Bill Staines is back—one of our favorite shows! Bill has been delighting audiences across the country for over 30 years. Singing mostly his own songs, from traditional folk tunes to more contemporary country ballads, Bill weaves a blend of wit and gentle humor into his performances. As one reviewer wrote: “He has a sense of timing to match the best stand-up comic.” Come prepared to join in on the choruses!

The music of Steve Gretz and Leslie Lee combines their backgrounds in traditional, country and gospel music with their taste for contemporary singer/songwriters. Their performances feature simple but tasteful arrangements of timeless melodies. Steve's guitar is often supplemented by other traditional instruments (mandolin, autoharp, banjo, bass), but the focus is always on thoughtful lyrics and beautiful harmonies.
