SUMMARY:ADAM MILLER—FINGERSTYLE GUITAR GREAT
DESCRIPTION:Approaching his guitar as if each of its six strings were a separate instrument\, fingerstyle guitarist Adam Miller is a groove machine\, creating a sound that invites comparisons to Tuck Andress and Charile Hunter’ – Acoustic Guitar Magazine.  It’s this talent that has seen him play with Les Paul\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Martin Taylor\, Matt Schofield\, Charlie Hunter\, Bruce Mathiske\, Adam Levy (Norah Jones)\, Joe Robinson\, Tony McManus\, Jim Black\, Ben Gillies (Silverchair)\, and the list continues…. \nMiller’s 5th studio album\, ‘Shifting Units’ is a huge offering of original compositions played on both acoustic and electric guitars\, presented in two halves\, ‘Shifting Units – With Friends’ and ‘Shifting Units – Solo’. ‘Shifting Units’ features the same original compositions essentially recorded twice. \nThe solo album features Miller playing solo on both acoustic and electric guitar with no overdubs\, with only some creative loop and delay use on the haunting ‘Prayer For Bel’. The other half of the album features Miller with his ‘friends’\, ensembles made up of Australia’s cream of the the crop jazz and blues musicians. \nShifting Units’ will be a sonic adventure of sorts for listeners new to discovering Miller. “A lot of the time I play live with a band\, especially in Australia\, in a way the idea behind ‘Shifting Units’ was to complete the picture of how I compose and perform music” says Miller who is predominantly recognised as a solo acoustic artist. Drawing upon jazz\, blues\, finger-style and country\, Miller’s incredible and versatile talent as a player\, composer and arranger is clearly cemented on the album. \nAustralian Fingerstyle Champion (2002)\, Miller has played an array of International & National festivals including the Montreal Jazz Festival\, Australian Blues Festival\, A Day On The Green\, Jazz In The Vines\, and the Woodstock\, Melbourne\, and Adelaide International Guitar Festivals. He is a regular artist at NAMM (Los Angeles & Nashville) and Musikmesse (Germany) shows where he plays for some of the world’s most respected guitar companies and luthiers. He has also done two tours to Afghanistan performing for the Australian & Allied Forces. \nMiller has featured in magazines such as Guitar Player\, Acoustic Guitar\, Premier Guitar\, Acoustic UK\, Australian Guitar\, and Australian Musician. In 2013 his album “Delayed” was named in the top 10 Albums of 2012 by the US Acoustic Guitar Magazine.  He was also named on of the top 25 Future Legends in Australian Guitar Magazine. In 2010 Miller was named “Guitarist Deserving Wider Recognition” by US based magazine\, Guitar International. \nAdam juggles his time between international travels & Australia where he lectures in Jazz and Contemporary Guitar at the University Of Newcastle. \nhttp://www.adammiller.com.au/

SUMMARY:THE NOVEL IDEAS + JASON HAWK HARRIS
DESCRIPTION:The Novel Ideas are a country-folk quartet of friends hailing from the great state of Massachusetts. The following in their own words charts their evolution. They said that they . . .\n \nwere playing around with a song they’d never performed live. The four friends sat in a room in their house in Brighton\, Massachusetts\, contemplating the song’s mechanics. They sang together\, trying out different harmonies\nand arrangements until\, finally\, it clicked. Vocalist Daniel Radin recalls\, “When we finally got the four-part harmony down\, it was this moment where we realized like ‘oh\, this isn’t just an element of our music—it’s a feature.”\nIt was an important realization for the The Novel Ideas—a moment when the band began to understand their artistic partnership. Since then\, they’ve earned a reputation from music critics and fans for their moving four-part harmonies and rich Americana sound.\nFrom rock clubs to living rooms to festival stages\, the band strives to convey honesty\nand intimacy through their music.