SUMMARY:JAMES LEE STANLEY
DESCRIPTION:FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE\n \n“So where have they been hiding James Lee Stanley? We could say that James Lee Stanley is probably the last great undiscovered singersongwriter in America. But true as that may be let’s say something else. Let’s say that a diamond has been smuggled into the wasteland… and here is where the wasteland ends.”\n–  Tom Robbins\, Author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues\nIt is only a long lived singer-songwriter career that lets JAMES LEE STANLEY unite the unpredictable creativity and the eclectic elements that make up his world. His remarkable ability as a vocalist and composer allow him to create songs\, each recorded with a finely crafted backing that sonically enhance the impulse behind the lyric\, coupled with his outragously hilarious repartee. He is one of the few all time greats and undisputed geniuses among singer-songwriters. Fi Magazine listed his FREELANCE HUMAN BEING as “one of the finest recordings of 1998 and one of the Top 200 Recordings\nJAMES LEE STANLEY\, the true renaissance man\, was born into a musical family in Philadelphia\, PA\, and already performing and recording for LeGrand Records by the time he was fourteen. He majored in music at California State University\, did a stint in the Air Force as a chinese linguist\, performing three hundred dates a year with such diverse acts as BONNIE RAITT\, ROBIN WILLIAMS\, and CHICK COREA & RETURN TO FOREVER by the time he landed his second recording contract. James will be performing music from his newest recording  Alive at Last (his 31st release)\, plus some of his classics. \nhttp://www.jamesleestanley.com \n$17.50Read more	\n			\n \n

SUMMARY:THE BAREFOOT MOVEMENT
DESCRIPTION:Heartfelt\, energetic\, and down home. Heralded by CMT Edge as “one of the most promising bands on the bluegrass scene\,” the music of the Nashville based group The Barefoot Movement is as down to earth as their intention for members of their audience: sit back\, relax\, take your shoes off\, and stay a while. All the worries and frustrations of the world melt away as this charming\, acoustic band takes listeners back to a simpler place and time. Whether you’re seeking emotional ballads or rip-roaring barn-burners\, you can expect a collection of music that offers something for everyone. With two full length albums\, an EP of traditional music\, several cross-country tours\, and appearances at some of the top bluegrass festivals in the United States already under their belt\, the possibilities for this act are endless. The group has enjoyed almost non-stop touring including a trip to Burkina Faso\, Africa where they were guests of the American Embassy\, and in September of 2014\, they received a Momentum Award\, naming them “Band of the Year” by the International Bluegrass Music Association. \nTheir show is as fun to watch as it is to hear. The smiles on the faces of the band are obvious displays of the joy and excitement they feel when performing and the audience shares in the fun. With effortlessly executed transitions\, the pacing between the softer and more vigorous numbers constantly has fans on the edge of their seats. \nThe “movement” can be traced back to the teen years of singer-songwriter and fiddler Noah Wall\, of Oxford\, NC. Just as she had begun penning her first compositions\, she met mandolinist Tommy Norris their senior year of high school. Convinced of their musical chemistry and driven by mutual ambition\, they continued to build the band from the ground up throughout their college careers. While Tommy studied classical music and recording engineering at Western Carolina University\, Noah chose East Tennessee State\, particularly for their Bluegrass\, Old-time and Country Music Program. Here she began to shape her musical identity\, under the tutelage of ETSU’s renown staff\, and found an instrumental home in old time fiddling. With the addition of versatile guitarist and singer Alex Conerly of Hattiesburg\, MS in 2013\, and most recently\, Katie Blomarz of Frankfort\, IL on the upright bass\, the lineup was complete with all the elements that make up the Barefoot sound: lush harmonies\, thoughtful instrumentation\, and memorable melodies. \nIt has now been seven years since The Barefoot Movement took off their shoes and took to the stage. Hard work and talent have taken them from east coast to west\, from north to south\, and even across the Atlantic Ocean. They have appeared in Country Weekly Magazine\, RollingStone.com\, CMT Edge\, Music City Roots\, and Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour. Their original music was featured on the Outdoor Channel’s program “Huntin’ the World: Southern Style” and their music video for their popular song “Second Time Around” has been seen nationally on the Zuus Country Network. They have been selected as showcase artists at both the International Bluegrass Music Association and the Americana Festival conferences and were first runners up at the 2013 Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s New Band Competition. \nhttp://www.thebarefootmovementofficial.com \n$17.50Read more	\n			\n \n

