Meet Colin Healy, and Caroline Mauck. Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia the two grew up with a foundation and love for music which helped to drive their passions as musicians. Colin and Caroline attended high school together, and after years of pursuing music in different directions, they were reconnected at a local spot in their hometown. They collaborated on several covers, turning them into duets and adding a unique spin to songs of other artists’ perspectives. From there, they began co-writing their own original songs, growing together in lyrics, sound, and performance. What started as two individual solo artists, has since emerged the Acoustic Folk duo of “Colin & Caroline”.

Colin & Caroline’s heart-warming harmonies, original lyrics, and blend of creative covers first grabbed the attention of many in Central Virginia alone. Several of their original songs (including “More Than Gravity”, “Fireflies, and “Like Home”) have been featured on popular playlists curated by Spotify, which has spread the presence of Colin & Caroline worldwide. “More Than Gravity” has received over 10 million plays since its addition to Spotify’s Afternoon Acoustic playlist, and several of their songs have been featured in television series around the globe. Colin & Caroline look forward to continuing to grow as artists, and sharing their music with audiences both new and old.

Throwing Plates
Combining heartfelt singer/songwriter roots with folk-­rock grit, Throwing Plates is becoming a regular act among many venues in the Washington area. Created by three gifted musicians and songwriters, the Washington DC based group aptly incorporates fresh musical thinking with memorable melodies.

Throwing Plates was founded by James Britton, Jamie Boyd, and Doug Imhoff; the three crossed paths while performing in DC showcases. Mutually impressed by their talents, they soon began writing songs together. Over the past four years Throwing Plates has independently booked and performed over 250 shows and have received awards from the Songwriters Association of Washington and Mid­-Atlantic Songwriting Contest.
