Growing up in Boston Massachusetts, Peter Janson listened to his father, an accomplished amateur guitarist, play solo guitar every day. Peter started playing by the age of seven, and starting doing pop gigs at age 15. For the last twenty-five years he has performed in venues large and small in a variety of styles; pop, rock, fusion, folk, Celtic, classical, and jazz. His sound is a melding of all these. Come and hear Peter, performing solo jazz guitar songs inspired by guitar legends like Joe Pass, and Earl Klugh.

His newest release, Getting To Here, is a triumph in the face of the pandemic lockdown when the isolation had such a negative impact on him he nearly quit playing. Now, growing in international recognition, Peter signed a worldwide sub-publishing deal with SUPREME SONGS Limited (UK based) in October 2022. https://peterjanson.com/index.html

Dorian Michael also started at age 7, in LA. He has now been a working guitarist for 40 years, playing blues and folk, jazz and rock and roll. Along the way he started playing solo fingerstyle instrumentals, and 3 solo and 4 ensemble CD's later is still playing throughout the States and Canada. He calls his solo music "contemporary traditional", reflecting his interests in a number of styles. When playing a traditional piece, or someone else's music, he always trie to add a few surprises.

Dorian, now living in the SLO area, is well known in our local area, both as soloist and as a "go to" ensemble guitarist. A couple of years ago Patti Maxine fingered him for lead guitarist at her 80th Birthday Concert put on by Fiddling Cricket at Kuumbwa. www.dorianmichael.com

Songstress/songwriter, Bonny June's beautiful vocals are expertly accompanied by guitarist Ken Kraft (Snail; White Album Ensemble) and bassist Craig Owens (Lacy J Dalton), who also provide perfect harmony and a few lead vocals.

Late for the Train is an indie-folk string trio rooted in American folk and bluegrass music. Infused with the honest depth of the coastal redwood forests and the heartfelt community of the North Bay, the band provides a playful and poignant musical experience that uplifts the spirit and rouses the soul. The core ensemble includes songwriters and multi-instrumentalists David Pascoe (guitar/mandolin), Laura Benson (fiddle), and Thom Beneduci (stand-up bass). Their debut album, Plant It or Build It, was released in 2020. www.lateforthetrainband.com

Quirky conversations, odd jobs, and narrow escapes, Michael McNevin's songs read like short stories-full of heart, humor, and a keen eye for detail. Skillful guitar work and nuanced vocals underscore the characters and places of his travels. The lyrical landscapes are filled with surprises and everyday life. Michael has played the main-stages of the Kerrville Folk Festival, Strawberry Folk Festival, and High Sierra Music Festival. Michael has toured mostly as a solo performer, but in the last ten years has been hitting stages as a trio or band, McNevin & The Spokes. www.michaelmcnevin.com
