every turn... exudes a brand of humane charm that sets him apart from every other songwriter you’ll see this year.”
- Club Passim
“Dersham’s lyrics are fiercely honest, wonderfully literate, and a full-on challenge
to our current state of indifference.” ~ -Karl Meyer, environmental journalist, award-winning children’s author. Click here to RSVP

“There is no possible way to listen to Rj Cowdery’s music
and not feel deeply. The tone of her voice, the clarity of her guitar and spot on emotive lyrics plumb the depths of human
hope and struggle. These are not just songs, they are arrows shot directly to center of the heart”. ~ Joe
Crookston
RJ has racked up major songwriting awards (Kerrville New Folk, Mountain Stage NewSong, Wildflower! Arts and Music,
and runner up at Rocky Mountain Folks Festival) and fans from across the country with her heartfelt lyrics and tender voice.
