After having toured the world extensively with the John Jorgenson Quintet, native Argentinean Gonzalo Bergara is now presenting his new CD Porteña Soledad to glowing reviews all over the world.

Gonzalo began playing professionally at age 16 in Buenos Aires. By 17 he was already fronting his own blues trio on national television. He arrived in America in the year 2000 and in the short time since, has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists including Tim Hausser of Manhattan Transfer, Sylvie Vartan, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, John Jorgenson, Howard Alden and many more.

His new CD Porteña Soledad was editor’s Pick in Guitar Player Magazine, and Vintage Guitar Magazine called it “a masterpiece,” and he was picked as the “Best Jazz Group” in Los Angeles by Los Angeles Magazine in their Best of LA issue.

The music is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, traditional Jazz and hints of his native Buenos Aires. In his review on DjangoBooks.com, Jeff Fiskin writes "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is serious. And deeply moving.”

Gonzalo has performed all over the world including Croatia, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, England, Scotland, The Montreal Jazz Festival, Playboy Jazz Festival, Sweet and Hot Jazz Festival, Django Reinhardt Fest in Germany, Suave Guitar Fest in Italy, Merle Fest, Strawberry Fest, Django Fests throughout the US and lots, lots more.

Eclectic folk pop at its best - yes they're back! Blame Sally's most recent album has that amazing mix of melodies, harmonies, and innovation that makes them a true sensation.

Their music is emotionally charged, passionate, high melodic and compelling. An all-female quartet with a unique command over the song. The four accomplished instrumentalist/singers combine their strikingly different approaches to create a distinct and beautiful sound. Admirers of Dar Williams, Jonatha Brooke, Indigo Girls and intelligently emotional, intricately harmonized folk-pop in general will find much to appreciate in "Blame Sally."

" Dallas has its Dixie Chicks, and San Francisco has Blame Sally", the difference being, among other things, that Blame Sally's music is a little more indie, a little less country, a little more brainy. San Francisco's KFOG selected tracks from both previous Blame Sally CDs to appear on its 2003 and 2004 compilations alongside tracks by Paul Simon, Spearhead, Jackie Greene, The Waifs, Dar Williams, and more.

"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 . Individually, Renee Harcourt, Monica Pasqual, Jeri Jones and Pam Delgado have long displayed stirring singer-songwriter gifts. Together they're a powerhouse unit, presenting outstanding lead vocals and harmonies. "Severland" carves out a strong identity on the indie-pop edges of Americana. Among the highlights (though there's not a weak track among the dozen here) are the riveting title tune, the piano-driven "Fillmore Street," the haunting "Devil to Pay" and the country-rocker "Trouble."" Paul Freeman, Palo Alto Daily News

“If you’re missing out on [Fred] Eaglesmith… you’re really missing out,” says The New Yorker. The award-winning singer-songwriter has had his songs covered by Toby Keith, Cowboy Junkies, Kasey Chambers, Ralph Stanley II, Todd Snider and Dar Williams, among others, and featured in films by Martin Scorsese and James Caan. And his latest and 17th album, Tinderbox, continues to garner critical praise as “a ghostly masterpiece” (Calgary Herald) and “one of the most compelling roots-rock albums in recent memory” (Slant magazine).

Eaglemsith's music has been described by reviewers as a "blend of aching country and barroom rock" and a "mixture of hard-edged honky-tonk balanced between rock'n'roll and early '60s country music." His dynamic live shows are "exactly like the sort of music you dream of hearing in some crowded, hot, beery bar near closing time… a truly timeless brand of primitive rock'n'roll," says Amazon.com. Eaglesmith is also known as a between-song raconteur whose pointed and illuminating storytelling and comedic skills are as sharp as his songwriting.

