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

SUMMARY:THE FOLK COLLECTION
DESCRIPTION:The Folk Collection takes you on a trip down memory lane in the footsteps of the Kingston Trio\, Peter\, Paul and Mary\, John Denver\, and the Limelighters with songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” and the “MTA.”\nTHE FOLK COLLECTION could just as well be named the “Singing the Classic Songs of the ’60s Folk Era” group.  Tony Unger\, Ed Labowitz and Mike Sirota grew up in the 1960’s\, when they fell in love with the story songs and 3-part harmonies of that acoustic era.  Ed and Tony have been a duo on and off since their days at Hollywood High School\, and Mike joined the group in 2003. \nMuch of their repertoire is familiar to audiences of all ages.  They have been influenced by the well-known groups of the era\, but they have their own blend\, sound – and humor.  Audiences get a real kick out of their unique medley arrangement of the great TV Western theme songs of the ’50s (including songs from the hit shows “Rawhide\,” Davy Crockett\,” “Maverick\,” and “Bonanza”). \nThe Folk Collection grew up loving folk music\, and the turnouts at their shows confirm that they have struck a “chord” with audiences of all ages\, who really like listening to the words and harmonies – and joining in when the mood and song fit.  Their show is centered around folk music and good clean jokes.  Their shows are family friendly\, and their audiences are often multi-generational – children\, parents\, grandparents\, and even great-grandparents – enjoying the music of The Folk Collection\, together.  Don’t miss an opportunity to share an evening withTHE FOLK COLLECTION.  You will leave singing\, toe-tapping\, and smiling.\nwww.thefolkcollection.com

For more information\, call 310-398-2583. \nThis week\, and launching the festival\, we present Laurie Lewis and the Right Hands. Laurie 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\, Chad Manning superb fiddler and also member of the David Grisman band\, and Andrew Conklin known for turning heads with his inventive solos on upright bass. \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 \nhttp://www.laurielewis.com \nCulver City’s Boulevard Music Festival is sponsored by The City of Culver City\, Sony Pictures Entertainment\, Boulevard Music\, Culver Studios\, John Riordan Plumbing\, Culver City Volvo & Mazda\, Maxam Properties\, Swiss Motors\, Sorrento Market\, Papa John’s Pizza\, D & E Associates\, Orchard Supply\, Mateo’s Ice Cream\, Hillside Memorial Park\, Cavanaugh Realty\, Dolce Realtors\, Marriott Hotel\, Michael Kayem Remax\, Public School 310\, Music Munchers\, Culver Hotel\, Dynagraphics\, Culver City News\, Culver City Observer\, Steeldeck Inc\, Eastman Guitars\, Kremona USA\, Ohana Ukuleles\, Ernie Ball and more to be confirmed soon as sponsorships are still available.

SUMMARY:MICHAEL CHAPDELAINE
DESCRIPTION:Michael Chapdelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world’s top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres; the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championships at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield \, Kansas. From New York’s Lincoln Center to the Cactus Cafe in Austin\, from Milano to Bangkok\, Michael continues to enchant\, dazzle and surprise audiences and critics alike as he redefines the modern acoustic guitar with his amazing technique\, “soulful” expressiveness\, and versatility as a performer\, composer and arranger/producer. His performances\, played on both steel string and classical guitars\, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to rhythm n’ blues as he wins his audiences hearts with breath taking technique and the poetic magic of his original musical portraits and landscapes. In the 80’s and 90’s Michael proved himself to be one of the world’s finest classical guitarists; twice winning the coveted National Endowment for the Arts Solo Recitalist Grant\, and taking First Prize in both the Guitar Foundation of America’s and the Music Teachers National Association’s Guitar Competitions. He also won the Silver Medal in Venezuela’s VIII Concurso International de Guitarra “Alirio Diaz”. He has toured four continents while giving hundreds of performances for Affiliate Artists Inc.\, and various arts promotion organizations. In 1992 he recorded the Sonata Romantica CD\, (now re-released as “Mexico”)\, which many critics and connoisseurs of classical guitar consider to be one of the definitive recordings for the instrument. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote “… if I were marooned on a desert island with a limited selection of recordings\, this one would be among my choices…I have seldom heard a more beautiful album. Other young guitarists have excellent technique\, but few have such style and musicality\, and Chapdelaine’s beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia’s that I can recall.” In 1994 Michael turned his attention to pop music\, in arranging\, producing and recording Time-Life Music’s beautiful Guitar by Moonlight collection (also released as “with love”)\, which sold 250\,000 copies in it’s first two years in the stores. In 1998\, he once again\, expanded his musical range and gained instant notoriety and credibility in the “acoustic music” world as a “fingerstyle” guitarist and composer\, by winning the National Fingerpicking Championships at Winfield. Michael is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico\, and has previously been on the faculties of the University of Colorado at Denver and Metropolitan State University. He has given master classes throughout the world including\, China\, Thailand\, Malaysia\, Peru\, Venezuela\, Taiwan\, Indonesia and at institutions such as\, University of Miami\, Mannes School of Music\, University of Texas\, and California State University. His teachers included the great Spanish maestro Andres Segovia.  \nhttp://www.michaelchapdelaine.com
