While you may not have heard of this group, many of you will recognize Jessica Sheldon from her Open Mic and Local Talent Night performances. Jes absolutely blew us away with her rendition of "Fever" at the Local Talent Night; her forte is the many old torch song ballads and jazz standards and she is not afraid to belt them out! She is accompanied by Bob Tousignant on percussion and Eric Porter on guitar.

It's become a spring tradition for us to bring Phil and Carrie to our stage; this is traditional American music performed at its best. When you add Carrie's fiddle playing and harmonizing to Phil's guitar and lead, you know that you'll have an unmatched duo proudly performing American folk music from the past and present. You'll be encouraged to sing along to some well-known tunes, or tap your toes and clap your hands to some other songs. 
We are pleased to welcome Pat Wictor back to our stage. Pat's performances are a tour through the music that has influenced him growing up, with each song sung with a voice that is clear and true - something especially true on an a capella number. His skill as he plays the slide guitar has been described as "sizzling and snake-y", creeping into your body and wending it's way into your soul. Whether it is his original numbers or an innovative version of a traditional folk song, his singing style and Zen-like calm will leave you wanting more. 
When you think of the legendary Bill Staines, who has been a mainstay in the folk music arena for many years, songs like "All God's Critters (have a voice in the choir)" and "Inch By Inch, Row By Row" immediately come to mind. Many of his songs are beloved by children and we thought this would be the perfect performance as a fundraiser for Oxford's Pumpkin Shell Nursery School. We can guarantee that you'll be singing along with Bill on many songs! Bill will also bring along copies of a picture book for children based on his "All God's Critters" song; this book was just released in January. 
Delta blues are Garry's forte, but he also draws from the music of Chicago, Texas, and some of the British pop influences of the 60's for his unique style. Slide guitar intermixed with smooth finger picking and unusual tunings let you know he understands how to play the subtleties of many of the Blues greats. And his stories of time spent with many Blues legends give you an insight into what formed and grew Blues as its own music form. Philadelphia Jerry Ricks says of Garry "He's so good, it's scary!" Tickets are $12 until the date of the performance, $15 at the door. 
John and Joe are back with us for an evening of music and fun that the whole family will enjoy. These brothers play an amazing array of instruments - guitar, fiddle, uilleann pipe, bodhran, ukulele and more - and bring together songs from their Irish heritage, the folk world, and their own compositions. They will have you singing along, clapping, and tapping your toes - and you may see some of the youngsters in the audience up on stage helping out with some of the songs. 
The first thing most people remember about Garnet is his incredible guitar playing; it's not unusual for him to have 4 or 5 guitars on stage. His smooth baritone voice lures you into his lyrics, and is one reason Garnet is lauded as one of the major musical talents of our times. Garnet enjoys having conversations with his audience, conversations which continue through the lyrics he sings. Passionate yet sensitive; awe inspiring yet witty - this will be an evening you will remember long after you walk out the door and head home. 
Anne is recognized as one of the female stars of the folk world. Her stunning soprano voice draws rave reviews as she sings old traditional songs and many songs she has composed. She has the heart of a poet, blending her words with beautiful melodies springing from that giving heart. Strumming her banjo or singing a capella, you will be mesmerized by Anne's music.
