SUMMARY:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. \nSince then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as “one of the major talents of our time and a “charismatic performer and singer” (Boston Globe).Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence and a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post)\, his incredible range\, and his thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. \nHis music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humor and lightning-quick wit move his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

SUMMARY:Sol Y Canto
DESCRIPTION:Sol y Canto\, a fixture in Boston’s folk and world music scene for decades\, is the award-winning Pan-Latin ensemble led by Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and percussionist Rosi Amador and New Mexican guitarist\, singer and composer Brian Amador. Featuring Rosi’s crystalline voice and Brian’s lush Spanish guitar and inventive compositions\, Sol y Canto is known for making their music accessible to Spanish- and non-Spanish speaking audiences of all ages. Their original songs can make you dance\, laugh\, cry and sigh all in one concert and their arrangements of classic and contemporary Latin tunes are always fresh and original. With Brian’s commanding\, intricate guitar playing\, Rosi’s rhythmic drive on cajón and bongos\, and liberal use of vocal improvisation\, the duo often sounds like a much larger ensemble. \nSince 1994\, Sol y Canto has brought audiences to their feet from the Kennedy Center to the California World Music Festival to Boston’s Symphony Hall. The Boston Globe hails them as “sublime ambassadors of the Pan-Latin tradition.” Norman Weinstein of the Christian Science Monitorand Boston Phoenix observes: “Always they evoke the sensual splendor of simply being vitally\, vividly alive in a magical and mysterious universe. Brian Amador is a Spanish modernist poet in the guise of a musician…Together\, Rosi and Brian Amador create a musical marriage made in heaven.”

SUMMARY:Vance Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Vance Gilbert\n“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child\, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife\, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert.” \n-Richmond Magazine \nThirty years into his career\, Vance Gilbert’s influence can be felt all over the contemporary Folk and Americana realm as he has helped pave the way for many of the BIPOC artists who have followed.

SUMMARY:Alice Howe & Freebo
DESCRIPTION:Alice Howe & Freebo\nAlice Howe and Freebo present a unique study in contrasts\, bringing together a rising voice in Americana music and a venerable rock\, folk\, and blues icon. Each a compelling performer in their own right\, they both lead and support each other in their well-crafted songs with flawless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. They have worked as creative collaborators in the studio and on stage since 2017. Freebo weaves his unique fretless bass stylings into Alice’s superb vocals for a presentation with undeniable chemistry. \nTo hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural\, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice\, no histrionics — just honest\, authentic\, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her. On Circumstance\, her second and latest album\, the Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter guitarist displays her vocal prowess and introspective writing in abundance\, mining both her heart and her musical tastes for a deep\, personal journey across an Americana soundscape dotted with blues\, folk\, country\, soul\, and rock. Recorded in two sessions at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals\, Alabama\, where Etta James and Wilson Pickett once shook the walls\, the record channels their spirits with 11 stirring tracks that pull no punches diving into the vagaries of the heart and her own personal journey. As an old soul inside a 30-something millennial\, Alice puts her stamp on Americana’s venerable strands with 10 standout originals evoking both the classic singer-songwriters and the seminal music that once filled airwaves\, roadhouses\, and juke joints. \nFreebo is best known for his decade of touring and recording with Bonnie Raitt and has distinguished himself as one of the great bassists of our time\, playing on records with CSN\, Maria Muldaur\, John Mayall\, Ringo Starr\, Dr. John\, and Neil Young as well as appearing on Saturday Night Live\, The Midnight Special\, The Muppet Show\, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap. Not willing to simply rest on those achievements\, Freebo delved more deeply into his creativity and has become a highly regarded singer/songwriter\, now working on his 6th full-length solo CD. A multi–award winner\, he is also a finalist in numerous songwriting contests. Freebo’s music reflects his compassionate concern for the world and people around him\, and his lyrics and open stage banter have helped him connect with listeners worldwide. A live musical experience with Freebo is astute\, insightful\, clever\, and truly melodic.