\nFeaturing the voices of three songwriters\, their newly-released self-titled album\, produced by Rick Parker (Lord Huron) and mixed by Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontagne\, Bonnie Raitt)\, showcases the band at its best. Capturing the spirit of their live performance in recorded form wasn’t easy\, but the result is a heartfelt representation of who The Novel Ideas are as a band. Track by track\, The Novel Idea represents a contribution to the country-folk\nscene that balances love-and-loss melancholy with thoughtful instrumentation and\nintricate vocal arrangements. \nSarah Grella – Vocals\nDanny Hoshino – Guitar\, Pedal Steel\, Vocals\nJames Parkington – Bass\, Vocals\nDaniel Radin – Guitar\, Vocals \nJason Hawk Harris experienced his musical coming of age one fateful day in middle school when a friend played him Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”  Indeed\, fate seems writ large in Harris’ artistic journey.  He comes from a long line of musicians; a tradition that all but guaranteed a both passionate and vexed relationship with the guitar.  Though classically trained\, he considers it perhaps the greatest instrument ever created (and occasionally wants to smash his Martin over the head of its inventor). \nAs a young man armed with a healthy prodigality\, however\, Harris refused to confine his ambitions to six strings.  While his peers were trying to learn stick-shift\, Harris was writing choral pieces and obsessing over American avant-garde composers like George Crumb.  These broader horizons led him to earning a BM in musical composition.  But after graduation\, the dynastic power of his forebears reasserted its strength\, and he returned to his guitar.  He went on to produce the first three albums of Americana/Roots band\, The Show Ponies.  He’s played with bluegrass titans like Noam Pikelny and Michael Daves.  The marquees have gotten bigger and the tours longer.  Still\, these days Harris often finds himself casting a wishful eye to the past.  He laments the lost opportunity to collaborate with his uncle John Harris\, who passed away in 1991.  “He wrote sad country songs about heartbreak\, love and shame\, “Harris says\, “and he sang them like it was the last thing he’d ever do.” \nTaking up his uncle’s mantle\, Harris’ songs offer nuanced explorations of life’s vagaries; matching determined honesty with vivid imagination.  His upcoming record fuses robust musicianship with a poetic vision inspired by magical realists like Charles Williams and Haruki Murakami.  His music\, Harris explains\, shares in their “audacious assumption that the physical and spiritual occupy the same plane of existence.” -Written by Phillip Aijian\n \nhttp://www.jasonhawkharris.com \nhttp://www.thenovelideas.com \n  \n  \n

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:BOB LIND ("THE ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY"—SINGERSONGWRITER)
DESCRIPTION:Totally unique and inimitable\, Bob Lind writes\, plays and sings like no one else – and he’s been doing it for five decades! \nIn 1966\, he helped launch and define Folk Rock\, writing and singing the groundbreaking megahit “Elusive Butterfly.” It began an illustrious career as a songwriter that still continues today.  \nHis songs have been recorded by more than 200 top artists including Aretha Franklin\, Glen Campbell\, Eric Clapton\, Cher\, The Four Tops\, Petula Clark\, Richie Havens\, Marianne Faithfull\, Kingston Trio\, Dolly Parton\, Johnny Mathis\, Florence Henderson and Nancy Sinatra. His lyrics have been taught in colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and Canada\, and translated into nine languages.  \nHis “Cheryl’s Goin’ Home” has become an international cult classic. It was covered by The Rokes and sold a million records in Italy. The legendary John Otway created the rock opera CHERYL around the song. \nBut as great a writer as he is\, nothing equals the experience of watching Bob Lind deliver his own songs. \nIn 2010\, filmmaker Paul Surratt released the highly acclaimed concert-documentary about Lind\, BOB LIND: Perspective.  \nIn 2013\, Bob joined Dan Fogelberg\, John Denver and other legends\, being inducted into the COLORADO MUSIC HALL OF FAME along with Judy Collins.  \nBob’s last two albums FINDING YOU AGAIN (2012) and MAGELLAN WAS WRONG (2016) are being hailed as his best work yet. \nhttp://www.boblind.com

SUMMARY:JON STICKLEY TRIO + THE GHOST OF PAUL REVERE