He is also the only Canadian to have ever written a #1 song on the bluegrass charts. He is the subject of three tribute albums and enjoys critical comparisons to some of the most respected talents in music as well as the respect of his peers. And then there's his devoted if not rabid coterie of fans known as "Fredheads" who travel hundreds and even thousands of miles as well as even overseas to catch his vibrant live performances. His songs have joined the canon of academic curriculum at two universities, illuminating both poetic and societal studies. Eaglesmith has also acted in a number of movies and is a painter who regularly shows in galleries.

He has won a Juno Award — the Canadian Grammy — for Best Roots & Traditional Album and a Canadian Independent Music Award for Folk/Roots Album of the Year. "It is not an overstatement to say that Eaglesmith is one of the finest songwriters in this country," says the New Brunswick Daily Gleaner. "His canon of well over 1000 songs is stunning."

The prolific David Olney infuses his live performances with an intensity that converts many new listeners into die-hard fans. Mr. Olney’s intelligent compositions radiate that same intensity and have earned a place as one of the most respected singer-songwriters in the world today. His songs have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Del McCoury, Lonnie Brooks, James King, Slaid Cleaves, Dale Ann Bradley, Tom Rozum, Ann Rabson, Keiran Kane/Kevin Welch/Fats Kaplin, Tim O’Brien and others. He has released more than 20 albums over four decades, including six live recordings, and performs worldwide.

His new CD – “Dutchman’s Curve” – was released in the U.S. in April 2010 on Deadbeet Records. In 2009, David released a Fan Exclusive CD – “Ol’ Diz: A Musical Baseball Story” as recorded with John Hadley and based on the play by Actor/Congressman Ben Jones. The recording includes songwriters versions of a work-in-progress about Hall Of Fame St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Dizzy Dean.


Mark "Sergio" Webb is a talented Texas born Nasville based guitarist who played with Pinto Bennett and The Famous Motel Cowboys, Gail Davies and currently partners David Olney for his live gigs. His music is best described by as "folk/Americana/Pyschobilly - it's a difference worth experiencing.

Grievous Angel: The Legend of Gram Parsons is a theatrical concert about the original cosmic cowboy, who lived fast, died young and left a charred corpse. The creative force behind some of the most important recordings of the late '60s and early '70s, Parsons pioneered country rock with The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, schooled the Rolling Stones in American roots music, created The Flying Burrito Brothers and recorded two classic solo albums, GP and Grievous Angel, with his musical protégé, Emmylou Harris.

He never had a hit record and never became a star in his lifetime, but Parsons is today hailed as a patron saint of alt-country and Americana. His influence is acknowledged by artists as disparate as Keith Richards, Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Norah Jones, Beck, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, REM and the Black Crowes. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him #87 on their list of the 100 Most Influential Artists of All Time. Gram has been the subject of five biographies, four tribute albums and a documentary film, Fallen Angel.

Grievous Angel: The Legend of Gram Parsons, stars Anders Drerup and Kelly Prescott as Gram and Emmylou Harris. Featured musicians include Al Bragg, Chris Breitner, Pat McLaughlin and Tom Martel, with music by Gram Parsons, the Rolling Stones, Hank Williams, the Louvin Brothers, Chris Hillman, Chris Ethridge, Merle Haggard, Bob Dylan, Dan Penn, Elvis Presley, Ric Grech, Boudleaux-Bryant and Bob Buchanan.

Beppe Gambetta is acknowledged as Europe's premier guitar stylist. He is a gifted acoustic guitarist and vocalist, singing in English and Italian. His distinctive sound is a multi-cultural tapestry of traditional, original and classical music tunes and songs. Beppe's compositions and arrangements reflect a colorful mosaic of musical influences, from his native Genova, Italy to American flatpicking, Celtic, central European, and Mediterranean dance tunes, classical fingerstyle, and more. Beppe's charm, engaging personality, and remarkable versatility on acoustic guitar captivate audiences without exception.