SUMMARY:NE'ER DUWELS
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS— \nWhat do a Grammy award winning percussionist\, a prolific Irish bard and balladeer\, a master of the uilleann pipes\, and an indie producer/guitarist have in common? They are The Ne’er Duwels\, a formidable quartet of seasoned musicians who weave a seamless blend of traditional Irish music\, world rhythms and a sound distinctly their own. \nThe “real deal” from Ireland\, Ken O’Malley‘s rich\, resonant voice and engaging stage presence have delighted audiences for over 30 years. “He holds nothing back. Whether singing a passionate ballad\, playing a solo on the mandolin\, or explaining the gloriously sad history of Erin his homeland\, Ken O’Malley is all-in\, wide open to the world\, and as true as an arrow’s flight. Ken’s fine tenor voice could carry him through a show all alone\, but he backs himself beautifully on guitar and mandolin. . . .His wonderful wit and good humor draw us in and carry us along\, and the beauty of his songs\, both traditional and original\, fills us with irresistible joy.”\n \nJoining Ken onstage is Patrick D’Arcy\, also from Dublin\, one of the finest uilleann pipers in the United States. Patrick has toured extensively with many well known artists throughout the world and is also a talented pennywhistle and bodhran player. He is an expert on the culture and history of the Irish pipes and as such is a much sought after teacher and consultant. His work has been featured in many film\, television and live theatre productions and was a founding member of the band Flogging Molly.\n \nBryan Dobbs is the “sound” of the Ne’er Duwels. Originally from New Mexico\, Bryan adds the mysterious\, the romantic and the attack that traverses the musical spectrum\, accompanying on the mandolin\, the acoustic guitar or the very creative\, innovative sounds of his Fender Stratocaster. \nGrammy award winning percussionist Forrest Robinson provides the heartbeat of the ensemble. An alumni of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga\, Forrest has traveled the globe to perform with such artists as India Arie\, Victor Wooten\, Arrested Development\, TLC\, and many others. A lover of Celtic music and rhythms\, Forrest drives the rhythm that combines The Ne’er Duwels’ unique\, eclectic blend of traditional Irish music and song with a modern\, electronic edge. \nThe band began two years ago when Ken enlisted Bryan and Pat to join him for a weekend of shows in a casino near Las Vegas and it was there that the magic began. Later\, Forrest met Ken at one of his solo concerts\, another flame was lit and the four became the Ne’er Duwels. \nTheir debut album features traditional Irish music combined with the lush backing and textures of Bryan’s guitars\, locked in by the explosive nature of Forrest’s drumming with Pat’s whistles and pipes hauntingly woven throughout. Ken’s rich voice and solid guitar playing complete the sound that is the Ne’er Duwels. \nhttp://neerduwels.com \n$17.50Read more

SUMMARY:LAURIE LEWIS AND THE RIGHT HANDS
DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE—FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW \nLaurie Lewis and the Right hands were honored in 2016 by receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum\, who are featured in this group\, are widely regarded as being among the preeminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time. Since forming a musical partnership in 1986\, when Tom first joined Laurie’s acclaimed band\, Grant Street\, between them they have recorded over 20 albums and performed around the globe. These Grammy-nominated artists (for their 1995 album The Oak and the Laurel) are widely regarded as among the leading lights of modern bluegrass and are highly-prized by their peers as sidemen and producers. International Bluegrass Music Association executive director Dan Hays calls Laurie “one of the preeminent bluegrass and Americana artists of our time.” Acclaimed musician Sam Bush puts it more simply\, calling her “a great singer\, terrific fiddle player\, fine songwriter\, and one very good band leader.” Laurie also performed on both the Grammy-award winning\, 1997 IBMA album of the year True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe\, and the Grammy-nominated Ralph Stanley & Friends’ release Clinch Mountain Country. Featuring Patrick Sauber on banjo & guitar and anything else that has strings on it\, Bandon Godman from the great Bluegrass state of Kentucky on fiddle\, and Sam Grisman with his innovative and sensitive playing who grew up hearing the music of his father (another Grisman\, first name David) who was a strong infuence on him musically.  \n“It’s possible to be a strong female presence in the Bluegrass music world\, but you have to be really strong. Laurie is one of the greatest Bluegrass artists\, woman or man\, because of her consistency over decades\, the depth and width of her subject matter\, her commitment to the Bluegrass form\, and her technical command. Oh yes\, and her strength. Laurie’s strength manifests in many ways: her commanding presence on stage combined with an emotional vulnerability\, the truths in her lyrics\, her physical voice which transcends gender\, her strong commitment to causes and issues in which she deeply believes\, which all resonate with a respect for the land\, the natural world\, and human mercy and justice.” –– Darol Anger \n“A quintessential stylist who creates mandolin breaks with the same passion and precision Monet put into his brush strokes\, Tom Rozum ought to be recognized as a mandolinist of the first order.” –– Mandolin Magazine \n\nMain Page \n\n$20.00Read more