DESCRIPTION:Jon Stickley Trio has been making waves with the independent and fan-funded release of their 2nd album\, Lost at Last\, this past October. The originality and sheer energy of this genre-bending ensemble serves as a welcome wake up call for those who experience it. With roots in gypsy jazz\, bluegrass\, and hip-hop in an “exhilarating all-acoustic swirl” (Acoustic Guitar Magazine)\, Jon Stickley Trio combines Jon Stickley’s rapid-fire flatpicking guitar with the sultry and wild\, yet refined\, melodies of Lyndsay Pruett on violin set over the deep groove of Patrick Armitage on drums. The three have fused their collective styles into a repertoire of exciting and innovative original music along with some captivating covers. Lost at Last was recorded in the band’s hometown of Asheville\, NC at the iconic Echo Mountain Studios under the watchful eye of producer Dave King (The Bad Plus). \n“Mumford & Sons meet the Avett Brothers with a twist of bluegrass. Old Crow Medicine Show with three-part harmonies. The Band for millennials… The Maine-grown\, foot-stompin’ holler-folk quartet create the type of music for which festivals are made.” – The Boston Globe \nBorn on the banks of the Saco River\, brothers in all but name\, the Ghost of Paul Revere is Maine’s holler-folk band. A powerful\, energetic\, non-traditional American folk band that’s renowned for harmony fueled\, heart-pounding performances full of songs with unique identities that remain undeniably the Ghost of Paul Revere. \nFormed around childhood friends Max Davis\, Sean McCarthy\, and Griffin Sherry\, joined by Matt Young on harmonica\, the Ghost of Paul Revere played their first show together in 2011 at a tiny bar in Portland\, Maine. Now\, they play across the nation\, bringing holler-folk into houses\, bars\, and music halls. They have shared the stage with the Avett Brothers\, The Travelin’ McCourys\, Brown Bird\, Spirit Family Reunion\, Darlingside\, as well as members of Greensky Bluegrass\, the Infamous Stringdusters\, and Old Crow Medicine Show.\n Their critically acclaimed\, Billboard charting full length album Believe\, as well as their two EPs North and Field Notes Vol. 1\, have continually been the top selling local albums in Maine and New Hampshire for more than four years. The Ghost of Paul Revere has since sold out Port City Music Hall\, Stone Mountain Arts Center\, and the Strand Theater multiple times\, won Best In Maine at the 2014 New England Music Awards\, were an official showcase artist at Folk Alliance International 2015 and made their Newport Folk Festival debut in August 2015. They capped off 2015 with an electrifying headline performance on New Year’s eve at Portland’s State Theatre in front of 1\,600 enraptured fans. \nhttp://www.jonstickley.com \nhttp://www.ghostofpaulrevere.com

SUMMARY:BANSHEE IN THE KITCHEN
DESCRIPTION:Banshee in the Kitchen plays Celtic music with eclectic skill and merry abandon.Touring and recording since 2002\, the trio (tonight quartet) has delighted audiences in festivals\, theaters\, living rooms\, and countless other venues from NewYork to Japan. They take traditional Celtic tunes\, find the sweet spot between old and new\, stirring it all up with trademark playfulness and musicality they term “bansheefying”. \nTo do it right\, Celtic music requires a certain amount of sassiness\, a bit of impudence along with strong respect and joyful spirit. The four women of Banshee in the Kitchen know how to balance their audacity with reverence of the art form.\n—Joe Ross\, reviewer\, talentondisplay.com and Bluegrass Unlimited \nNational Champion hammered dulcimer player Brenda Hunter (fiddle\, hammered dulcimer) and Jill Egland (flute\,accordion\, whistle) trade off inspired flights of lead and counter melody overdynamic backing by Kat Edmonson (six and twelvestring guitar\, bouzouki). No strangers to the microphone\, the four trade off lead and backing vocals on a choice selection of songs\, as well as jocularcommentary in between. Add to this Kris Martin on stand-up bass and you have the filled out quartet version of the group. \nhttp://www.bansheeinthekitchen.com \n

SUMMARY:DOUG MACLEOD & JESSE-CD RELEASE "BREAK THE CHAIN"
