Kevin Neidig

Rarely do you get in one musician the virtuosity of singer, instrumentalist and songwriter. Kevin Neidig brings all three with eloquent effortlessness.

Playing. The unexpected complexity, combined with graceful agility, are what grab you by the throat, compelling you to listen into the wee hours. Kevin possesses an otherworldly ear and literal sleight of hand. Watching his nimble fingers execute a fretboard is like bearing witness to a spider weaving geometry into form. He manages to project a kind of tenderness clad in power, by turns exuding mystery, exuberance and wit.

Singing. From first note, you notice honed, flexible vocals, at once at ease with old-as-the-hills bluegrass as the latest pop number on the radio. There's authenticity underlying all the flow, and a comfort level with an impressive range - high and soulful to deep and baleful. Clear and powerfully emotive, Kevin's voice commands you to listen time and again as you marvel at how your soul is stirred with each play.

Songwriting. Kevin's approach never fails to present a different perspective - lyrically and musically. With his use of intricate timing, ingenuity with keys and tempos, and a dizzying contortion of chords, it's easy to understand why other musicians clamor to play his compositions for the thrill and sheer workout of it. He delivers impeccably crafted, hand-hewn tunes - a perfect turn of word here, transforming melodies there - lush, tuneful journeys not to be missed.

Jacob Johnson

It's been said of Jacob that he is a combination of "James Taylor meets Tommy Emmanuel, with a dash of Dick Van Dyke." His guitar playing and songwriting combine with his quick wit to bring an awesome stage show.

Part virtuoso and part storyteller, you might say that Jacob Johnson does with a guitar what Gene Kelly did with dance. Although his songwriting has won awards and his guitar-playing has put him on stage with Tommy Emmanuel and Phil Keaggy, his ability as an entertainer is what has won fans throughout the southeast. He refers to himself as "a ham that just wants to be on stage" but he’s much more than that. Jacob is an amazingly talented guitarist and songwriterwhich, combined with a bit of a personality, makes for a wildly impressive stage performance.

with the addition of Glen's magic touch.