SUMMARY:TONY FURTADO FEATURING JOHN REISCHMAN & LUKE PRICE
DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE—FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW \nGenre-spanning multi-instrumentalist and 2x National Banjo champion Tony Furtado combines elements of folk\, blues\, bluegrass\, rock\, and a whole lot more into a potent Americana musical blend that explores our shared musical frontiers and traditions with fearless creativity. A prolific and adventuresome recording artist\, Furtado has recorded nearly 20 critically acclaimed albums since 1990. His recent album\, The Bell-winner of both the Album of the Year and Acoustic Rock Album of the Year awards in 2015 from the Indie Acoustic Project Awards\, was released on his own YousayFurtado Records in 2015\, as was an accompanying six-song EP\, Copper and Tin. Relix hit the nail on the head about Furtado and his boundary-stretching music: “True talent doesn’t need categories.” David Lindley calls Tony Furtado “a musical force without a doubt” and the two-time national banjo champion and peerless slide guitar master does indeed burn it down\, tonight performing with his superb trio featuring hot fiddle and upright bass. Tonight’s show also celebrates the release of Tony’s new CD Cider House Sessions – Live at Reverend Nat’s showing off his versatility and wide-ranging imagination which are on full\, vivid display. Tony’s highly anticipated live acoustic release draws from all phases and periods of his career. Tony will be joined on stage by Grammy winning mandolinist John Reischman and two time national fiddle champion Luke Price.  \n“Tony Furtado is a major musical force without a doubt. He has his black-belt in voice and bottleneck guitar and his banjo playing scares the crap out of me.” \n– David Lindley\, musical adventurer \nJohn Reischman is known today for his work with his band the Jaybirds and his acclaimed solo albums\, but he got his start as an original member of the Tony Rice Unit in the late 1970s. With the Tony Rice Unit\, Reischman helped define the “new acoustic music” movement in bluegrass thanks to their high profile albums on Rounder Records. Building this sound\, Reischman was of course influenced early on by Monroe’s mandolin playing\, but also by the playing of early bluegrass mandolinists like Sam Bush\, David Grisman\, and jazz mandolinist Jethro Burns. John Reischman is one of the premier mandolinists of his generation. He’s a master instrumentalist capable of swinging between re-inventions of traditional old-time tunes\, deconstructions from the bluegrass repertoire\, and compelling original tunes\, many of which have become standards.”He’s a master instrumentalist capable of swinging between re-inventions of traditional old-time tunes\, deconstructions from the bluegrass repertoire\, and compelling original tunes\, many of which have become standards.” \nhttp://www.tonyfurtado.com \nhttp://www.johnreischman.com \n$17.50Read more

SUMMARY:NATHAN MCEUEN & NATALIE GELMAN
DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE—FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW \nLive at Boulevard two modern day troubadours Nathan McEuen & Natalie Gelman with their original songs and great covers. Half of the night belongs to Natalie Gelman who performs across the country tirelessly and just released a new album with producers Charlie Midnight (James Brown) and Mark Needham (The Killers) titled Streetlamp Musician after a song she wrote about street performing and watching New York City change over time. \nRaised in the old West Village\, NYC stomping ground of songwriting greats\, Natalie Gelman grew up amidst artists and true bohemians. She borrowed a friends guitar at 16 and started writing songs on it immediately and began busking on subway platforms soon afterwards when she grew tired of pretending to be 21 to play clubs in the city. \nCaptivating tourists and straphangers alike in the subway\, Natalie stopped even the most hurried commuters in their tracks with her powerful voice. She continues to play what she calls her favorite stage while also performing at the House of Blues\, Webster Hall and festivals across the country. \nCompared to Sheryl Crow\, Jewel and Joni Mitchell\, Natalie’s music is contemporary and timeless. She writes honest\, heartfelt songs – responding to current affairs and revealing parts of her inner self with the world. “Not too much about her\, but somehow about me & everyone in the audience as well.” \n“Simply Terrific” 4/4 stars – The New York Post \nStarting his solo career in 2005; with the release of his first full length record “Grand Design\,” to present day\,  Nathan McEuen has written nearly 80 songs\, produced five full length records\, and has independently sold over 60\,000 CDs. The past 10 years has been a non-stop musical adventure filled with over 2\,000 live shows across the U.S.A.