JOSHUA LOWE & THE JUNCOS
Growing up listening to his dad’s enormous and eclectic record collection, Joshua immersed himself in the sounds of doo wop, big band, folk and old-timey music. With a deep appreciation for roots traditions as well as a fascination for the history and culture that created such unique and varied styles of music, Joshua’s approach to song writing is steeped in the history and legacy of American music and yet reflects the experience of our modern times. In other words, Postmodern American Roots Music.

HANG JONES
The best Americana songs all have one thing in common: someone has to get shot. Singer/songwriter Stephen Grillos took this to heart when writing the songs for Hang Jones’ debut album The Ballad of Carlsbad County. What began as a collection of bluegrass inspired country-rock songs evolved into a Western Outlaw-themed story album complete with hangings, gunfights, love, sex, and revenge.
LINDSAY GARFIELD
The new musical adventure of Lindsay Paige Garfield, formerly of the San Francisco indie-folk band "Or, the Whale".
Friday May 24th
EMILY JANE WHITE
There’s a rare confidence to Emily Jane White’s songwriting: it’s at once generous and tough-minded, reflective and unsentimental. Her work shares some elements with folk music, but the term does not do justice to her ambitious songwriting and robust arrangements. White possesses a singular voice inspired by the raveled threads of the uncanny in American culture, including depression-era blues and classic works of gothic literature such as Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper.

ELIZA RICKMAN
There is always a hint of menace and reservoirs of force haunting the corners of Eliza Rickman’s voice, whatever register it occupies. Her presence on stage—whether she wears flowers in her hair, or stuffed birds; whether she plays a toy piano or a grand piano—is an enveloping, soft darkness, impossible to ignore.
