MISISIPI RIDER (SF / St. Louis, MO)
The return of San Francisco's own super-group of red-hot pickers, singers, preachers, wood carvers, doll makers, whiskey drinkers, and dance hall girls. Born on the banks of the Mississippi River, brothers Misisipi Mike and Cree Rider came into bluegrass and Americana music through their stepfather and legendary banjo master John Hartford. As young boys they toured up and down the Mississippi River on a steamboat, not as musicians, as one would think, but swabbing it's deck and posing naked for infamous cartoonist R Crumb.

JON LANGFORD & SALLY TIMMS (Chicago)
Both Jon and Sally are members of legendary punk band The Mekons (formed at the University of Leeds in 1977). Since the mid-1980s Jon has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock. He has released a number of solo recordings as well as recordings with other bands outside of The Mekons, most notably the Waco Brothers, which he co-founded after moving to Chicago in the early 1990s. He is involved with the Chicago-based independent record label Bloodshot. While singer- songwriter, Sally Timms has recorded several records herself - her music is often placed under the genre of alternative country.

BROWNCHICKEN BROWNCOW STRINGBAND (West Virginia)
Blending old-time fiddle music with shades of gypsy, folk, jazz, Celtic, and bluegrass, BrownChicken BrownCow StringBand, deliver a fresh sound with a driving rhythm and sophisticated melodic arrangements. They play waltzes, reveries, reels, and stomps - and move from romping jigs and swinging dances to seductive ballads, uniquely styled covers, and wholly original songs about love, relationships, coal miners, tragic murders,
driving with red glasses, and storms that won’t drown out their sound. This is music the entire family can enjoy.
