Schedule
Jan 21, 2012
Americana singer/songwriter Claudia Nygaard is a born storyteller with a quick wit and a fearless emotional vulnerability. She has been described as “Will Rogers without the rope” for her affable connection with an audience. Phil Christie’s music is an easy blend of folk, Americana, and rock with images of looking back and reflecting on dreams unfulfilled and those dreams that may still yet come true.
Feb 18, 2012
Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen have been performing together for 20 years, bringing together their love of traditional music and their wealth of original songs. Often accompanying themselves with guitar, concertina and banjo, their live performances are known for rich harmony, compelling songs and a good dose of humor. No opener for this event.
Mar 17, 2012
Fur Dixon and Steve Werner combine their unique songwriting visions of life, travel and the American West to feature original and old time songs we all know and love. Their beautiful harmonies include two-part cowboy-style yodeling. Freebo is an award-winning singer/songwriter also known for playing bass with some of the great artists of our time.
Apr 21, 2012
Anaheim Arts Festival preview concert. More details coming soon.
May 19, 2012
Folkworks Magazine says of Susie Glaze & The Hilonesome Band "Susie is justifiably endorsed by Appalachian music legend Jean Ritchie, and the band has a fine repertoire of beyond-bluegrass originals from its chief songwriter, Rob Carlson.” Jeni & Billy’s “New Old Music” harmonies harken to a lost time and reverberate with a rare honesty, as they inhabit the lives of miners, preachers, ramblers, lovers, and plain-living folks.
Jun 16, 2012
The music of Jack Williams is rooted in his native South Carolina. He is among the most dynamic performers on today's folk circuit, and Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul, and Mary) called Jack "the best guitar player I've ever heard." (Opener to be determined.)
Jul 21, 2012
Named among the top acoustic bands in LA (by Folkworks Magazine) and two-time winners of the Orange County Music Award for Best Folk Band, Sligo Rags is a dynamic ensemble presenting Celtic Folk with a decidedly bluegrass attitude. No opener for this event.

Nov 17, 2012
Between them, Cosy Sheridan and T.R. Ritchie have won most of the major songwriting contests in the country. Sheridan has been called "one of the era's finest and most thoughtful singer-songwriters.” Ritchie is a master of understated yet powerful imagery in his songs. No opener for this event.
