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.

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

SUMMARY:MISS TESS AND THE TALKBACKS
DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE—FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW \n“A rare mix of jazz-infused old-time country\, swing\, and rockabilly” – Pulse Magazine \n“I don’t know of anyone else right now touring in the Americana scene that has such an eclectic\, jazzy\, old school and interesting vibe. There’s an authenticity present in Miss Tess’ music. It is not contrived\, not too far a stretch for the skeptical imagination. She is real. And she is rare.”  – No Depression \nMiss Tess got her musical start at home in Maryland\, her childhood nights ending in music. Her parents would sing her to sleep with the gentle\, tender sounds of American folk songs\, occasionally interrupted by their 30s swing band rehearsing in the basement. Tess studied piano as a child\, and continued on as a teenager to take up the guitar and singing\, and eventually began her own studies in early jazz and blues. All grown up and currently living in Nashville\, Miss Tess and her band regularly steal the show at venues with something a little rowdier and more eclectic. Infused with classic country and honky-tonk\, southern rhythm & blues\, New Orleans jazz and swing\, and sounds of swamp pop and early rock n’ roll\, she is an embodiment of everything that it still home-grown in America. Enjoyable is just what her music is\, propelled by the classic quality of Tess’s vocals\, compelling and totally believable.  \nA follow up to 2012’s Sweet Talk and 2013’s The Love I Have for You\, both released on Signature Sounds Recordings\, Baby\, Tess released We All Know independently and received accolades in the press as well as reaching the Top 20 in AMA Radio Charts and being included in the top 100 albums of the year for 2016. The production throughout is the right balance of punch and rhythm\, without getting in the way of the vocals or songwriting\, giving this collection of songs a plentiful dose of old-school swagger.  \n“Miss Tess renders original songs with a self-possession and naturalness that heralds one of the most enjoyable albums this year.” –Downbeat \nhttp://www.misstessmusic.com \n$15.00Read more

DESCRIPTION:THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE ONLINE—FOR TICKETS CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW \n“Rey is one of the greatest modern players of the metal-bodied resonator guitar.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine\n“Whilst known for her amazing instrumental skills … it should not be overlooked that she always provides a very entertaining show\, full of variety\, drama and humour.”  Blues In Britain\n“Del Rey is one of the most sublime modern guitarists. “ La Hora del Blues Barcelona\nDel Rey started playing guitar when she was four. At the age of thirteen she was introduced to the world of traditional acoustic music\, when she and a friend stumbled into a concert at Folk Arts Rare Records in San Diego. About 20 people were sitting on the floor under the record bins listening to a kid named Tom Waits play his original songs.\nLou Curtiss\, proprietor of Folk Arts and artistic director of the San Diego Folk Festival suggested that she quit wasting her time playing “Stairway to Heaven” and listen to some Memphis Minnie. She soaked up country blues\, stride piano\, classic jazz and hillbilly boogie.\nThirty years later\, she became fascinated with the ukulele and plays the same kind of complicated rhythmic blues and ragtime on four strings as on six.\n“The ‘ukulele taken to a new level of musicianship”.      (John Book)\nDel will conduct a Ukulele Blues Party Workshop from 3:30-5pm. Jugband and blues songs orchestrated for the ukulele\, with playing and singing parts for several levels of player.

SUMMARY:STEPHEN BENNETT—HARP GUITARIST
DESCRIPTION:One of the most prolific and original finger-style guitarists of his generation\, Stephen Bennett is also a leading exponent of the harp guitar. A challenging teacher\, a gifted composer\, and a performer of great sensitivity\, the Toronto Finger-Style Guitar Association once referred to him as “the Jedi Master of Finger-style Guitar”. \nStephen has performed around the world\, shared the stage with some of the finest guitarists there are\, and created a body of work that is respected (and loved) in many places. \nFrom America: “Stephen’s music draws the listener in. He has the ability to make you feel as though you are a part of the music he is making.”\n From France: “Stephen’s compositions are so beautiful\, filled with great emotion and great sensitivity. He is one of those musicians who serve the music\, and only the music.”\n From Italy: “When I first heard him playing a few years ago\, I felt like I had been pushed into a different world\, where the lost emotions come back to your heart and make it beat in a different way. What Stephen can do\, and few artists have this gift\, is to speak directly to your heart and to move your best feelings!” \nHe is the founder of the Harp Guitar Gathering\, an annual event that brings players\, luthiers\, scholars and fans of this instrument together for a weekend of performances\, workshops and camaraderie. The 16th annual Harp Guitar Gathering takes place in Connecticut October 12-14\, 2018. \nWhatever guitar he happens to be playing\, in live performance or on recordings\, Stephen’s life-long love affair with the sound of guitar strings is apparent – and contagious! \nhttp://harpguitar.com

