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.
