 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."
