The Nell & Jim Band bring together genre-busting
artists and joyful music infused with folk, bluegrass, Americana, roots, swing,
jazz, and blues. Alt-Roots, Folkbilly - whatever you call it - it's original,
well done, and a pleasure to hear. Featuring Nell Robinson on flute
& vocals, and Jim Nunally on guitar & vocals, with backing by
Jim Kerwin on upright bass, Rob Reich on accordion and keyboards,
and Alex Aspinall on percussion, the band gave an outstanding
performance for us last year…and the year before, and we are very happy to
have them back again! www.nellandjim.com |

Michael Doucet
& Sarah Quintana |

This year Michael Doucet, will be touring in an
intimate trio setting with his latest musical collaborators Sarah
Quintana and Chad Viator. BeauSoleil's iconic founder,
Michael Doucet; the multi-Grammy winner and National Heritage Fellowship
recipient has released his first solo album in 10 years this on Compass
Records. Entitled "Lacher Prise (Let it Go)”, the album departs
from the established sound of BeauSoleil (currently celebrating their 44th year
together) with a more energized exploration of the regional music of his home
state of Louisiana. Doucet describes the album's music as “Les
îles Français Zarico”, a description that takes into
account an eclectic mix of styles including New Orleans rhythm & blues and
Southwest Louisiana rock ‘n roll, as well as his own interpretations of
zydeco and Cajun, infused with the intoxicating rhythms of the French
Caribbean. https://beausoleilmusic.com |

The Keller Sisters, Sheryl (guitar, banjo,
vocals) and Kerry (cajon, harmonica, uke, vocals), from San Francisco,
have a lifetime of singing together, started out by practicing Beatles
harmonies as kids and joining their mother in musical theater. Their original
material (Americana, folk, blues, musical theater) is filled with harmony,
humor, and their warm stage presence. They have made 3 albums and are working
on a 4th. http://www.thekellersisters.com |

Travis Jones, at age 4, sang gospel with his mother, a professional blues singer, in the deep south. After an extensive carrier in various bands, including in Europe while serving 6 years in the army, he came to California, where he started and led several more bands, and worked a considerable time in live theater (most notably as musical director and star of "Lost Highway, the legend and music of Hank Williams"). He has shared the stage with many well-known artists (eg Waylon Jennings, John Hartford) and for over a decade was the lead singer in Houston Jones (7 CDs) and now fills the same role for The Jones Gang. www.thejonesgang.com |