Born in Genoa, Italy, Beppe began his musical training in a classical plectrum orchestra before drawing on traditional European and American guitar techniques to develop his own original style. In 1977, he formed the acclaimed Italian bluegrass band Red Wine. Later as a dynamic solo performer he toured Europe, America, Canada and Australia while rediscovering, teaching and promoting flatpicking and other great, but less known, guitar forms. Beppe has collaborated with masters of the acoustic scene (Gene Parsons, Tony Trischka and many others) on ambitious projects such as reviving and contemporizing the energy of the "brother" duets with guitar master Dan Crary. Along with Carlo Aonzo, mandolin player from La Scala Orchestra in Milan, Beppe has conducted extensive interviews as part of his comprehensive study and revival of the musical forms present in Italy at the start of the twentieth century. The result of this research was the production of two acclaimed albums, Serenata and Traversata (recorded with American mandolin legend David Grisman). An accomplished author and teacher, Beppe wrote the first Italian manual on flatpicking and recorded many instructional videos.

The Cash Tribute Show featuring James Garner delivers the Man in Black's music with conviction, accuracy, sincerity, and honesty. James Garner not only takes his audience through a musical journey of Johnny Cash's biggest hits, but also on an expedition of the Man in Black's legendary life. While James Garner is not a Johnny Cash impersonator, between accurate performances of Cash's songs, Garner recounts the stories of Johnny's childhood, entrance into the music business, and the highs and lows Cash experienced in a career that spanned 48 years. Most importantly, audience members will definitely find themselves tapping their toes and singing along with the train-like rhythm that became synonymous with the songs of Johnny Cash & the Tennessee Three.

A Grammy-nominated, Bammy award winning composer, pianist singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Barbara has performed on more than 65 albums, including Carlos Santana’s 2007 release.

She has 11 recordings to her credit as well as contributions to 10 compilations that have sold in the millions.

As a cofounder, with Darol Anger, of the acoustic super group, "Montreux", she recorded “ Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival” for Windham Hill Records in 1984, a landmark genre defining album. She continued to tour world-wide with Montreux, until leaving to pursue a solo career.

Her 2 CD's with singer-songwriter Teresa Trull on Olivia/Second Wave and Slowbaby Records have won critical acclaim and a large nationwide following.

As a solo artist, Barbara’s first solo CD “Signs of Life” was named a Washington Post “Top Ten of the Year”. Three other solo releases, “I Surrender”, “Variations on a Happy Ending” and ‘Alive in Berkeley” followed to critical acclaim.

Higbie is an accomplished pianist and singer/songwriter who also handles guitar, violin and the bouzouki quite nicely. She released an excellent album, Signs of Life, on Windham Hill before taking the indie route, and I Surrender shows her many moods and her many talents. Those moods run from the standard pop stylings of "Harmony" and the title track to the Latin beat of "Where You Are" and the jazz-soaked cover of John Coltrane's "Lonnie's Lament," which also shows off her French.

If the multifaceted Barbara Higbie seemed out of place on the Windham Hill label, for which she recorded her solo debut and her commercially successful albums with the eclectic band Montreux, her long-awaited second solo CD further defies the categorization so essential to today's record and radio industries. A jazz pianist who can write and sing like Laura Nyro and Carol King, a prize-winning folk fiddler who will interpret a John Coltrane tune through a French vocal or add her own lyrics to one of Django Reinhardt's last compositions, Higbie brings all her gifts to bear on the self-produced I Surrender.

Pop radio could jump on such melodic love songs as "Harmony," "Line of Gold," "Where You Are,' and the title track--if their openhearted sincerity didn't run counter to fashionable irony and cynicism. Jazz stations would play the buoyant, Ghana-inspired "Onyame"; the haunting Brazilian piano and violin ballad, "Water Into Wine"; the romping "Baby Buddha"; or the rolling 'Mudslide"- if "jazz" hadn't become just another consultant-contrived programming straitjacket.