\, Canada & Europe with highlight performances including: The Grand Ole Opry (3 times)\, American Idol (w/ Steve Martin)\, The Tonight Show (w/ Hanna-McEuen)\, Music City Roots\, XM/Sirius Radio\, iTunes\, Yahoo.com’s Ram Country\, Voice of America Radio\, Woodsongs\, The Stagecoach Festival and climbing to a #1 spot on Amazon.com’s Americana chart with his collaborative effort “The McEuen Sessions.”\n      While growing up on the road and traveling around the world with his father John McEuen (of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)\, Nathan’s first big solo performance came at 14 years old when he was asked by his father to sing a song and play guitar at the Olympic Bid Party for the International Olympic Committee in downtown Salt Lake City\, on March 17\, 1995… for over 15\,000 people\, his face would be on a Jumbo Tron and that he was opening for John Denver.  It was this experience that would forever change his life…\n     Nathan had an early start on his star-studded career. Through the years he has had the good fortune to open for\, perform or work with various artists such as: John Carter Cash\, David Crosby\, Graham Nash\, Jim Messina\, Dave Mason\, Chris Hillman\, Dwight Yoakam\, Carrie Underwood\, Brad Paisley\, Lyle Lovett\, Avett Brothers\, Leon Russell\, Steve Martin\, John Oates\, Vassar Clements\, Kevin Nealon\, Willie Nelson\, John Denver\, David Grisman\,  to name a few…\n     With over 2\,500 live shows\, 20 years of touring\, and nearly 80 songs penned\, Nathan McEuen’s heritage\, passion for original music\, entertaining and performing is evident in every song\, and is best experienced through his live shows and on his newest record “Side by Side” (Mesa BlueMoon Recordings). \nhttp://nataliegelman.com \nhttp://www.nathanmceuen.com

DESCRIPTION:Sorry\, due to events regarding the Ventura and Ojai area fires\, this show will have to be rescheduled. Nathan and Natalie will look to reschedule at the beginning of the new year. Sorry for any inconvenience.\n \nLive at Boulevard two modern day troubadours Nathan McEuen & Natalie Gelman with their original songs and great covers. Half of the night belongs to Natalie Gelman who performs across the country tirelessly and just released a new album with producers Charlie Midnight (James Brown) and Mark Needham (The Killers) titled Streetlamp Musician after a song she wrote about street performing and watching New York City change over time. \nRaised in the old West Village\, NYC stomping ground of songwriting greats\, Natalie Gelman grew up amidst artists and true bohemians. She borrowed a friends guitar at 16 and started writing songs on it immediately and began busking on subway platforms soon afterwards when she grew tired of pretending to be 21 to play clubs in the city. \nCaptivating tourists and straphangers alike in the subway\, Natalie stopped even the most hurried commuters in their tracks with her powerful voice. She continues to play what she calls her favorite stage while also performing at the House of Blues\, Webster Hall and festivals across the country. \nCompared to Sheryl Crow\, Jewel and Joni Mitchell\, Natalie’s music is contemporary and timeless. She writes honest\, heartfelt songs – responding to current affairs and revealing parts of her inner self with the world. “Not too much about her\, but somehow about me & everyone in the audience as well.” \n“Simply Terrific” 4/4 stars – The New York Post \nStarting his solo career in 2005; with the release of his first full length record “Grand Design\,” to present day\,  Nathan McEuen has written nearly 80 songs\, produced five full length records\, and has independently sold over 60\,000 CDs. The past 10 years has been a non-stop musical adventure filled with over 2\,000 live shows across the U.S.A.\, Canada & Europe with highlight performances including: The Grand Ole Opry (3 times)\, American Idol (w/ Steve Martin)\, The Tonight Show (w/ Hanna-McEuen)\, Music City Roots\, XM/Sirius Radio\, iTunes\, Yahoo.com’s Ram Country\, Voice of America Radio\, Woodsongs\, The Stagecoach Festival and climbing to a #1 spot on Amazon.com’s Americana chart with his collaborative effort “The McEuen Sessions.”\n      While growing up on the road and traveling around the world with his father John McEuen (of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)\, Nathan’s first big solo performance came at 14 years old when he was asked by his father to sing a song and play guitar at the Olympic Bid Party for the International Olympic Committee in downtown Salt Lake City\, on March 17\, 1995… for over 15\,000 people\, his face would be on a Jumbo Tron and that he was opening for John Denver.  