Peppino D'Agostino - Saturday, March 27 at 7:30 pm
Declared as one of "...today's greatest acoustic guitarists" by Peter Finger, D'Agostino's sound is what he describes as "Minestrone Music" - music that reflects his Italian heritage while honoring the complexity and versatility of the guitar. D'Agostino can sometimes be seen with an egg shaker or maraca in his right hand while continuing to play his guitar with his left; it's absolutely amazing to watch! He loves music and adapting his performance to the audience, with some humor and stories thrown in. He sees himself as a filter between the music and the audience, with the task of engaging and taking the audience on a musical journey for the evening. Tickets are $18 until the date of the performance, $20 at the door.

Marjorie Thompson - Saturday, April 24 at 7:30 pm
Marjorie has appeared before at 6OTS, and wowed the audience with her finger picked blues, her stories of blues performers, and her renditions of several familiar Beatles tunes. Singing in the rags and root style, Marjorie writes and sings songs of life with a heartfelt passion. These songs are sometimes quirky, sometimes humorous, but all come from her living her life to the fullest and pursuing her musical muse. Wherever her talent and inspiration comes from, her friend and mentor Jorma Kaukonen and his wife Vanessa urged her to take her music to audiences around the world - and we're glad they did!
