May 18, 2008	Joe Ebel & Annie Lalley [Joe] - [Annie]
	For singer-songwriter Annie Lalley, making things beautiful is as natural as breathing.  Annie Lalley does life from the heart. And then there's “The Voice.” Accomplished to the point of being able to perform anything from classical to Broadway, jazz to contemporary folk, Lalley's "spine tingling" vocal style for her original songs ranges from naked tenderness to sultry pop. Joe Ebel, is a working songwriter who uses acoustic steel string guitar and five-string violin to create heartfelt instrumental pieces with emotional content and lasting melodies. Joe is a master musician, who will entertain and amaze with his playing.
June 8 , 2008	Jamie Laval & Ashley Broder [Jamie] - [Ashley]
	“The amount of energy and sound that belts out from just the two musicians [Jamie & Ashley] is mesmerizing. This is roots-based progressive acoustic string music that inspires, intrigues, and above all else, entertains.” (Knoxville Metro Pulse, 9/30/07). Jamie won the 2002 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship. Ashley is a two-time winner of the Western Open Master Picker Championship. There is effortlessness about Ashley’s playing. Whether it be a virtuoso mandolin solo break, a languorous cello line, a fancifully crafted original composition, or a clear-toned tune from her fiddle, her music spins out like a sinuous ribbon of pure fun.

Come join us in a smoke and alcohol free, friendly atmosphere and enjoy great music. Coffee, tea and baked goods are sold for your enjoyment.