SUMMARY:JIM KWESKIN
DESCRIPTION:Jim Kweskin is probably best known as a singer and bandleader. He also created one of the bedrock guitar styles of the folk revival\, adapting the ragtime-blues fingerpicking of artists like Blind Boy Fuller to the more complex chords of pop and jazz. He has maintained a remarkably consistent musical vision since his jug band days\, continuing to explore traditional folk and blues with the sophisticated sensibility of a jazz musician and jazz with the communal simplicity of a folk artist. He has recorded solo ventures\, as a member of the U and I band\, and with U and I bandmate Samoa Wilson\, and continues to perform widely in various formats. In recent years he and Geoff Muldaur have often appeared as a duo\, revisiting and expanding on their Jug Band repertoire. Tonight Jim will be accompanied by harmonica and bass.\n \n“The rock historian Ed Ward went so far as to place the Kweskin Band alongside the Beatles\, the Rolling Stones and the Byrds as that period’s most influential groups.” – Alex Ward\, The New York Times \n“When it came to jug band music\, razzmatazz jazz\, and swinging spins on Piedmont blues back in the ’60s\, Jim Kweskin was top dog. Jim Kweskin’s famed Jug Band hot-wired an entire movement that still has a certain impact on the folk scene today.” – Jim Macnie\, The Providence Phoenix \nhttp://www.jimkweskin.com

SUMMARY:BERNIE PEARL WITH MIKE BARRY
DESCRIPTION:The blues is life itself to Bernie Pearl. A guitarist with an upbeat\, finger-poppin’ picking style he learned at the elbows of bluesmasters Sam ‘Lightnin’ Hopkins\, Mance Lipscomb\, Mississippi Fred MacDowell\, and others. Yet\, Bernie Pearl is no hidebound traditionalist. As music critics and aficionados have said for years\, he is a craftsman who packs his songs with melodic interpretations that are new and personal each time he picks up his vintage Martin or National. To hear him tell it\, “I’m not a retro player. I’m playing real blues for right now.” \nBernie\, who grew up in the Los Angeles community of Boyle Heights\, took up the guitar in the 1950’s. Later\, at his brother’s legendary blues showcase\, the Ash Grove\, he met\, studied with\, and often performed with greats like Hopkins\, Lipscomb\, and MacDowell as well as with Freddie King\, Albert Collins\, and Big Mama Thornton. Bernie played duets with John Lee Hooker at Gerde’s Folk City in Greenwich Village. “They were my teachers\,” he says\, “and it wasn’t just music they were teaching. If you took Mance or Lightnin’ out fishing you got philosophy\, history\, and lessons in life”. \nArmed with the teachings of those and other blues icons\, Bernie raises the roof with dazzling guitar solos – acoustic and electric – and with his own Bernie Pearl Blues Band\, which has backed the likes of B.B. King\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, Willie Dixon\, and Big Joe Turner. The Bernie Pearl Blues Band has been a popular draw at many of Southern California’s best-known musical haunts: the House of Blues\, California Plaza Presents\, the Blue Café\, Disney’s California Adventure\, and the Playboy Pasadena Community Jazz Festival. Bernie has appeared at major Festivals in Chicago\, The Poconos\, Vancouver\, Portland\, and Long Beach\, as well as in Europe. \nA life-long blues evangelist\, Bernie began broadcasting Nothin’ But the Blues on KPPC FM in 1968\, making him L.A.’s first all-blues FM disc jockey. He went on to host the blues on KLON and KCRW from 1980-92\, helping found the Long Beach Blues Festival along the way. \nHis 15-year relationship with Louisiana blues man Harmonica Fats produced three outstanding CDs\, with the unplugged Two Heads Are Better and Blow\, Fat Daddy\, Blow\, each garnering W.C. Handy nominations in the mid-1990’s. Tonight Pearl shares the stage with bassist/producer Mike Barry who is a perfect match to set the groove for the tunes they perform. \nBernie applied his studio skills as a producer and songwriter-arranger of jazz-rocking violin pioneer Papa John Creach’s critically-acclaimed 1992 Papa Blues CD (Bee Bump BBCD 03). \nAs president of Big Time Blues Productions\, Pearl was named national “Blues Promoter of the Year” by the Blues Foundation in 1987\, and he continues to book\, promote\, advertise\, and oversee blues acts at annual events such as the Big Time Blues Festival and the Blues Harmonica Blowdown. He has taught blues history and blues guitar courses at several area universities\, and continues to teach at Cal State Long Beach\, as well as privately. \nHis first solo CD\, released in August 2002\, was recorded in an all-acoustic concert at Culver City’s Boulevard Music and is appropriately titled Bernie Pearl Live From Boulevard Music (Major Label ML 011-CD). \nFor music lovers tired of market-tested commercial radio and industry-buffed overnight phenoms\, Pearl provides virtuosity\, country wisdom\, a warm voice\, and the kind of fingerpicking and slide guitar work that still gets juke-joints jumping. \n“…Pearl’s music and voice evoke the unpretentious\, truth-telling qualities of the blues. The sparse arrangements that grace this 15-song set only heighten the soulful and spiritual nature of the music. Pearl’s guitar virtuosity is evident\, whether he’s playing lead\, rhythm\, or slide guitar…his version of (Son House’s) Shetland Pony Blues would make the old master proud” \nStephen A. King\, Living Blues Magazine \n“Making blues music draws from someplace deep\,” he says. “I’m lucky. It’s what I do.” \nhttp://www.berniepearl.com

