Rootstock Festival is pumped to announce our 2012 line-up of indie singer-songwriters from the famed Hotel Cafe family of artists! Returning to the main stage was the fiercely independent and self-aware "loudmouth" Jim Bianco, whose songs "expose, embarrass and offend ex-girlfriends, future girlfriends, fellow singer/songwriters and, most notably, himself." Joining Bianco were singer-songwriters Holly Conlan, Jesse Thomas and Javier Dunn. (We’ve posted a selection of featured videos below showcasing the talent our artists brought to the stage at Santa Rosa Vintners’ Square!)

More artist scoop: Los Angeles singer-songwriter and pianist Holly Conlan is a surefooted indie-pop artist who has shared the stage with the likes of Colbie Caillat, Katy Perry, Cary Brothers and Butch Walker. Conlan will take a break from recording her third studio album to join us in Sonoma wine country. Singer-songwriter Jesse Thomas is a “redheaded firecracker” from Kentucky, whose "whiskey soaked soul drips into every song she sings." She'll be performing songs from her recently released first full-length album War Dancer. Javier Dunn, known equally for his awe-inspiring lyrics and guitar playing (he's also lead guitarist for singer-songwriter and pianist sensation Sara Bareilles), will feature songs from his new EP Small Spaces.http://hotelcafe.com/http://jimbianco.com/http://jimbianco.com/http://www.hollyconlan.com/http://www.iamjessethomas.com/http://www.facebook.com/javierdunnhttp://www.facebook.com/javierdunnshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1shapeimage_1_link_2shapeimage_1_link_3shapeimage_1_link_4shapeimage_1_link_5shapeimage_1_link_6