It was this experience that would forever change his life…\n     Nathan had an early start on his star-studded career. Through the years he has had the good fortune to open for\, perform or work with various artists such as: John Carter Cash\, David Crosby\, Graham Nash\, Jim Messina\, Dave Mason\, Chris Hillman\, Dwight Yoakam\, Carrie Underwood\, Brad Paisley\, Lyle Lovett\, Avett Brothers\, Leon Russell\, Steve Martin\, John Oates\, Vassar Clements\, Kevin Nealon\, Willie Nelson\, John Denver\, David Grisman\,  to name a few…\n     With over 2\,500 live shows\, 20 years of touring\, and nearly 80 songs penned\, Nathan McEuen’s heritage\, passion for original music\, entertaining and performing is evident in every song\, and is best experienced through his live shows and on his newest record “Side by Side” (Mesa BlueMoon Recordings).\n \nhttp://nataliegelman.com \nhttp://www.nathanmceuen.com

SUMMARY:JIM "KIMO" WEST + MARK LEGGETT
DESCRIPTION:Two fabulous fingerstyle players with an array of styles on the same bill. One a “Slack Key” guitar specialist and the other a fabulous fingerstyle/slide guitarist who melds the two seamlessly into fantastic arrangements.  \nSlack Key” means that some of the strings on a guitar are slacked from standard tuning\, with the bass\, melody\, and improvisation played at the same time\, and is often played to accompany traditional dance or song. Many players use their own special tunings that often remain proprietary secrets. Tonights show will feature this unique and beautiful style of playing.\nJim “Kimo” West first visited Hana\, Maui in 1985\, after a long summer on the road as guitarist for famed musical satirist\, “Weird Al” Yankovic. As the sounds of Gabby Pahinui\, the Sons of Hawai’i\, Sonny Chillingworth\, The Sunday Manoa\, and others\, played on the turntable\, he jammed along for fun and relaxation. Already a devotee of open tunings\, he was immediately drawn to the gentle rhythms of ki ho ‘alu (slack key guitar) and soon began writing his own songs. The rich physical and cultural landscape of the Hana Coast has provided the inspiration for many of his compositions.\nWhile always retaining the heartfelt essence of traditional slack key\, Jim “Kimo” West brings much of his own musical heritage to his original ki ho’alu instrumentals. His style can best be described as “nahenahe”\, meaning “soft\, sweet or gentle voice”\, a fusion of old and new but still rooted deeply in tradition.\nJim lives in Los Angeles where he writes and produces music which has appeared in feature films and TV shows on all the major networks and cable channels.\n“Jim West’s new recording continues his Slack Key explorations in his unique and beautiful style\, and in various tunings\, including two of his own invention\, further accentuating his own sound”\n— George Winston. pianist/ guitarist \nPlus on the same bill Mark Leggett\, an artist who spends most of his time doing film scoring\, making a rare appearance performing his original tunes and arrangements. Mark will be playing his fingestyle/slide arrangements of original and classic tunes. Twice Emmy nominated for his composing work\, Mark has written music for Levon Helm and The Band\, Dolly Parton’s films\, the tv show My Name is Earl\, and many others. We recently saw Mark perform at the Wiltern Theatre opening the show performing 3 songs solo for a screeening of Easy Rider done with a fabulous live band performing the original songs and incidental music accompanying the dialogue instead of the pre-recorded original songs and music. Mark’s arrangements of the three songs lead to the inevitable\, this guy needs to be heard and discovered by more people. A fantastic tasteful player. Don’t  miss him.\n \nhttp://www.jimkimowest.com \nhttp://www.markleggett.com \n

SUMMARY:DAVID GRIER—WORLD CLASS GUITARIST
DESCRIPTION:The last time Grier played out this way his beard was just a mere goatee\, see recent photo. That was a few years ago so don’t miss him. Check the dog in the picture. He isn’t sleeping he just got blown away by David’s playing. David is amazing\, one of the planets great flatpickers. Born in Washington\, D.C. in 1961\, a family move to Nashville at age 3 fully immersed David Grier into the bluegrass music world\, and at age 6\, he began playing the guitar. Today\, he is regarded as one of the premier acoustic guitarists in the world\, along with his early influences\, Doc Watson\, Tony Rice\, and family friend Clarence White. Recognized by Acoustic Guitar Magazine in 2000 as one of the Artists of the Decade\, and named Guitar Player of the Year three times by the International Bluegrass Music Association\, Grier has played on four Grammy Award-winning albums (True Life Blues: A Tribute to Bill Monroe; The Great Dobro Sessions; Alison Brown’s Fairweather; and Amazing Grace 2: A Country Salute to Gospel).Having released four albums on Rounder\, beginning in 1988 with Freewheeling\, Grier launched his own label\, Dreadnought Recordings\, with the 1998 debut release\, Hootenanny\, with Dirk Powell and Tim O’Brien (“endlessly inventive and tasteful” – All Music Guide). His most recent release\, Evocative (Dreadnought 2009)\, featuring 10 original tunes and a rich complement of collaborators (Victor Wooten\, Paul Franklin\, Stuart Duncan and more)\, has been hailed for its “deep musical introspection” as well as its “unmatchable mastery of the guitar” (Martin Mull). Other Dreadnought releases include the highly-acclaimed Live at the Linda (2007) and I’ve Got the House to Myself (2002) (“unfettered explosive invention” – Tim O’Brien).