Joel Mabus and Alastair Moock
Click artist/group name to link to websites

Joel Mabus defies any easy pigeonhole. By turns, he picks a mountain banjo to accompany an ancient ballad, sings a witty song about modern life, plays a sweet Irish melody on guitar, swings a hot jazz number, and then reaches deep for a soulful expression of values in a troubled world. He tops it all with a fiddle tune or old Carter family song -- all skillfully blended into a seamless flow. A mainstay on the folk circuit these past 30 years, Joel has 18 albums to his credit; the latest are Retold (2008) - new recordings of his early hits and The Joel Mabus Omnibus (2008) - a reissue of two early albums.

Alastair Moock occasionally performs with a band or accompanist, but you’re most likely to find him alone on a stage, sitting in a low chair, stomping his foot, and growling out some of the most beautifully crafted songs you’re likely to hear anywhere. Those songs have won Moock top honors at many of the country’s most prestigious contests, including those at the Falcon Ridge, Sisters, and Great Waters folk festivals. In 2007 he was nominated for a Boston Music Award for Outstanding Singer/Songwriter of the Year. The Boston Globe calls him “one of the town’s best and most adventurous songwriters.”
