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:RICK RUSKIN & WORKSHOP ALSO
DESCRIPTION:“…so brilliant at times that he seems to transcend normal approaches to the guitar….Ruskin may be the smoothest technical player around. Flashy\, fast\, inventive and musical and that isn’t easy.” (GUITAR PLAYER) \nRick Ruskin started playing guitar in 1962 and in just one year became a respected professional musician in his native Detroit\, Michigan. In 1964\, while still in Jr. High School\, he was chosen to open the bill for the Reverend Gary Davis at Detroit’s legendary Retort Coffee House. This engagement resulted in a fast and permanent friendship with the master blues\, ragtime\, and gospel guitarist. Rev. Davis was so taken by the young Ruskin’s skill and eagerness\, that he invited Rick to spend that summer with him at his Long Island home. By the end of the summer\, Davis stopped teaching Rick new material and told him\, “It’s time you started paying attention to your own music.” Ruskin has been doing that ever since. \nIn addition to being a top guitar player\, Rick is a singer\, composer and arranger of note. He is known for his many fine compositions such as “Maze Music for Mice\,” “Six String Conspiracy\,” and “Kudah Duxx\,” a track previously featured in Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. He’s also known for his arrangements of such pop classics as “Lady Madonna\,” “Riki Don’t Lose That Number\,” and “Here Comes The Sun\,”\n Rick will also perform some tunes from his latest CD\, “How to be smarter than your guitar.” \nRick will also be conducting a fingerstyle guitar workshop featuring blues/ragtime/pop styles from 4-6pm at Boulevard Music. \nhttp://www.liondogmusic.com

SUMMARY:MOLLY TUTTLE BAND
DESCRIPTION:A virtuoso multi-instrumentalist and award winning songwriter with a distinctive voice\, Molly has turned the heads of even the most seasoned industry professionals. She began performing on stage when she was 11\, and recorded her first album\, The Old Apple Tree\, at age 13. Since then\, she’s appeared on A Prairie Home Companion and at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, was featured on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine\, won first place in the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at Merlefest\, and\, this fall\, received a Momentum Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association in the instrumentalist category. Her lovely voice\, impeccable guitar playing\, and sensitive song writing make her a star on the rise. She has already received more than two million YouTube views and is currently gearing up to release her first solo EP.  \nMolly Tuttle\, blew away the unsuspecting crowd with her rapid fire bluegrass guitar work that would put even the most talented shredders to shame. It was a marvel to see such incredible technical skill combined with a sweet voice and fun\, barn-storming songwriting. – Jonah\, Write to the Beat  \n[Molly Tuttle] sings with the gentle authority of Gillian Welch\, yet plays astoundingly fleet flat-picking guitar like Chet Atkins on superdrive. -Paul Zollo\, American Songwriter Magazine \nhttp://www.mollytuttlemusic.com

SUMMARY:LAURIE LEWIS & THE RIGHT HANDS
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum 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 Brandon Godman superb fiddler from the great Bluegrass state of Kentucky\, and Max Schwartz known for turning heads with his blazing solos on upright bass and banjo.  \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

