| Audiences are dazzled by the Del Rey's virtuoso technique and sly humor. As reigning Queen of the Resonator Guitar (and Resonator Ukulele!), Del's playing combines country blues, stride piano, classic jazz, and hillbilly boogie through the sensibility of "an autodidact trailor-park esthete." Her unique guitar style results from the way she channels the sound of the left-hand of boogie-woogie and stride piano. “Rey is one of the greatest modern players of the metal-bodied resonator guitar.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine “To listen to Rey is to abandon all hope of ever viewing the world in the same comfortable way.” Dirty Linen Magazine | ||

| An intuitive and spontaneous composer, Marion feels that her inspiration isn't complicated. Instead of trying to write songs, she prefers simply to pay attention; to stay open hearted and open minded and allow the songs to take shape. Though she plays guitar, piano and mandolin, Marion's true instrument is her voice. It is her voice that has propelled her as a career musician, and it's one you wont' forget once you've heard it. Clear as a bell, expressive as a sunset over the Pacific, you'll feel better just for having heard it. When she is not singing and writing music, Marion spends as much time as she can outdoors, finding inspiration in the beauty of her natural surroundings.... | ||

Born in Los Angeles in 1979, David spent ten years of his life studying and performing classical music as a cellist. Performing at the Ambassador Auditorium, the Hollywood Bowl, and on national television, he won first place awards at numerous competitions, performed in a variety of chamber and orchestral settings, and became a professional musician in the ninth grade as the youngest member of the Debut Symphony Orchestra. He then decided to quit all of that and move to the mountains of the High Sierra when he graduated high school in '98. Since then he's been a serious backcountry bum in the mountains, and has returned to music through songwriting and performing in two local band... |

Storyteller, songwriter, guitarist and "voice-stramentalist" Lipbone Redding, has spent the last 20 years traveling the world collecting and recounting exotic tales through music and performance art.
With humble beginnings as a New York City subway singer, to traveling the world for several years performing with musical artists from many cultures (with extended visits to South America and India), Lipbone now performs in festivals, theaters and concert halls across America and Europe. That’s not a trombone you’re hearing... What began as an attempt to populate his songs with more soloing, has become a trademark and an innovative instrument all its own.

Born of Italian immigrants and union activists, this Long Island, NY native knows about the passionate struggle of the American dream. Joe Iadanza is a late bloomer whose songwriting did not become prolific until his early 30’s with the birth of his first child. “I wanted my daughter to grow up with a dad who followed his dreams.” With his sophomore LP, “All in Good Time”, Iadanza has crafted an album of songs that speak for themselves with a rare eloquence. These 10 tracks, recorded by Evan Brubaker (Edie Carey, Rachel Harrington), and mastered by Grammy Award winner David Glasser, have been stripped to their very essence.

| The many inspired lyrics given to and interpreted by Eli, combined with Bill's bluesy finger-style guitar playing create a very uniquely modern take on true Americana music in its purest form. Receiving much recognition for their tightly woven musical creativity, and have opened for some long time folk music icons, they humbly remain true to their personal values. They speak out with strong heartfelt lyrics accompanied by soulful genuine pentatonic rhythms against social injustices, corporate greed, and daily follies in everyday life. They can grip your heart, search your soul, change a mindset, or softly strike a funny bone, all the while leaving the audience with a sentiment for the common... | ||