Sadly, no mainstream format exists for the smart, refreshing fusion Higbie invents by judiciously mixing her piano, violin, guitar, Celtic harp, synthesizer, and bouzouki with David Balakrishnan's violin, Nina Gerber's and Steve Erquiaga's guitars, Todd Phillips's and Benny Reitveld's basses, Steve Campos's trumpet, George Brooks's saxophone, Billy Lee Lewis's drums, and Chris Webster's and Shabda Owens's harmony vocals. Funny how music so emotionally straightforward and musically accessible can defy so many conventions.

Tony Furtado grew up in Pleasanton, CA and took up the banjo at age 12. At age 19, he entered himself in the banjo playing competition at the venerable bluegrass festival in Winfield, Kansas (Walnut Valley Festival) and won the Grand National Championship. He has also won it a second time. Hailed as a banjo prodigy, he got his first record deal in 1992 and has been making music and releasing records ever since. As he was cementing his reputation as banjoist extraordinaire, Furtado was also developing himself into an equally virtuosic slide guitarist. And now, with his latest release, Thirteen (Funzalo Records, 2007), this restless artist makes an exponential leap into the wide-open spaces of mythopoetic America, a terrain inhabited by such personal heroes as Cooder, the Band, Creedence, Petty and Waits. No two ways about it - this heartfelt, multileveled work completes Tony Furtado's ascent from the folk circuit to the big leagues.

Furtado mixes rootsy, old time, folk, indie-rock, blues, and jazz styles. He has released 13 albums and played with and opened for such notable musicians as Greg Allman, Jerry Douglas, Keith Richards, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks, Alison Krauss, The String Cheese Incident, Little Feat, Leftover Salmon, and Taj Mahal. He has released numerous solo albums, including Swamped, Within Reach, Full Circle, American Gypsy, Live Gypsy, Roll My Blues Away, These Chains, Tony Furtado Band, and Bare Bones.

Toronto Independent Music Award nominee-Best Acoustic Album-2010

Voted Favourite New Discovery of 2009 by Penguin Eggs Critics

2009 Canadian Folk Music Award nominee - New/Emerging Artist

"Kate Reid is, quite simply, one of the best songwriters to emerge from the Canadian folk roots scene since David Francey." - Tim Readman for Penguin Eggs Magazine, January 2010

"A terrific album that catapults Reid into the ranks of Penny Lang & Joan Baez." -Bugs Burnett for The Hour, Montreal, Oct. 2009

Kate Reid is a whip smart wordsmith with a knack for candid story-telling and songwriting that is charged with humour and social-political commentary. A straight shooter but definitely not straight, she is as charming as she is in-your-face and is one of the most original, incisive and entertaining songwriters to appear on the scene in a long time.

Kate sings sometimes almost in spoken word style, musings about identity, love and queer life with an irreverent, often self-deprecating sense of humour. But best of all, you don’t have to be queer to get it. What makes her stand out from other confessional writers is that Kate turns personal experience and insight into songs that strike a universal chord in her listeners. The sold out crowds that are already standard fare in Kate’s hometown of Vancouver laugh and cheer mid-song in response to particularly choice lyrics and shout out to her between songs.

3 Leg Torso creates charming, elegant and daring modern chamber pop music infused with equal parts tradition and innovation. Evoking tango, Eastern European folk and other world music traditions, their cosmopolitan style embraces wit and humor within thoughtful, uncommon and beautiful arrangements.

3 Leg Torso formed in 1996 as violin, cello and accordion trio with the mission of creating original modern chamber music for their unique instrumentation. Over the following years the band has expanded both its musical mission and its size to become a quintet that now performs its eclectic synthesis of chamber music, tango, klezmer, latin and world music.

As principal composers, founding members Bela Balogh (on violin and trumpet) and Courtney Von Drehle (on accordion) provide the core of 3 Leg Torso's sound. They are joined by veteran percussionist/mallet player Gary Irvine, the consummate mallets/percussion of T. J. Arko and the fiery Michael Papillo.

