USAF Band of Liberty
July 1, 2008
The United States Air Force Band of Liberty is one of 10 Air Force Bands nationwide. Stationed at Hanscom AFB near Boston Massachusetts, this group of 60 musicians has been entertaining audiences throughout the New England region and beyond since 1978.


   

The Wailin’ Jennys
July 9, 2008
Three extraordinary voices, two founding singer-songwriters, one singular vision: The Wailin' Jennys continue to evolve into far more than the melodious sum of their individual talents five years after blowing in on a fresh acoustic breeze from Canada's mid-western heartland. This incredible band was won a JUNO Award (Canada’s Grammy) and captivates audiences with intuitive harmonies, engaging stage presence and uplifting repertoire.



The Greencards
July 16, 2008
Four short years ago, a green card was an immigration document - now The Greencards are an acoustic music phenomenon that has played around the world, headlined major festivals, won awards, and toured with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. Carol Young plays bass and sings most of the songs; Kym Warner picks the mandolin and bouzouki, while Eamon McLoughlin plays fiddle and viola. The most conspicuous thing they have in common is that they ‘ain’t American’. McLoughlin is English. Warner and Young are Australians. But all three grew up in households full of honest American roots music - Merle, Lefty, Ricky, Dolly, Loretta to name a few. Honing their talents at jam sessions and gigs in their homelands they eventually took the bold step of moving to the States to find their musical home.

 

   

Crooked Still
July 23, 2008
This hot young alternative bluegrass group is on a mission to bend the boundaries of traditional music. The unlikely combination of banjo, cello, and double-bass drives this low lonesome band, whose captivating vocals and high-wire solos have enraptured audiences all over North America and Ireland since 2001.





John Jorgenson Quintet
July 30, 2008
The John Jorgenson Quintet features guitarist John Jorgenson, a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, the Hellecasters, and six-year member of Elton John's band. At a John Jorgenson Quintet performance, audiences are amazed by John's dazzling guitar work as well as his mastery as a clarinet player and vocalist. Whether playing his own accessible compositions or classic standards, John and his band make music that is equally romantic and ecstatic, played with virtuosity and soul. John Jorgenson is known as one of the pioneers of the American gypsy jazz movement. He has performed as a solo artist as well as collaborated with other musicians all over the world.




   

The Duhks
August 13, 2008
The most vital acoustic music being made today acknowledges its predecessors and lives in the here and now. For four years now, The Duhks, the band of five skilled, high-energy, tattooed twenty-somethings from Winnipeg, Manitoba, has been riveting audiences and winning staunch fans across North America and around the world with just that kind of music.
