Rod Picott CD Release Concert
Apr 18, 2011 | 0 commentsThere is a slight raggedness and understatement to Rod Picott`s music, which provides terrific bedding for his intimate and introspective wordplay. Robert Oermann declared Picott a “major, major talent.” One of the true indicators of a gifted musician is making not only a great debut, but getting to album number three or four with something significant to say. His music has been favorably compared to Steve Earle and Fred Eaglesmith. Four albums into his career Picott is ready to join those two as a reference point for the next generation of musicians. ~ Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music. Charles Arthur will be sitting in… Tickets $13 in advance, $18 day of show Visit Rod’s website: http://www.rodpicott.com
The Quebe Sisters Band – This show is Sold Out
Apr 18, 2011 | 0 commentsTHIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT When Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe (pronounced Kway-bee) raise their fiddles and play, audiences marvel.

WNRN presents Scott Miller
Apr 18, 2011 | 0 commentsMiller, one of the founders of the seminal roots rock band The Vroys, who recorded three albums for Steve Earle and Jack Emerson’s label E-Squared Records–went on to a successful solo career at Sugar Hill records where he released four critically acclaimed albums from 2001 -2008. He now joins many independently minded artists of today by releasing his own records. Throughout his career, Miller has attracted favorable press notices. No Depression observed, “Probably too smart by half for his own damn good, Scott Miller straddles the cerebral and the visceral.” Added the Washington Post, “In addition to his considerable talents as tunesmith, Miller has two things going for him: a voice gruff enough to suit the music he loves and a personality lighthearted enough to keep the performances from dragging.” And the Nashville Scene summed it up: “Miller stays in touch with his inner rebel while alternating between hillbilly folk and spitfire garage rock that tried to...

It follows their debut album, ‘Time to Dream’, recorded in Brazil around the time they moved from Brazil to the US.

United by musical interests that include samba, funk, soul, blues, bossa, jazz and Spanish flamenco; Humberto Oliveira Sales and Madeline Holly Sales blend the melodic, rhythmic and harmonic riches from North and South America.

Madeline brings with her the strong influence of soul, jazz and blues. She sings in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Her sensual, rich voice, playful interpretations, and strong stage presence make...
