The Ohio Artist Registry (OAR) is an exciting opportunity for artists to share their work, connect with the creative community, and establish an online presence—all on a free, virtual platform! The OAR encourages artists working in all art forms, throughout Ohio and beyond, to create a profile, which allows them to better promote themselves and their work. Being listed in the OAR provides artists with new opportunities to share their work with clients, galleries, patrons, and audiences. A listing in the OAR does not confer an endorsement, approval, or verification by the Ohio Arts Council.
For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Karen Bridges
Singer/Songwriter Stone & SnowBio
“The band’s multi-genre sound pulls from folk, indie rock, swing and soul — somehow stitching it all together seamlessly…” –Elle Mannion, NPR Music
Twice-named “best of” in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, Cincinnati-based songwriters Karen Bridges and Clint Thomson are the heart of a genre-bending Americana band with close harmonies, thoughtful lyrics, and a name that invokes mighty mountain landscapes– Stone & Snow.
Karen and Clint are passionate about elevating women in music. Through their work as live concert presenters hosting performances for women-led artists, collecting data on the gender balance in their local scene, and Karen’s involvement in the “Girls Rock!” franchise, Stone & Snow is invested in seeing more women grow and thrive in the music industry.
Delicate and Wild (2023) was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer David Mayfield. Delicate and Wild’s lead single “Moonrise” is a beautifully simple, yet haunting love song to the moon, while “Cruel” (named a top entry in the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest) acts as a soulful response of “oh yes, I know” to the phrase “it’s not you, it’s me”. The album also includes the hopeful hook “we’re gonna be alright” on “Wait”, the last song they would write before the pandemic hit, as well as an honest look back on the years of a marriage that collapsed during that time with “The Hardest Part of Loving You.” Stone & Snow has self-produced and released five studio albums to-date.
