A recipient of the prestigious Keeping the Blues Alive Award from the The Blues Foundation in 2012, he was also inducted into both the Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations Hall of Fame and the Chicago Blues Hall of Fame in 2024. Through more than four decades of broadcasting, performing, and blues education, Ole Harv has become one of the Midwest’s most respected ambassadors of blues music.

Southside Denny (Denny Snyder) is an award winning blues guitarist, singer-songwriter, and composer whose career spans more than four decades. A recipient of the Ole Harv Award for Lifetime Promotion of Blues Music, he represented Indiana at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, earned third place at the Montréal Grand Prix de la Guitare, and has performed with or opened for legends including Ray Charles, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Luther Allison, and Taj Mahal. With 11 albums to his credit, Southside Denny continues to captivate audiences with his masterful guitar work and deep roots in the Chicago and Michiana blues traditions.

The Naghash Ensemble weaves together the earthy spirituality of Armenian sacred song, the richness of new classical composition and contemporary global influences.

Featuring three remarkable female vocalists alongside master instrumentalists on duduk, oud, dhol and piano, the ensemble performs original music by Armenian-American composer John Hodian inspired by the poetry of the 15th-century Armenian mystic and priest Mkrtich Naghash.

Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions yet shaped by a modern musical language, their work transcends cultural and stylistic boundaries, creating an experience that is both timeless and deeply moving. Blending folk traditions, classical form, and improvisational energy, The Naghash Ensemble offers audiences a powerful journey of sound, emotion, and connection across centuries and cultures.

Vocalist and storyteller Ana Everling crafts a sonic bridge between ancestral tradition and avant-garde expression, centering her work on the reclamation of a Romanian cultural heritage within the Republic of Moldova once targeted for systemic erasure.

Her research restores the voices of composers censored for expressing their Romanian identity too overtly, weaving their lost works into original compositions that pulse with modern improvisation and live vocal looping.