The cinematic nature of their music has made it a natural for them to work with many independent film makers. These collaborations have included scoring The Dowager's Feast and The Dowager's Idyll, two films by Academy Award winning animator Joan Gratz; scoring With Hope and Help, a United Nations funded documentary on AIDS in Thailand; the piece Divertissments for Performing Bears being used as theme music for a Bosnian television series. In 2003, Von Drehle was awarded a Fellowship at the Sundance Film Composers Lab.

Twice the band has been commissioned by the Portland Institute of Contemporary Art to create new evening length works, most recently involving a collaboration with David Greenberger, the originator of The Duplex Planet.

Americana-Rock artist Tori Sparks sounds like one tough, passionate cookie. Her voice has the gritty blues of countrified Etta James and the cool growl of Janis Joplin. Her second album is blessedly full of simple truth, kick ass guitar riffs and soul baring song writing. Tori Sparks' talent for brewing great Americana songs is clear. The way Sparks tells a story through song, and even manages in a mere four minutes, to bring the listener from a smile to a tear and bring back, is phenomenal. Let nothing stop you from listening to Tori Sparks. Her dynamic live show is equal parts soulful singing and zany stand-up-style humor, and falls somewhere between Dixie rock, folk blues, and Americana. She appears with her band for the first time at SCT.

“Here’s a singer/songwriter with the strong, eloquent vocals of Bonnie Raitt and the guitar mastery of Joni Mitchell... a bounty of subtle rock and haunting blues."
-Nancy Dunham, Relix


“Tori Sparks is one of those independent singer-songwriters who’s so driven it seems like signing with a record label would only slow her down. Sparks sings with distinct intensity—Scorpion is bluesy folk-rock in a Tom Waits vein: rough-edged, worldly-wise and potent.
-Jewly Hight, The Nashville Scene

-Jewly Hight, The Nashville Scene

“Tori has obviously lived the stories she weaves… and she not only sings, she can also play. The often shockingly good text of the songs are built on a musical “background” of many colors, including folk, rock, and blues elements. …Fortunately, Tori Sparks, is not in the camp of those artists enrich, whom they say, ‘if you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all.’ The songs are diverse, and each contains a spark of the ‘unusual.’ They will convert anyone who listens to The Scorpion In The Story album.”
-Czékus Mihály, Gondoal (Hungary)

“For Yuledance: A Celtic Christmas Celebration, the guys are joined by vocalist/harpist Jesse Autumn, whose unbelievably fragile voice and gentle harp nicely balance the manly men on their high-energy instrumentals. Yuledance bursts with Celtic charm and enthusiastic professionalism... I have always loved the delicate Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming, and the piece is perhaps my favorite on the album. Jesse Autumn’s heartbreakingly beautiful vocal will bring tears to your eyes; she is also rapturous on Drive Sorrows Away and Silent Night.” — Carol Swanson, christmasreviews.com

Molly's Revenge is a dynamic, acoustic Celtic band known for its unique and infectious enthusiasm. The classic combination of bagpipes, whistle, fiddle, and song, with a backdrop of guitar, bouzouki, bodhran, and mandola, guarantees an enjoyable experience for all fans of Scottish and Irish music.

Moira performs often with Molly's Revenge as a special guest vocalist.

"There is an engaging freshness and yet an impressive maturity in their playing. There is also a lovely balance of repertoire, alternating a familiar with a most arcane selection of tunes and songs." --Mick Moloney, National Heritage Award recipient.

"The instruments are traditional... but the wild passion they exhibit is thoroughly modern." --MetroSantaCruz (CA)

"Revered in California as one of its most energetic, exciting and innovative bands, Molly's Revenge has a produced an album that is a total joy." --Shay Black, of the legendary Black family.

"They bring to the music a vital and joyous creativity that excites even the hardest of hearts." --John Doyle, founding member of Solas.

