Grammy Award Winner,
David Grier, is the most award-winning guitarist in recent memory. For
the past several years, he has been voted by the members of the
International Bluegrass Music Association as Best Guitar Player of the
Year. He has also appeared on two Grammy- winning recordings: True Life
Blues-A Tribute to Bill Monroe and The Great Dobro Sessions. David
is also included in the book, 1,000 Great Guitarists. His inspiration to

1960s. http://www.davidgrier.com |

The Sundogs

From 1985 to 2001, The Sundogs, frolicked and rolicked across the U. S. and Europe performing their fiery brand of music aptly labeled "Swamp Beat Boogie". While sharing festival and concert stages with such notables as Beausoliel, The Neville Brothers, Doug Kershaw, Taj Mahal, Maria Muldaur, and many others, these dogs garnered rave reviews from their higher-than-high energy sets and their brilliant body of recorded work.AND NOW THEY'RE BACK! Critics have exclaimed, "There's nothing like a live Sundogs show to get the feet dancing and the sweat pouring". So, come early, hydrate, and wear proper athletic attire. Come early for louisiana dinner special. |

Incendio with Joe Craven
|
|
|
Incendio in both
Italian and Spanish means "fire" and this moniker is fitting for a musical
group whose sound is all about energy, exploration, and passion. At the heart
of Incendio 's sound is the Latin or Spanish guitar which can conjure up
romantic as well as powerful and bold images. The core group, made up of Jim
Stubblefield (guitar), Jean-Pierre Durand (guitar/guitar
synthesizer), Liza Carbe' (bass), Joe Shotwell (drums/percussion)
and Nicole Falzone (drums/percussion) refers to their music as "Latin
Guitar World Fusion" which yields to the listener a strong mix of songcraft
and improvisation couched in a variety of musical contexts.

The Mitguards /Sherry
Austin and Friends |
|
 |
|
|
The
Mitguards, a husband and wife team consisting of Chris (guitar,
banjo and vocals) and Deb (mandolin and vocals), hail from Manitou
Springs, Colorado and play a hybrid of American roots music that includes
traditional folk, country, swing, blues and bluegrass. Chris is the songwriter,
crafting strong story lines that cast an unflinching eye on the world around,
unlike the nostalgic view taken by many acts. His influences range from Hank
Williams and Johny Horton, to Mississippi John Hurt. Deb's
influences range from Joni Mitchell to Del McCoury. They have
just finished their second album, Ridin' with the one I love. In live
performances they play hard and always aim at the hearts of their audience.

Featuring stellar vocals, their entrancing sound is built on the interweaving of up to four part vocals with lyrical instrumental accompaniment. They have several CDs available, including The Starlit Jewel, which features songs from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. The members of the group, Margaret Davis, Karl Franzen, Kristoph Klover, and Kris Yenney all perform in other settings in addition to Broceliande, ranging through opera, string quartets, Celtic bands, jazz, folk groups and progressive electric bands!www.broceliande.org/ |

Paul Geremia plus Eric
& Suzy Thompson |
|
|
For forty years, Paul
Geremia has survived solely by the fruit of his musical labors. Having
abandoned all other means of support in 1966, he has been traveling far and
wide ever since throughout the U.S.A. , Canada and Europe . In the years since,
Geremia has built a reputation as a first rate bluesman, songwriter, a
"scholar" of early blues, and one of the best country blues fingerpickers ever
with his tools - six and twelve-string guitars, harmonica and a husky soulful
voice - and with an innate sense of the humor as well as the drama of the
music, he keeps traditional blues fresh and alive with his performances.
Combining his interpretation of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Blind
Willie McTell, Scrapper Blackwell and Blind Blake, with his original
compositions, he has created a style which is very much his own and which has
received accolades in the U.S.A. and Europe, too numerous to mention.
