Lauri Manner (b. 1983, Suomussalmi, Finland) started out in the 90's playing bass in punk bands. He started his autodidactic journey in fingerpicking acoustic guitar in 2015 after obsessively listening to John Fahey records for years, found solace and meaning from doing that and made his debut recording as Kadonnut Manner ("The Lost Continent") in 2017, with 4 albums of his own compositions now published. Lauri currently resides up on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi and intends to keep on making music and touring no matter how bad the state of the world gets.

Edgars Rubenis (b. 1983, Riga, Latvia) got involved with acoustic guitar and seemingly old-sounding music in 2020. Up till then he had defined himself through experimental rock in Mona de Bo and a string of long-form pieces in the field of contemporary composition.
His acoustic guitar trilogy "Pains And Boogies" is published by dis ce que in the Netherlands.

Kalle Tikas (b. 1974, Tallinn, Estonia) has been on his musical journey since the beginning of the 1990's playing blues rock and prog rock. In the 2000's he got involved in various free improv collaborations, also composing music for contemporary theatre performances. 2015 marked the beginning of his journey into the avant blues world – together with avantgarde singer Eleonora Kampe they formed a duo called Ringhold. Ringhold presented a new and independent way of playing electric blues. “Painted Storm” - the track contributed to this album is Kalle's first work on acoustic guitar.
