Sunday, May 11 @ 3PM Eric Taylor in concert http://www.bluerubymusic.com/  Tickets $ 15.00 here:
Or call 831-667-2574Eric Taylor is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar. If you're familiar with the intricate Texas singer/ songwriter jigsaw puzzle, you probably already know a lot about Taylor. If you're not familiar with Taylor by name, you've probably heard his songs performed by people such as Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. He has created a multitude of fans and devotees that are legends themselves in the singer/songwriter realm, artists who have long considered Taylor to be a teacher and a lantern bearer whose time is long overdue. I’m always the opening act when I’m around Eric. I love his voice, and he has a great narrative quality and sense of detail. He sort of takes you out of your own reality and into the reality of his songs. It’s good writing no matter how you cut it. Lyle Lovett He’s the real deal. Eric Taylor was one my heroes and teachers when I started playing around Houston in the early 1970s.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Touring with Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love, his first collection of new material in three years. The album features thirteen openhearted, lovingly crafted songs (fifteen if you count the two unlisted bonus tracks), delivered in spare but often imaginative arrangements built around Jonathan's distinctive voice and guitar. The resulting album captures much of the warmth of Jonathan's exuberant, spontaneous and often hilarious live performances. (from vaporrecords) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> June 22 NOTE!!

Suggested donation $ 10 - 20.00  “I could listen to Alisa and Kimball sing all night.” – Jim Messina (Loggins & Messina) "Fineman's sharp lyrics and soulful voice blend perfectly with Hurd's multi-instrumental talent," Santa Cruz Sentinel. Named “Best Folk Musician” four years in a row by Monterey Bay’s Coast Weekly, singer-songwriter and Kerrville New –Folk Winner Alisa Fineman is renowned for her “Earthy voice, dusky overtones and depth of emotion” (Moab Times). Alisa is beautifully complimented by gifted multi-instrumentalist, Bammy Award winning singer-songwriter Kimball Hurd. In addition to their own careers they have toured and performed with many nationally known musicians including Tom Paxton, John Gorka and Martin Simpson. Their well-crafted songs speak of the joys and struggles that shape our lives and what it means to care well for each other and the places we live. Their repertoire includes world music as well with the release of Alisa’s new CD, Closing the Distance, produced by Alex de Grassi. "Two of my favorite performers, Alisa and Kimball's music sends shivers through me with the rise and fall of sweetly paired voices and compelling lyrics.” (Betty Lenz, Good Times). About Don Usner: Born in 1957 in Embudo, near Taos, New Mexico, Don spent his youth in Los Alamos and Chimayo. Growing up in these places fostered in him a love for the natural landscape and a deep appreciation of his cultural roots in the Rio Grande valley - subjects that have remained a focus of his work throughout his life. Don completed an undergraduate degree at the University of California at Santa Cruz and went on to manage Big Creek reserve here in Big Sur. There he and co-author Paul Henson completed The Natural History of Big Sur, which includes dozens of Don's photographs. Don returned to New Mexico in 1988 to complete a Masters degree in cultural geography and soon after completed his second book, Sabino's Map: Life in Chimayo's Old Plaza, also illustrated with his photographs.

 “Blame Sally's artful, intelligent songwriting, strong harmonies and skilled musicianship shone brightly from our stage, drawing a crowd that danced, sang along and leaped to their feet to demand an encore.” ~ Marisa Waddell, Entertainment Coordinator ~ Live Oak Music Festival Check it out! Blame Sally video “If You Tell A Lie” on Neil Young’s Living With War Website “An amazing collection of talented local musicians has banded together and released a stunning new CD. "Severland," the latest from San Francisco's Blame Sally, should bring this female foursome universal acclaim ... "Severland" carves out a strong identity on the indie-pop edges of Americana.", Paul Freeman, Palo Alto Daily News >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sunday, August 24 @ 3 PM Peter Case and Chuck Prophet Tickets available now! $ 15.00 Advance, $ 18.00 at the door. Or call 831-667-2574  Peter Case, Photo: Greg Allen Are you tired of being billed as ex-plimsoul Peter Case? Yes. I've been solo for seventeen years now, have played a couple thousand solo gigs, I've been Grammy nominated as a solo artist, had a solo record named album of the year in The New York Times, put out eight solo cds to the Plimsouls three, won over audiences all around the world in places where the Plimsouls have never heard of...been played on the radio, had songs covered...etc.......whatever...I'm proud of the band, but I've done a lot more & a lot better since then. Check out Chuck Prophet on David Letterman here.  Chuck Prophet's genius lies in assimilating a wide variety of genres into his essentially Stonesy architecture ahead of the standard curve. From the seminal '80s alt-country shimmer of Green on Red to his incredibly diverse solo sonic quilt - early Americana rocker/mid-period electronic folkie/latter-day style hybridist - Prophet has engagingly exemplified his surname. On Soap and Water, his Yep Roc debut, Prophet continues to defy easy categorization, seamlessly weaving together his myriad roles: chunky rocker ("Freckle Song"), sensitive pop balladeer ("Would You Love Me"), sonic dabbler ("Doubter Out of Jesus (All Over You)"). For his considerable talents as performer/arranger/stylist, the ribbon that neatly ties the package is Prophet's lyrical gift, as his beat story-songs pulse with novelistic detail, noirish humor and poetic ambiguity and bristle with pure, guileless rock abandon. Originality is not easy in the derivative rock world but Chuck Prophet has blazed genre trails for over two decades with no signs of running out of inspiration or desire. --Fred Mills The Village Voice - October 2nd, 2007 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sunday, September 21 @ 3 PM Bill Frisell and Nels Cline Tickets available now! $ 27.50 Advance, $ 30.00 at the door.
