Mary McCaslin   and  Late Boomers
Click artist/group name to link to websites

Mary McCaslin represents an unbroken link between traditional folksingers and today's "new folk" singer-songwriters. Her music ranges from ballads of the old west to her own songs of the new west and modern times. Regarded as a pioneer of open guitar tunings, and known for her distinctive vocal style, Mary's influences can be heard in many younger folk performers. She is also known for her haunting renditions of pop standards and rock classics, such
as "Ghost Riders In The Sky", "The Wayward Wind",
the Beatles' "Things We Said Today", and the Supremes' "My World Is Empty". Her versions of the Beatles' "Blackbird" and the Who's "Pinball Wizard" are made more unique by her "clawhammer" banjo accompaniment.

Acoustic guitar duo Late Bloomers
(Randy Browning and Brett Kinney) combine original songs and instrumentals with a fresh approach to traditional tunes. Their innovative style blends folk, blues, jazz, and ragtime. Their music was recently honored with the prestigious "New Folk" award at the 34th annual Kerrville Folk Festival. They've performed at venues including: the Boston Folk Festival, the Blackstone River Theatre, House of Blues, and the Cape Cod Pride Festival
. Dirty Linen Magazine calls them "skillful, charming, and quite entertaining", while Metronome Magazine describes their music as "exquisite
and truly remarkable."