SUMMARY:DAN CRARY\, BILL EVANS\, & WALLY BARNICK-WORKSHOPS BY DAN & BILL ALSO
DESCRIPTION:Join flatpicking pioneer Dan Crary\, banjo legend Bill Evans\, and SoCal acoustic favorite Wally Barnick as they come together for the first time to perform cutting edge bluegrass\, folk\, and Americana music. \nDan Crary is a pioneer of flatpicking guitar solos in a bluegrass band\, right up there with founding fathers Doc Watson\, Clarence White and Norman Blake in carving a role for the flatpick guitar soloist in bluegrass music. A founding member of the Bluegrass Alliance\, and the “newgrass” approach\, his 20+ year collaboration with Byron Berline and John Hickman (as BCH and in the bands Sundance & California) earned him numerous awards and accolades. A veteran of tours in more than thirty countries\, Dan’s a stylist with an international reputation for taste and brilliance. His “racing licks sounded like the fretboard equivalent of Fred Astaire dancing up\, then down a staircase.”
(LA Times) \nBill Evans is an internationally loved five-string banjo life force. Whether he’s lending his instrumental chops to a blazing fiddle tune or performing one of his original compositions\, Bill is one of contemporary banjo’s treasures. He’s probably the only banjo on earth who has performed with the San Francisco Symphony\, on A Prairie Home Companion and with Dan and Wally! He’s at home with traditional and contemporary bluegrass as well as branching out on the farthest musical limbs that Dan and Wally can take him. \nWally Barnick (bass & vocals) describes himself as “principally a singer who some 40 years ago took up playing bass guitar in order to ensure a place in the band.” That strategy has definitely worked for this wonderful singer and instrumentalist\, who is at home singing and playing everything from folk and bluegrass to Bakersfield country and even some rock and roll. Wally has performed with many familiar California Americana and bluegrass groups in these past four decades\, including the Cache Valley Drifters\, Bluegrass\, Etc.\, and The Hay Dudes. His warm vocals and engaging stage presence are a perfect complement to Dan and Bill’s instrumental fireworks. \nA Crary\, Evans & Barnick show includes new songs and old stories\, blazing instrumental artistry\, and deep-down\, powerfully-felt musical moments. It’s whistling winds in the pines\, rambling boys and tragic girls\, joys and laughter from old times\, furious and foot-tapping instrumental tunes\, and a little touch of glory-to-God. And it’s the hovering ghosts of Jimmie Rogers and The Carter Family and Bill and Lester and Earl and Woody and all the greats who showed the way. \n  \nhttp://www.dancrary.com \nhttp://www.billevansbanjo.com \nhttp://www.wallybarnickmusic.com \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:BRUCE FORMAN'S THE RED GUITAR & BRUCE FORMAN'S JUNK YARD DUO
DESCRIPTION:Many of you already know Bruce Forman’s work as the jazz/western swing/bop guitarist in the band Cow Bop. Tonight Bruce does what his bumper sticker on the back of his horse says—My other performance platform is. . . Tonight we present two of Bruces other musical endeavors\, The Red Guitar and the Junk Yard Duo. A busy touring schedule; seventeen recordings as a leader; countless sideman recording dates–including a featured role on one of jazz great Ray Brown’s last albums; soundtrack performances on three of Clint Eastwood’s distinguished films–the Oscar-winning Million Dollar Baby\, Oscar-nominated Flags of Our Fathers and Hereafter; producer\, arranger\, and acclaimed educator; over twenty appearances at the landmark Monterey Jazz Festival; in residence at USC ’s Studio / Jazz Guitar Dept.—when does Bruce Forman rest? Forman is a seasoned jazz player with top-level skills as a leader\, entertainer and sideman. He creates soulful\, lyrical melodies\, inventive harmonies\, and solid accompaniment. Though he can shred bebop at blistering tempos with the best of ‘em\, he is no urban snob. Cow Bop\, Forman’s unique “western bebop” band\, hit four separate charts with its CDs\, Swingin’ Out West\, Route 66\, Too Hick for the Room and Cowlifornia Swing. In May 2014\, Cow Bop was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame.  \nThe Red Guitar— \nImagine receiving an invitation to a gala featuring John Coltrane\, Sigmund Freud\, and Faust. Bruce Forman’s “The Red Guitar” is all that and more. It draws on Forman’s decades of experience as a formidable jazz guitarist and his considerable skill as a storyteller and teacher\, producing a work that is greater than the sum of its dazzling parts. A story in and about jazz\, The Red Guitar showcases Bruce Forman’s genre—breaking inventiveness and his ability to improvise and create within a classical form. Enlisting the full power of the jazz idiom and integrating it with seasoned and provocative story-telling\, he confronts the dilemma of artistic obsession face-to-face—by creating a work of art that simultaneously explores and demonstrates the hold that music has over its most ardent followers\, the hold that poses itself as a life-or-death\, must-be-solved-question: “The Red Guitar. Do you play it…or does it play you? See where you stand. See and hear The Red Guitar   \nThe Junk Yard Duo— \nScavenging music form the edge of sound\, Junkyard Duo uses unique instrumentation and exotic sounds to create a spontaneous and intimate improvisational exploration of styles and approaches. Hobo chic at it’s most utmost!!! \nhttp://www.bruceforman.com \n\n

