Ellis Paul (w/Radoslavi Lorkovic) is a LONG TIME favorite of Liz and mine, Ian took away his previously scheduled show of Oct 2022 and are thrilled he committed to rebook, despite his very full itinerary! Ellis doesn't just write songs; he's a guitar-carrying reporter who covers the human condition and details the hopes, loves, losses of those he observes, turning their stories into luminous pieces of music that get under your skin and into your bloodstream. A show not to be missed!!
Radoslav Lorković (w/ Ellis Paul) is a Croatian-born and classically trained folk and blues musician, known in particular for his flair on the piano and accordion. He has six solo studio recordings, three live albums and has recorded and performed with numerous artists including Odetta, Asleep at the Wheel, Jimmy LaFave, Shawn Mullins, Greg Brown, Richard Shindell, Ellis Paul, Susan Werner, Ronny Cox, Dave Moore, Andy White, Bo Ramsey, and Ramsay Midwood. His 49 year career as a touring musician has taken him around the world, where he has performed from castles in Italy to Carnegie Hall.
Joe Downing is a Recording Artist and Nashville Songwriter. Beach vibes and good times, Trop Rock and chill rhymes permeate his first two full length albums and remind his fans and friends of the good things in life. His song "YOLO" received nominations for Single Of The Year by the Trop Rock Music Association in 2020! What could be more appropriate?
Kristy Lee's raw authenticity has captured the hearts of a loyal international fan base as well as some of music’s top names. She has toured and shared the stage with Leon Russell, Zac Brown Band, Indigo Girls, G. Love & Special Sauce, Jack Johnson, Jason Isbell, Sister Hazel and Imagine Dragons – to name a few.
Mike Nash has spent well over a decade on the road-touring the US, Caribbean, Mexico and Central America-and building a grass roots fanbase for his original music. With story teller songs about life and love, lyrical tales from the unique people he's met along the way, and of course plenty of summertime "drinkin' at the lake tunes" with an island-inspired twist, there's something in a Mike Nash show for everyone to relate to. Mike's music has been used in television programs and he is the founder of the annual event; Meeting Of The Mayans
Sam Robbins describes himself as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville based musician whose music evokes classic 70's singer songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young. Halley Neal is a folk-pop singer and songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Inspired by 70’s artists like Joni Mitchell and Fleetwood Mac as well as modern day singer-songwriters. Sam and Halley both were recently (July, 2024) selected and awarded "Emerging Artists" and performed as opening acts for Jason Mraz. Their chemistry together in mesmerizing!
Alice Wallace RETURNS, her show here in 2023 was so spectacular, we immediately invited her back! She was named 2017 Female Vocalist of the Year by the California Country Awards and her voice has been called “a powerful natural occurrence… an awe-striking wonder" by Saving Country Music. She previously released five solo albums, the latest released (fantastic album!) in July 2024 "Here I Am", her previous album, "Into the Blue", earned recognition from Rolling Stone Country with the title track being named one of the Best Americana Songs to Hear Now.