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelect Quotes\n\n\n\n“His unmatchable mastery of the guitar is ever present\, but it’s the emotional exploration of themusic as a whole that leaves a lasting impression. There is evidence everywhere of deep musical introspection: real soul-searching\, and\, I would have to say\, bravery.”~ Martin Mull\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n “David Grier is a willful\, accurate instrumentalist whose every note seems to run through a bright\, intelligent sieve. He maintains an unqualified standard of excellence in guitar playing\, always with a knack for unorthodox surprise.”\n~ Claire Lynch\n\n“Grier sculpts fascinating forms the way air and moisture combine to create billowing cumuli.”\n~Jazz Review\n\n“I’ve had the good fortune to see David Grier live several times\, and while I certainly delight in watching him play\, I especially like to watch folks who have never seen him live before. There’s this denial/acceptance cycle as they try to rationalize what they “know” to be possible with the guitar versus what their eyes and ears are experiencing. . . . And he does it in this self-effacing way that almost undercuts his musical inventiveness [and] preternatural skill.”\n~Chris Thiessen\, Flatpick Guitar Magazine\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttp://www.davidgrier.com \n\n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:THE WOOKS—BLUEGRASS FROM KENTUCKY
DESCRIPTION:Energetically honoring the sound of traditional bluegrass and mountain music\, with threads of singer-songwriter\, rock\, and jam band music woven throughout\, The Wooks are as at home on a festival stage as they are in a barn in the heart of Kentucky’s horse country.The Wooks: CJ Cain (guitar)\, Galen Green (mandolin)\, Arthur Hancock (banjo)\, Roddy Puckett (bass)\, and Jesse Wells (fiddle)\, were born over some 20 years time somewhere between a high school snack bar\, an Irish pub\, the radio waves\, and a festival jam circle.Inspired by legends and trailblazers like Crowe\, Whitley\, Simpson\, Bush\, Stapleton\, and Rice who cut their teeth on stages throughout the Bluegrass Region\, The Wooks translate the sights and sounds of the people\, hills\, bars\, roads\, and creeks around them into songs and shows that captivate.With both respect for their heritage and innovative originality\, The Wooks are the natural evolution of a sound that has always been there. \nWhat folks have said: \n    “The Wooks are not your average Wooks\, they are thoroughbred grazing in the bluegrass Wooks. On little circles\, these fellas really have done a fine job. Excellent pickin’\, singin’ and song selection is what you’ll get from the Wooks!”  \n— Ronnie McCoury\, the Del McCoury band / Travellin’ McCourys \n “I love the Wooks. with one foot in Kentucky bluegrass and the other in a galaxy far\, far away\, they are post modern grassers at heart\, delivering song after song full of infectious energy\, tremendous musicality and flat out joy.” \n— Alison Brown\, Compass records \nhttp://www.wookoutamerica.com

SUMMARY:THE NE'ER DUWELS
DESCRIPTION:What do a Grammy award winning percussionist\, a prolific Irish bard and balladeer\, a master of the uilleann pipes\, and an indie producer/guitarist have in common? They are The Ne’er Duwels\, a formidable quartet of seasoned musicians who weave a seamless blend of traditional Irish music\, world rhythms and a sound distinctly their own. \nThe “real deal” from Ireland\, Ken O’Malley‘s rich\, resonant voice and engaging stage presence have delighted audiences for over 30 years. “He holds nothing back. Whether singing a passionate ballad\, playing a solo on the mandolin\, or explaining the gloriously sad history of Erin his homeland\, Ken O’Malley is all-in\, wide open to the world\, and as true as an arrow’s flight. Ken’s fine tenor voice could carry him through a show all alone\, but he backs himself beautifully on guitar and mandolin. . . .His wonderful wit and good humor draw us in and carry us along\, and the beauty of his songs\, both traditional and original\, fills us with irresistible joy.”\n \nJoining Ken onstage is Patrick D’Arcy\, also from Dublin\, one of the finest uilleann pipers in the United States. Patrick has toured extensively with many well known artists throughout the world and is also a talented pennywhistle and bodhran player. He is an expert on the culture and history of the Irish pipes and as such is a much sought after teacher and consultant. His work has been featured in many film\, television and live theatre productions and was a founding member of the band Flogging Molly.