Aug 21, 2010
Orange County’s own Joyce Woodson returns to present her award-winning take on Western music. With crystal clear voice and mellifluous guitar playing, her songs tell stories that bring the characters to life as if they are sitting next to you at the campfire. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Ray Doyle emigrated with his family eventually settling near Hollywood, California. His CD, “The Emigrant Trail”, celebrates his Irish heritage, Western music influences and emigrant experience.

Jeni and Billy share songwriting, arranging, and performing duties to beautifully present their “New Old Music” -- honest portrayals of the lives of miners, preachers, ramblers, lovers, and plain-living folks in Jeni and Billy's bluegrass/folk style.

Oct 16, 2010
Quoting from the Boston Globe regarding Cliff Eberhardt: "Eberhardt is a superb singer, with a vast credible range of emotions, and a soulfulness that draws from rock and pop, but also from the best folk ballad styles." Cindy Kalmenson opens with her award-winning songs that tell stories worth telling, and hearing.
Nov 20, 2010
From a small town in northern Maine, David Mallett’s career spans four decades. His songs have been recorded by more than 150 artists, and his "Garden Song" has become an American folk classic. Starting off the last concert of our season, Phil Christie sings with a smooth, easy tone his richly mellow contemporary folk songs of “love lost, love won, unfulfilled dreams and dreams that could still come true.”
