaking work of literary nonfiction that exposes how radical strip mining is destroying one of America's most precious natural resources and the Appalachian communities that depend on it. He teaches writing at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. His work appears in Harper's, Orion, and The Oxford American, among other publications. He was the recipient of the Sierra Club's David R. Brower Award, and his Harper's story on which Lost Mountain is based won the Columbia University School of Journalism's 2005 John B. Oakes Award for Distinguished Environmental Journalism.

Doug Van Gundy is the author of A Life Above Water, a collection of poems that examines both the natural and human worlds and explores the boundaries between the two. Van Gundy is also an accomplished fiddler, with an old-time Appalachian style and repertoire particular to his native West Virginia.

Singer/songwriter Sarah Elizabeth recorded her newest album, Don't Die Yet, immediately upon returning from the Sacred Black Hills of South Dakota where she spent a great deal of time on the Sioux Reservation. An accomplished solo artist and multimedia collaborator, Sarah was also the keynote speaker and featured performer at Ohio University's 8th Annual Women of Appalachia Conference in 2006.
