fundraiser for the Halleck Creek Riding Club for the Disabled
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $17.50

Join us for an evening of great music, with proceeds benefiting the Halleck Creek 4H Riding Club for the Disabled, a Marin County nonprofit organization that offers therapeutic horseback riding to children and adults with disabilities.

Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin's skillful blend of bluegrass, folk, and old-time country has won the hearts of fans throughout the world. The duo's superb fiddle, guitar, banjo, and mandolin playing provide a masterful setting for the soulful harmonizing of two of the most acclaimed voices in traditional American music.

Kathy Kallick applies her incandescent vocals to bluegrass and traditional country classics, as well as to her compelling originals. With her unique perspective and refreshing musical sensibilities, it's no wonder that the California Bluegrass Association gave Kathy a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Sylvia Herold is known for her work with Celtic/Grateful Dead fusion group, Wake the Dead, and with the late lamented swing trio, Cats & Jammers. Tonight she appears with her band Euphonia -- featuring Paul Kotapish on mandolin, Charlie Hancock on accordion, Chuck Ervin on bass and percussionist Brian Rice -- playing traditional Anglo-Celtic music and fresh new versions of American folk tunes.

Maria Muldaur's history encompasses a broad range of American roots music, from her years with The Jim Kweskin Jug Band to her acclaimed forays into the music of New Orleans, bluegrass, jazz, and gospel -- with side trips like her million-selling hit from the '70s, "Midnight at the Oasis." Maria's performances are infectious celebrations in the spirit of a down-home revival.

The Bluegrass Intentions -- Eric & Suzy Thompson, Bill Evans, Alan Senauke, and Larry Cohea -- combine impeccable musicianship and superb harmonies to create roots-based bluegrass music that sparkles with ebullience and creativity. Whether re-working material from a Library of Congress field recording or reinventing a Flatt & Scruggs classic, these genre-bending traditionalists have got the recipe for a truly unstoppable old-time groove.
