Kate Campbell
Sep 10, 2011 | 0 commentsWith her compassionate tone and sometimes-quirky approach, Kate Campbell has made a musical niche for herself telling stories exploring the complex topics of race, religion, history and human relationships. It started with her award-winning debut record, 1995’s Songs from the Levee, and continues with her latest offering, Save the Day, which also includes shades of Kate’s entire musical history — running the gamut from R&B and pop rhythms to gospel, country and folk sounds. People often ask Kate where she gets her song ideas. Kate explains, “I just find certain things interesting and pay attention to them. That’s the way I’ve always been.” Kate’s lyrics have often been compared to the works of southern wordsmiths Flannery O’Connor and Eudora Welty. Whether it’s someone who discovers Kate Campbell for the first time, or a longtime fan, the listener soon realizes that each of Kate’s tunes resonates with the hopefulness of the Buechner...
Tony Furtado
Sep 8, 2011 | 0 commentsTony Furtado grew up in Pleasanton, CA and took up the banjo at age 12. At age 19, he entered himself in the banjo playing competition at the venerable bluegrass festival in Winfield, Kansas (Walnut Valley Festival) and won the Grand National Championship. Hailed as a banjo prodigy, he got his first record deal in 1992 and has been making music and releasing records ever since. As he was cementing his reputation as banjoist extraordinaire, Furtado was also developing himself into an equally virtuosic slide guitarist. If you’ve followed Tony Furtado’s prolific music career at all you won’t be surprised to know that his 15th album, Golden, is loaded with several impressive firsts. For the first time, he has self-produced and penned every track. It is also the first time his own artwork- a sculpture of a two-headed rabbit- has been featured on the cover.

Chris Smither
Sep 8, 2011 | 0 commentsWords of praise for an American Master - NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: [Smither] taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek, unhurried and insistent. And then there’s the voice – “equal parts gravel and molasses, Smither’s singing sounds like a distillation of the folk and blues heroes he grew up listening to in New Orleans. ASSOCIATED PRESS: Smither is an American original, a product of the musical melting pot, and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world. ROLLING STONE: Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs, Smither’s roots are as blue as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin’ Hopkins in Smither’s weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine. visit his website:http://smither.com/ Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of...