A momentary lapse of sanity that became an annual holiday tradition spanning over 30 years:

A small group of pals living in Mill Valley, California, in the mid 70s with a penchant for Kentucky bourbon formed Monday Night Wild Turkey Jug Band. From Yellow Springs, Ohio, Gregory Leroy "Duke Dagreeze" Dewey (Mad River, County Joe & the Fish, Marty Balin), his brother - Nicholas Q (Not Joe) Dewey, and their partner in "The Reptile Brothers Band," Tim Eschliman (Commander Cody, Etta James) started the weekly Appalachian-style jug jams with the Deweys' roommate, Paul Wenninger (from Chicago, road manager for Van Morrison, Dan Hicks).

Spur-of-the-moment street corner appearances, instigated by Dan Hicks (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) around the same time also had a jug band instrumentation and included many of the same musicians. The Monday Night Wild Turkey sessions lasted only 10 weeks, but had many guests stopping by, including Hicks; L. D. Armstrong (Rowdy and the Rivets), Austin de Lone (Eggs Over Easy, Commander Cody), and other local musicians mostly from the Old Mill Tavern music scene.

The jug-jam sessions were about creating new tunes, new lyrics, or just new grooves with an acoustic, backwoods, jug sound. A harmonica, old arch top f-hole type guitars, a jaw harp, a washboard, a washtub bass and even coat-hangers banged on the edge of the old wooden kitchen table became the desired sounds of the group. To preserve the creative spontaneity, cover songs were generally forbidden and to maintain the funky, down-in-the-holler home-made instrument kind of sound, pianos, professional-sounding dread-naught sized guitars and any other instruments deemed "too-good-sounding" were discouraged. Carbon-date testing of left over Kentucky bourbon decanters from those sessions point to the year 1976.

Many original holiday numbers, parodies of unlikely classics, and raucous jugbandizations of seasonal favorites were added to the band's song list and in 1987 Globe Records released the band's first album, "Mistletoe Jam" (on green vinyl) and the group officially became "The Christmas Jug Band."

Twisted traditional tunes and loads of witty originals about boozy holidaze, elfin insurrection and the pressures of being Santa Claus in the run-up to Christmas Eve's big show. With titles like Santa's Going Crazy This Year, Shoot 'Em in the Pants, and Evathang Gonna be All Right, you know you're not exactly in for a high holy Mass, so loosen up them suspenders, you're in for a treat replete with kazoo, washboard, slide whistle, and all the genre paraphernalia. Along the way, expect lampoons of standards chockablock with a lotta new shtuff.

Come have some holiday fun and cheer, and enjoy some great music too!

Swingin’ tunes! Cowboy crooning! Yodeling pyrotechnics! Side-splitting humor! Yes folks, all this and more can be yours at the only show on the planet where you can witness a man in a ten gallon hat, yodel, play accordion, two-step and twirl a lariat - all at the same time. Sagebrush artist, Sourdough Slim, transport us to a whimsical, infectious world where vaudevillian camp and cowboy lore intermingle, producing grins galore, with the Saddle Pals, providing that great "silver screen" cowboy trails music we all love.

The Faux Renwahs are an acoustic trio, specializing in Old-Time style music with an original twist. Using traditional instruments including fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, octave mandolin and bass violin, they cover a wide range of music. American and Celtic fiddle tunes, old and new songs blend harmoniously with their own compositions.

Add in Robert Arstrong and you have a great combination of music and fun!

The power and texture in her voice are matched by the imagery and emotion of her lyrics and melodies. All this, done with a knack for leading listeners straight to the heart of a song, leaving them wanting more. Fusing alternative country, roots rock, and folk music with rare style and intelligence, Lucy presents her thoughtful songs about the human condition with warmth and power that compliments Kaplansky's velvet-lined low-register vocals in perfect measure. Since she left a career in clinical psychology for full-time singer-songwriterdom a decade ago, Lucy has released six solo albums, including Ten Year Night, which received the Association For Independent Music Award for Best Pop Album in 1999, teamed with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell to form supergroug Cry Cry Cry.

Her music is hauntingly poignant. Her lilting vocals and beautiful lyrics combine to mesmerize the listener drawing you in and leaving you hanging on her every word.
