| Ameranouche
|
Hot Gypsy Jazz - This group is dedicated to the music of Django Reinhardt
and the spirit of Jazz Manouche. They play
original music and traditional songs of Cole Porter, Hoagie Carmichal and George Gershwin in the celebrated gypsy jazz form. This music was
popular in the early 1920's and combines jazz
with the "traveler" gypsy style music. Website - Ameranouche.com

| New To Us: |
| The Barefoot Boys |
The Barefoot Boys (Rich Bala, Tom White, and Rick Hill) perform traditional folk music of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley. They also play more recently written songs (by artists such as Pete Seeger, Stan Rogers, Si Kahn, Bill Staines, and John McCutcheon) that reflect the spirit and and recall the sound of the old songs. They've performed extensively around the Hudson Valley and throughout the Northeast and play a wide array of instruments, including guitar, harmonica, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, concertina, and both mountain and hammered dulcimer.

| Boréal Tordu
|
Maine Acadians have been harboring a rich musical culture underground for generations. Now, there is a new music rising up out of Maine steeped in that tradition with a fresh take on familiar ground. Boréal Tordu has played to enthusiastic English and French speaking audiences throughout New England, The Adirondacks in NY, Quebec, and the Canadian Maritimes. They have been featured three times on Maine's 207, NPR, CIFA Radio 104.1 Nova Scotia, WMPG 90.9 Portland, ME, CBC Radio Canada, Lakes Region Radio 94.1 Poultney, VT and Robert Resnick's, All the Traditions on Vermont Public Radio.
