Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen
Aug 23, 2010 | 0 commentsIn the late 1990s, Frank Solivan II could be heard at bars or folk festivals somewhere in Alaska almost every weekend. Burly and bald, his powerful tenor pipes and fabulous skills on mandolin and fiddle put him in high demand on the local country and bluegrass scene. Solivan grew up with music in his hometown, Modesto, Calif. His mom and dad were both active musicians and bluegrass enthusiasts. Young Frank won contests as a fiddler, banjo player and earned the position of second chair cello in the California All-State Honor Orchestra. Now with his band, critical acclaim keeps pouring in – “Wow… incredible music by a great combination of players. These guys have the whole package – they can sing, play and write extremely well! This is the best new bluegrass band…” ~Rob Ickes visit his website: http://web.me.com/mando_fiddle/dirtykitchenband.com/Home.html tickets are $10 in advance, $15 day of...
Devon Sproule & B J Kocen
Aug 21, 2010 | 0 commentsBorn to hippie parents on a commune in Kingston, Ontario, Sproule claims dual citizenship with both Canada and the US. After moving between private, public and home schooling, she eventually left high school, recorded her first record, and began touring nationally — all before the age of eighteen. Now married (to Paul Curreri) and 4 cd’s later, she brings her listeners “Infectious Appalachian stomp with jazz shadings. Sproule’s voice is an elastic instrument of old-school soul, recalling anyone from Sara Carter to Patsy Cline.” — Uncut visit Devon’s website: http://www.devonsproule.com/ Singer, Songwriter, host of the Songwriter’s Showdown, and the founder and leader of The Gobstoppers – B J Kocen never fails to entertain audiences with his strong voice, thoughtful songs, and great personality.

Tim Grimm
Aug 20, 2010 | 0 commentsTim Grimm has toured and recorded with his friend, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, appeared with Harrison Ford in the film Clear and Present Danger, and has shared the stage with writer and poet Wendell Berry. His recording, The Back Fields was named Best Americana Album in the 2006 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Los Angeles (the largest and most diverse music awards in the world). Named 2000’s “BEST DISCOVERY in Roots/Americana Music” by The Chicago Sun-Times, and “2004 MALE ARTIST of The Year” by the Freeform American Roots DJs, his songs and performances have established him as a unique voice in Americana music. Each of his past 3 recordings have reached the top of the Folk or American-roots charts. Grimm walks the fine line between folk and country, while maintaining a strong footing in tradition. We hear the rural rumblings that have shaped his life, but we are also invited in to a bigger picture, as evident in so much of his work. Critics searching for comparisons...

Winchester’s skill in capturing vivid small town vignettes, heartfelt love and love-lost situations, and goodtime celebrations has yielded a litany of I-know-that-songs: “Yankee Lady,” “Biloxi,” “Brand New Tennessee Waltz,” “Talk Memphis,” “Rhumba Girl,” “Payday,” “I’m Gonna Miss You, Girl,” “Let’s Make a Baby King” and many more.