DESCRIPTION:Tonight we present a CD celebration of Doug MacLeod’s new album “Break the Chain”. Tonight Doug will also feature his son Jesse as part of the show with Jesse’s great original songs and performance. \nDoug MacLeod\, a prolific singer\, songwriter\, engaging storyteller\, and masterful guitarist was born in the blues and is rooted in the American tradition. MacLeod is a perennial Blues Music Award nominee and multiple Blues Music Award winner. He recently won the 2017 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year and the Blues Blast Music Award for Male Artist Of The Year. \n He is a traveling artist who writes and sings original songs that are based on his own life and experiences. He learned from the old masters\, lived the music\, and carries forward a valuable tradition. MacLeod is known for his superb songwriting\, guitar wizardry\, warm soulful vocals\, wit and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of a Doug MacLeod performance is his knack for storytelling\, bringing characters-from the faceless to the legendary-to strikingly real life. \n As a youth Doug overcame abuse and a crippling stutter by turning to music. After picking up a guitar\, and singing – he found his voice.  While he developed his rich\, soulful singing style MacLeod also worked out a unique\, unorthodox and powerfully rhythmic acoustic guitar style. The rage of a turbulent youth was eventually channeled through the guitar. Doug uses a relentless right hand to pound out an insistent\, churning beat to complement his intricate bottleneck and finger-style technique. \n MacLeod’s playing landed him sideman gigs with George ‘Harmonica’ Smith\, Big Joe Turner\, Pee Wee Crayton\, Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson\, Lowell Fulson and Big Mama Thornton. Over 29 years\, 20 studio albums\, several live records\, compilations\, a blues guitar instructional DVD and a live performance DVD\, MacLeod has consistently earned raves. His songs have been covered by many artists including Albert King\, Albert Collins\, Joe Louis Walker and Eva Cassidy. He has co-written songs with Dave Alvin and Coco Montoya. MacLeod’s songs have been featured in many TV movies and the hit show In the Heat of the Night and on Grammy nominated albums by Albert King and Albert Collins. Doug’s soulful slide guitar playing was featured in the Los Angeles opening of August Wilson’s “Gem of the Ocean”. \n From 1999 to 2004 Doug hosted Nothin’ But The Blues\, a very popular weekend blues show on Los Angeles’ KLON-KKJZ. He has also been the voice for The Blues Showcase on Continental Airlines. For ten years he penned “Doug’s Back Porch\,” a regular feature column in Blues Revue Magazine in which he shared his humorous and insightful stories with thousands of readers. He is one of the four featured artists in the movie “Resonate: A Guitar Story”. A  feature documentary on the making of National Guitars. \n The much anticipated solo live album\, ‘DOUG MACLEOD – LIVE IN EUROPE’ \, was released on June 24\, 2016. \n In every note he performs and records\, MacLeod follows the rule-of-thumb he learned from country bluesman Ernest Banks of Toano VA.: \n“Never play a note you don’t believe”\, and “Never write or sing about what you don’t know about.” \n Like the old masters who taught him\, MacLeod’s music expresses life and times through an intangible\, elusive quality that may simply be a keen sense of what matters most. Doug’s music\, stories\, and philosophy provide a healing that has helped others overcome the hardships of their lives. \n As Pee Wee Crayton’s widow Esther once told Doug\, “You have a message and you’ll send that message mainly to the people who don’t go to church.” Amen.\nhttp://www.doug-macleod.com

SUMMARY:JOHN JORGENSON QUINTET LIVE AT BOULEVARD MUSIC
