PRESENTED WITH SNAZZY PRODUCTIONS - FC Cosponsored Show
AT MICHAEL'S ON MAIN
2591 Main St, Soquel, CA 95073, Reservations online or call 831 479 9777Martha Scanlan & Jon Neufeld: Anyone familiar with Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld's unique alchemy on stage will not be surprised by the sense of being taken into the moment their shows are in and of themselves a journey of improvisation; the way Jon Neufeld's brilliant innovative guitar playing weaves effortlessly around Martha's timeless songwriting is simply magical. They met playing together at Portland's Indie Roots festival Pickathon in 2010, shortly before recording Tongue River Stories, a beautifully stark album of field recordings captured on film at the 120-year-old family ranch where Martha was living and working in a remote corner of south east Montana. After touring with the innovative old-time string band Reeltime Travelers, Martha recorded her debut solo album The West Was Burning at Levon Helm's barn in Woodstock, New York with Dirk Powell and Levon and Amy Helm, it was heralded as an instant classic, one of those rare albums that defies genre and generation. After Tongue River Stories came The Shape Of Things Gone Missing, The Shape Of Things To Come, recorded in Portland with members of Black Prairie and The Decemberists. A featured album by World Cafe's David Dye and No Depression's Amos Perrine. https://www.facebook.com/marthascanlanmusic
Will Fourt & Sheila Golden are an acoustic duo out of the Santa Cruz Mountains. They bring a little swing, a little bluegrass, and some good old fashion folk and they write a lot of songs. In 2016 they made an album, Mendocino Paintings, produced by Jim Lewin. They play festivals with their full bluegrass band, The Down Beets. https://willandsheila.bandcamp.com

Andy began singing acapella doo-wop in 1962 in the 6th grade with his singing pals Louie and Pablo on the Brooklyn street corners, hallways, bathrooms, anyplace they could find an echo. Across the long journey, music has been his ever-present wingman. Music of the 60's, Woodstock, arriving in Santa Cruz in 1971 and latching on to Classic & Outlaw Country, Rockabilly tunes and the KFAT sound has been Andy's sweet spot, apparent in his live performances and his weekly Brooklynbilly Music Mashup radio show on KSQD 90.7FM every Tuesday 11am-1pm, tune into 90.7FM or stream over the web at www.ksqd.org .
Andy Fuhrman and His Fabulous Friends will stick with the game plan mashing up these genres with band members taking turns singing lead and backup vocals. From the ever lovely voices of Rachel Goodman and Laurie Patton, to the Dylanesque sound of Dan Frechette, this will be a memorable evening. www.andyfuhrman.com