\n \nBryan Dobbs is the “sound” of the Ne’er Duwels. Originally from New Mexico\, Bryan adds the mysterious\, the romantic and the attack that traverses the musical spectrum\, accompanying on the mandolin\, the acoustic guitar or the very creative\, innovative sounds of his Fender Stratocaster. \nGrammy award winning percussionist Forrest Robinson provides the heartbeat of the ensemble. An alumni of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga\, Forrest has traveled the globe to perform with such artists as India Arie\, Victor Wooten\, Arrested Development\, TLC\, and many others. A lover of Celtic music and rhythms\, Forrest drives the rhythm that combines The Ne’er Duwels’ unique\, eclectic blend of traditional Irish music and song with a modern\, electronic edge. \nThe band began two years ago when Ken enlisted Bryan and Pat to join him for a weekend of shows in a casino near Las Vegas and it was there that the magic began. Later\, Forrest met Ken at one of his solo concerts\, another flame was lit and the four became the Ne’er Duwels. \nTheir debut album features traditional Irish music combined with the lush backing and textures of Bryan’s guitars\, locked in by the explosive nature of Forrest’s drumming with Pat’s whistles and pipes hauntingly woven throughout. Ken’s rich voice and solid guitar playing complete the sound that is the Ne’er Duwels. \nhttp://neerduwels.com

SUMMARY:THE BABBAS—ANNIE SELLICK AND PAT BERGESON
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist and harmonica player Pat Bergeson and his wife\, jazz vocalist Annie Sellick appeared  at Boulevard Music as part of the “Hot Club of Nashville\,” one of Music City’s most popular musical groups. This show will spotlight these two fine artists with their own special show of classics and originals. \nNashville-native dread-locked jazz-vocalist Annie Sellick has performed and recorded with most of her heroes (including Joey DeFrancesco\, Bela Fleck and a Mark O’ Connor tour)\, enjoyed stardom in her hometown and toured nationally and internationally.  Annie recently toured all of December as a featured soloist with Tommy Emmanuel. Perhaps her best quality is the organic sincerity she exudes from the stage\, hooking an audience into the stories of the songs she sings. \nRounding out the duo\, Annie’s husband is as versatile a harmonica player as he is a guitarist.  Pat Bergeson moved to Nashville upon Chet Atkins’ request to join his band (He joined Atkins and Jerry Reed to record their album\, Sneakin’ Around) and has performed and recorded with a long list of chart toppers and cult favorites including tours with Lyle Lovett & Madeleine Peyroux. His versatility\, which encompasses jazz\, blues\, rock and finger style\, has led Bergeson to become a popular session musician for several well-known musicians\, including Michael McDonald\, Peter Frampton\, and Tommy Emmanuel. Pat is currently a member of Les Brers\, a new incarnation of the Allman Bros including original members Butch Truck and Jaimoe\,&  former members Oteil Burbridge and Jack Pearson. Pat also toured all of December with Tommy Emmanuel.  \nTogether\, Annie and Pat cover much musical ground with jazz standards\, soulful originals and cabaret classics. The pair brings a high level of skill\, confidence\, ease and charm to each show gaining fans and followers wherever they perform. The music is jazz-based with acoustic guitars\, harmonica and percussion but draws upon many styles creating a show that grooves\, soothes and tells stories. \n \nhttp://www.anniesellick.com/duo

SUMMARY:EVAN MARSHALL & PHIL BOROFF
DESCRIPTION:Tonight Boulevard Music presents two virtuosos on their respective instruments.\n Awesome mandolinist Evan Marshall with classic arrangements from Beatle tunes to Vivaldi.  What sounds like a small choir of mandolins playing bass lines\, chordal accompaniment\, and tremolo melodies is in fact nothing except Evan Marshall all by himself. Which would not mean much in this Age of the Overdub except for one astounding fact: Marshall plays all this music live\, at once\, on one mandolin\, with no overdubs at all. That’s four tiny pairs of strings and one flatpick\, plus a stray finger or ten.\n These feats of the impossible are something like what Chet Atkins did on guitar — Atkins\, in fact\, commended Marshall as “one of the few great musicians of our time.” \nPlus great flatpicker Phil Boroff who learned directly from flatpicking/bluegrass legend Clarence White. More tasty traditional guitar licks than you can imagine. A  phenomenal flatpicker as well as fingerstyle blues player and clawhammer/old-timey banjo player. \nhttp://www.evanjmarshall.com