SUMMARY:BLUEGRASS SITUATION PRESENTS THE TONY FURTADO TRIO-CD RELEASE FOR CIDER HOUSE SESSIONS
DESCRIPTION:Genre-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 two time national fiddle champion Luke Price and acoustic bass player Sam Howard who usually plays with Ruth moody of the Wailin Jenny’s.  \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 \nhttp://www.tonyfurtado.com

SUMMARY:ADAM DEL MONTE ENSEMBLE
DESCRIPTION:One of the leading flamenco and classical guitarist/composers of his generation\, Adam del Monte has made it his life mission to fully express himself in these two genres\, transcending labeling and convention. Always having incorporated a wide array of musical styles in his compositions\, del Monte has embarked on a journey of creating a unique sound and language of flamenco that is both steeped in tradition and progressive in its openness to musical flavors from around the world. Del Monte has recorded for Deutsche Gramophone – the featured flamenco guitar part in the double Grammy award winning opera “Ainadamar” by Osvaldo Golijov (2006)\, with soprano Dawn Upshaw and the Atlanta Symphony\, conducted by Robert Spano. Since then he has toured this opera in\, Carnegie Hall\, NY\, Lincoln Center\, NY\, Barbican Center\, London\, Colorado Music Festival\, in Boulder\, Chicago Symphony and many more. Del Monte has recently composed his second flamenco guitar concerto\, “Paisajes”\, which was debuted and commissioned by the St. Monica Symphony. He has since performed it with the Moscow State Symphony in Tchaikovsky Hall and the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra\, in Caracas\, Venezuela. He has also recorded “Avner’s Theme” by film composer John Williams for the sound track CD of the motion picture “ Munich” by Steven Spielberg. Other film credits include featured participations in Films such as Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz and Mr and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie\, music by John Powell\, and Toy Story 3\, music by Randy Newman. Del Monte has also performed with flamenco singer Enrique Morente and the Madrid Symphony Orchestra\, as well as with Lole’ y Manuel. Del Monte was both influenced by and inspired the younger generation of flamenco performers who were beginning to depart from the previous virtual space of Spanish flamenco. Del Monte\, too\, set out in new directions\, integrating years of traditional and leading –edge flamenco training as well as expanding his musicianship on the classical guitar. An eclectic awareness of jazz\, world music and other contemporary forms led to new\, creative renditions of flamenco repertoire.  \nIn February of 2000 he performed the Concierto de Aranjuez with the LA Philharmonic. In  June 2000\, he performed at the Hollywood Bowl\, once with his flamenco ensemble and once with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and classical Spanish dancer Lola Greco. \n Adam performed as soloist the Concierto de Aranjuez at Disney Hall several times. He has also performed the “Aranjuez” with the Pacific Symphony with Carl St. Claire. In 2005 del Monte took part in the Los Angeles Philharmonic Chamber Music Series at Disney Hall\, performing the “Histoire du Tango” by Astor Piazzolla with violinist Mark Kashper. He was a member of the Falla Guitar Trio from 2007-2012  where he performed extensively all around the US. \n In 2008 he has performed his Flamenco Concerto and the Concierto de Aranjuez with the Ranana Symphonet\, conducted by Nir Kabaretti. \n First Prize Winner at the 1997 Stotsenberg International Classical Guitar Competition\, del Monte is one of the new generations dynamic force in both flamenco and classical guitar. \nhttp://www.adamdelmonte.com

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

SUMMARY:SLIGO RAGS
DESCRIPTION:Named among the top acoustic bands in LA (by Folkworks Magazine) and two-time winners of the Orange County Music Award for Best Folk Band\, the dynamic ensemble Sligo Rags presents Celtic Folk with a decidedly bluegrass attitude. 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
