STAIRWELL SISTERS (Bay Area)
This all-girl old-time stringband just celebrated their 10th anniversary!
The sisters mix old-time and original tunes so well that only historians might know which is which, although their new single is a more rootsy version of Bruce Springsteen's "Youngstown." The rowdy quintet has appeared just about everywhere, from A Prairie Home Companion to New York's Lincoln Center, from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to the "V for Violins" spot on Elmo's World. Sing Out magazine called the Stairwell Sisters' third CD, "Get Off Your Money," "their best yet... they play the heck out of their material... mountain music with total commitment and almost unbridled energy, exuberance and abandon." Infusing the old music with intoxicating energy and soul. The stairwell has never sounded better.

THE COUNTRY MOURNS (SF)
The Country Mourns is the all-new country duo from singer songwriter, MISISIPI MIKE and fire-hot fiddle palyer, JODY RICHARDSON.
"When I first moved to SF some 16 years ago, I looked around town for some genuine hillbilly music, like the music I grew up listening to in The Ozark Mountains of Missouri, and one night I stumbled upon "Hillbilly Hayride" a monthly series at the Make-Out Room hosted by the one and only Misisipi Mike. Mike will never admit it, but he's a hero for SF Bay Area urban hillbilly music and the hardest workin’ man on the local music scene. He will be missed" -shelby
His song "Calling The Shots" was featured on the 4th season premiere of TRUE BLOOD!

THE BETTER HAVES (SF)
Husbands & wives don't tend to end well in country music. But somehow this team of married couples seem to make it work. Spotlighting the vocal dynamite of Lil' Anne Arnhym & Lynne Maes and backed up by their husbands, Bay Area classic country and rockabilly veterans Greg Yanito & Hank Maninger, we guarantee foot stompin', beer drinkin', old-time country music and honky-tonk dancin' until yer feet fall off.