DESCRIPTION:Tonight we present the John Jorgenson Quintet. Gypsy Jazz at its finest.  \nThe John Jorgenson Quintet was originally formed in 2004 for the release of “Franco American Swing”. The Gypsy Jazz they perform reminds one of the string-driven swing created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in 1930’s Paris\, but Jorgenson’s compositions draw in elements from Latin\, Romanian\, Classical\, Rock and Greek music. Calling it “21st Century World Music” might be a better description. \nJohn Jorgenson born July 6\, 1956 in Madison\, Wisconsin\, is perhaps best known for his guitar work with bands such as the Desert Rose Band and The Hellecasters. Jorgenson is also proficient in the mandolin\, mandocello\, Dobro\, pedal steel\, piano\, upright bass\, clarinet\, bassoon\, and saxophone. John Jorgenson\, known for his blistering guitar and mandolin licks and mastery of a broad musical palette\, has earned a reputation as a world-class musician\, as evidenced by his collaborations with Earl Scruggs\, Bonnie Raitt\, Elton John\, Luciano Pavarotti\, Bob Dylan and many others.  \nFirst coming to national attention in the mid ‘80s as co-founder of successful country-rock act The Desert Rose Band\, an eclectic array of artists such as Bonnie Raitt\, Bob Seger and Barbra were drawn to add Jorgenson’s artistry to their own recordings. While a member of the Desert Rose Band\, Jorgenson won the Academy of Country Music’s “Guitarist of the Year” award two consecutive years.  \nIn the ‘90s The Hellecasters gave audiences a chance to experience John’s fretboard fireworks in an unrestrained venue and the trio’s three original albums remain favorites of guitarists everywhere. Having been a fan of the Desert Rose Band\, Elton John invited Jorgenson to join his band in 1994 for an 18 month tour that stretched into a six-year stint of touring\, recording and TV appearances with the British superstar\, in addition to collaborations with other artists including Sting and Billy Joel.  \n2010 marked the 100th birthday of the great gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. Since discovering Django in 1979\, Jorgenson has become “the US Ambassador of Gypsy Jazz” which is quite an honor given the distinctly European slant of the music’s heritage. Over the years Jorgenson has continued to honor the legacy of Reinhardt by bringing his unique brand of Gypsy Jazz to the masses with his John Jorgenson Quintet.  \nJorgenson continues to expand his dynamic range of musical offerings\, exploring new elements of world music\, bluegrass\, rock and classical as he captivates and enlightens fellow musicians and listeners along the way. Touring with multiple musical configurations such as the John Jorgenson Quintet\, the John Jorgenson Electric Band\, the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band and the Desert Rose Band. Jorgenson annually plays dates across the U.S. and Europe. Each permutation allows him to make prodigious use of his mastery of many instruments; no matter which band Jorgenson is playing with\, his brilliant guitar work leads the way with music that is a combination of groundbreaking playing full of soaring melodies and driving rhythms.  \nHis contribution is utterly one of a kind by not only Jorgenson’s skillful guitar playing\, but also his solo clarinet\, bouzouki\, and vocal performances as well. \nAt performances of the John Jorgenson Quintet\, audiences are awestruck by not only Jorgenson’s skillful guitar playing\, but the solo clarinet and bouzouki as well. Djangobooks perfectly articulates\, “If he comes around\, don’t miss him. The show is golden. The music soars.”  \nLegends like Elton John\, Earl Scruggs and Duane Eddy along with fellow guitarists such as Tommy Emmanuel\, Peter Frampton and Brad Paisley have sung Jorgenson’s praises\, and the best way to find out what they already know is to check out this artist who is leaving a lasting legacy in the art of guitar performance. \nHere’s what others have said about John Jorgenson: \n“Brilliant guitarist!” – ELTON JOHN  \n“John Jorgenson is one of my most favorite players. He is incredibly versatile and his solos are unique and melodic\, played with amazing technique. ‘My  guitarist’s guitarist.” – PETER FRAMPTON  \n“If there was one guitar player I’d like to be\, it would be John Jorgenson.” – BRAD PAISLEY  \n“John Jorgenson is a true artiste. He’s a phenomenal musician.” – CHRIS HILLMAN  \n“This is a display of virtuosity rarely rendered.” – FRETBOARD JOURNAL  \n“John Jorgenson is one of the most respected guitarists in the world…” – LOS ANGELES TIMES  \n“John Jorgenson has a rare kind of genius for an instrumentalist in that he’s equally comfortable and capable of playing Buck Owens\, Beatles riffs\, or jazz leads…” – NO DEPRESSION \nhttp://www.johnjorgenson.com
