More about
Jay Howlett
Jay Howlett a singer/songwriter with a powerful baritone voice that you can feel. Independent Songwriter Magazine says "Jay's voice carries a profound wisdom and depth that flow out of every breath, every syllable." An accomplished performer with a degree in theatre Jay writes simple honest songs about life in and around America and the experiences that bring us together and tear us apart. Troubadours still exist on the "new folk" scene and this award winning songwriter is one of them. In the last 13 months alone Jay has received honors and awards from Kerrville Folk Festival (Texas), Founders Folk & Bluegrass Festival (Utah), Sisters Folk Festival (Oregon) and Napa Music and Wine Festival (California) and the 1999 "Song of the Year Award" from The Northern California Songwriters Association.

Steve is gaining fans worldwide for his incredibly polished yet personal performances, fiery instrumental work, and award winning 'touch your heart' songs. A man of many musics, Kritzer is as comfortable with Celtic and bluegrass music as he is with traditional folk, country, rock, and big band swing, blending these influences with his own ideas and amazingly diverse musical talents.
More About
Chuck McCabe
A vein of humor and a theme of respect run through McCabe’s distinctly American songwriting. From those clever missives that make us laugh and shake our heads (Don’t be rude to the people who bring your food) to poignant social commentary (Minimum Wager, Deliver us from Evil), McCabe makes us think about how we treat our fellow-man. His delivery demonstrates an understated elegance that is a rare find among performers – especially those who cross the lines between wit and wisdom. He has released four CDs on the BlahBlahWoofWoof label. His 2006 release Sweet Reunion is a culmination of observations about family and heritage, with a subtle underlying message that the past has given us things worth keeping. With such luminaries as Rob Ickes on Dobro, Norton Buffalo on harmonica and Myron Dove on bass, this album produced and recorded by Joe Weed is truly McCabe’s “magnum opus.”
