Cindy Kalmenson
A perfect blend of irresistible tunes and sly, provocative lyrics
Cindy Kalmenson is an original voice in Nashville weaving deep sentiments with honesty and humor. Inspired and influenced by her favorite artists: Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Neil Young, Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris, to name a few, Cindy has developed a unique and heart felt sound very much her own.
Cindy Kalmenson has such a unique voice and singing style that it's nearly impossible to listen to her CDs without hitting the repeat button after every song. And with each listen, a previously unnoticed lick or lyric is revealed. A bundle of exuberance, energy and talent, Cindy writes and performs very accessible music that is one third each country, folk and pop. If her melodies don't get their hooks into you, the lyrics will.
Cindy is also the founder and host of the very successful show she created called Girls with Guitars now in its eighth year showcasing some of the finest singer songwriters in Nashville and visiting touring artists.

Steppin' In It
Traditional music with creative insight
Toting an ample supply of vintage instruments and a sound that brings listeners back to the days of old-time radio, Steppin’ In It is determined to make a dent in the roots community. Hailing from Lansing, Michigan, the heart of Factory Town, USA, these young men pound out their own brand of roots combining old-time country, swing and blues. Together, they achieve the seemingly impossible task of making the most traditional sounds contemporary playing what Performing Songwriter Magazine calls "some of the liveliest and most rocking acoustic roots music around." Upright Bassist Dominic Suchyta and multi-instrumentalist brothers Andy & Joe Wilson compliment the strong songwriting talents and haunting vocals of singer/songwriter Josh Davis.

Enter the Haggis
High energy collision of celtic, rock and world styles.
There aren't many groups in North America who could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music, but Toronto's Enter The Haggis is one of them. To engage this quintet is to indulge rock, fusion, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors. Sounds awfully confused, right? Wrong. ETH is one of those rare jewels that actually pulls it all off as if to own everything.
ETH's live show is a musical feast- viscerally dynamic, emotionally uplifting and intellectually stimulating. The band's oeuvre darts effortlessly from the trad strains of, say, The Chieftains and the Pogues to the frenetic pop of early Elvis Costello and even to the Latin-tinged spirit of the Buena Vista Social Club and beyond, complete with Lewington's deft guitar playing, the reeling of Brian Buchanan's flawless fiddle, the diverse rhythmic machinations of bassist Mark Abraham and drummer James Campbell, and Downie's transporting pipes, not to mention the near-perfect vocal harmonies.

Dan Crary
One of the greatest flatpickers of all time
He is a musical legend, a pioneer of one of the most intricate, yet powerful, forms of American music, and a master of the guitar; he’s Dan Crary, a flatpicking stylist with an international reputation for innovationn, taste and brilliance. As he approaches his 40th anniversary as a performer, Crary is one of the few artists whose work can be said to transcend boundaries of style and genre.
A long and distinguished recording career, featuring solo projects and group efforts and many guest appearances, have brought Dan acclaim as a versatile performer able to range from Mozart to Anglo-American fiddle tunes to moody, evocative original compositions. "Jammed If I Do," with guests Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Norman Blake, and Beppe Gambetta, was hailed as one of the decade’s great gatherings of guitarists, and his albums have garnered awards and rave reviews.