Sligo Rags is taking the local and not-so-local Folk and Celtic music scenes by storm with a unique blend of eclectic musical influences. Dan Miller of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine says “These guys have it all–great vocals\, lots of energy\, captivating songs\, well executed arrangements\, and tasteful solos.” Their debut studio recording\, “The Night Before the Morning After”\, was called “the best I’ve heard from a stateside band” by Celtic Beat Magazine\, while their sophomore effort\, “The Whiskey Never Lies\,” (called “the best from the West Coast Celts in many years” by Shay Clark of the Irish-American News)\, was named one of the top 10 of 2007 by Folkworks. Don’t be surprised if elements of country\, gypsy jazz and swing manage to sneak their way into the act as well. Award-winning flatpicking and fingerstyle guitarist David Burns (recently featured in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine)\, fiddler extraordinaire Michael Kelly\, and world-renowned bassist Eli Marcus are guaranteed to fill the room and your lives with electricity. They may give you a good laugh or two along the way as well. \n“Sligo Rags have mastered the ability to take songs from a time gone by and make them fresh and relevant for a modern audience. Their passion for the music and their willingness to take risks combine for an outstanding live show.”–Music Connection \nhttp://www.sligorags.com

SUMMARY:GRAMMY AWARD WINNING GUITARIST ED GERHARD
DESCRIPTION:Performing on 6-string\, 12-string\, slide guitar or Acoustic Hawaiian Lap Slide\, Gerhard captivates his audiences with virtuosity\, generosity and sly humor.  Known for his gorgeous tone and compositional depth\, Gerhard can move a listener with a single note.  Scott Alalrik of the Boston Globe said it best when he wrote ‘Gerhard does not write instrumentals.  He writes songs only a guitar can sing. \nGerhard’s relationship with the guitar began at age 10\, when he happened upon classical guitar master Andrés Segovia on TV. “I’d heard all the pop music on the radio and maybe a little of that 60’s folk stuff\, but this was the first time I’d ever heard the guitar all by itself and the sound just instantly got me\,” he remembers. Ed finally got his first guitar at 14. His initial interest in classical guitar changed dramatically when he heard the music of bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. He quit lessons after the third one. He took some informal lessons with friends and learned by ear\, slowing down LPs to half-speed to pick out the tricky parts. At fifteen\, Ed was already beginning to perform in local church basement coffeehouses\, playing solo and jamming with friends. \nIn 1977 Gerhard moved to New Hampshire where he has resided ever since. Joining a thriving folk and acoustic music scene proved invaluable for the young guitarist. “There seemed to be no limitation on places to play back then\, or more importantly\, what you could play” says Ed. “You could play anything you wanted as long as people stayed around and drank.” When Gerhard was not performing solo he could often be seen sitting in with other musicians. “I loved to play\, it didn’t matter if I was solo or sideman.” During this period Ed began composing and arranging music for solo guitar\, using a staggering array of alternative guitar tunings. \nBased truly on the quality of his work\, Ed built his considerable reputation\, beginning with his debut album “Night Birds” in 1987. It garnered a spot in the Boston Globe Critics Poll Top 10 Albums of the Year.” Shortly after the album’s release\, Windham Hill Records included Ed on its Guitar Sampler (Vol.1). One of the highlights of the three hundred thousand unit selling Sampler\, “The Handing Down” introduced the world to the beauty of Ed Gerhard’s music. “That one piece made me a lot of friends around the world\,” Ed says. \nEd has released his ninth CD “There and Gone.” He was awarded a GRAMMY® for his inclusion on the CD “Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar.” Warner Brothers\, MelBay and Hal Leonard have all released Ed Gerhard’s music in books. His guitar work can be heard on recordings by Arlo Guthrie\, Jorma Kaukonen\, Bill Morrissey  and in the Ken Burns films “Mark Twain” and “ The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” \nEd’s CD “Luna” is featured in Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s 20th Anniversary list of the “240 Essential Albums.” “This soulful album of original compositions rich in melody\, chordal complexity and stylistic variety proves why Gerhard is considered to have the most exquisite acoustic guitar tone on the planet.” -Acoustic Guitar Magazine \nAlong with players like Ben Harper and David Lindley\, Gerhard’s unique approach to the Weissenborn (an acoustic Hawaiian lap slide guitar) is playing a significant role in reinvigorating interest in this somewhat esoteric but beautiful instrument. Ed’s style of Weissenborn playing is unique in that he composes and arranges music for solo Weissenborn with beautiful melodies\, complex chords and moving basslines\, unusual for an instrument that normally serves an accompaniment role. Ed is featured in the book “Lap Steel Guitar” alongside legendary players like Greg Leisz\, David Lindley\, Jerry Byrd and more. \nhttp://www.virtuerecords.com