SUMMARY:SOURDOUGH SLIM
DESCRIPTION:Sourdough Slim rekindles the country blues\, cowboy classics and popular jazz standards of pre-WWII America. Whether he’s vamping the haunting refrain of a Jimmie Rodgers blue yodel or stomping out a hot novelty rave-up\, the fun this cutup has on stage inevitably spills out into the audience. A well traveled veteran of stages ranging from the National Cowboy Gathering in Elko to The Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York and The Prairie Home Companion\, this modern day vaudevillian has captured a sound and moment in time that resonates well with audiences young and old alike.  He has a provocative array of period instruments including: accordion\, guitar\, baritone ukulele\, and harmonica. Highly musical. Highly campy. Highly entertaining to all ages. \nhttp://sourdoughslim.com

SUMMARY:BEPPE GAMBETTA
DESCRIPTION:Beppe Gambetta performing a concert of American Roots Music with European Passion. From his unique background as an Italian musician in love with both American roots music as well as the music of his native country\, Beppe has travelled the world and even crossed the “Iron Curtain” to dazzle and charm music enthusiasts everywhere. After eleven CDs\, DVDs\, teaching books and collaborations with many other top-flight musicians\, Gambetta is increasingly known as one of the true live master innovators of the acoustic guitar. \nWhile Beppe still lives in his native Genova\, he travels to North America at least three times each year. His reputation in the U.S. and Canada is reinforced by his participation in prestigious festivals like the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield\, Kansas\, Merlefest in North Carolina\, the Four Corners Festival in Colorado and Canadian Folk Festivals in Winnipeg and Edmonton\, as well as events like the radio shows “All Things Considered” and “E-Town”. Beppe has performed in prestigious rooms like the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville\, Tennessee and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In his career he has performed with some great heroes of the folk scene like David Grisman\, Gene Parsons\, Doc Watson\, Norman Blake and with the band Men Of Steel: an international guitar summit (Dan Crary\, Tony McManus and Don Ross) of different guitar schools with complex musical interactions. In a world dominated by the trends and logic of the market Gambetta’s playing and singing stand out for their intimate emotions\, communication\, research in tone\, sobriety and humour. An inspired music that modestly avoids relying solely on his high level of technical excellence\, but also reveals the innermost feelings of a brilliant\, playful mind that is always exploring and innovating while staying firmly routed in tradition. \nWith America in his heart and his roots in the sun and the olive trees of the Mediterranean sea\, he naturally and seamlessly bridges the shores of the two continents\, creating in spite of the interposed ocean a musical “koiné” (fusion) where American root music and Ligurian tradition\, emigration songs and folk ballads\, steel string guitars and vintage harp guitars not only co-exist but interact\, weaving a deep dialog unaware of any rigid classification. \nhttp://www.beppegambetta.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
