Luna is a singer songwriter from Kentucky. Her music is best described as a mosaic of sound that filters through her small town America grounding. Described by some as a “Female Tom Petty” Luna writes about events that could be happening next door to you or across the ocean, depending on your perspective. She is gifted with a voice steeped in Appalachian tradition but never afraid to let guitars drive the message. Her dynamic live shows often begin with her hard driving roots rock sound, then ease into the haunting acapella “Pretty Saro” before kicking back into a rockabilly stomper. Not easily grouped into a folk, country or rock genre, Luna blends all of her influences into an honest sound. Featuring a versatile band that can sound like Buck Owens’s band one second and Led Zeppelin the next, she writes and performs from the heart. Luna has preformed all across the United States as well as in Great Britain. She is always well received by audiences that appreciate pure music.

Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured slide guitarist with Jackson Browne contributing to Jackson’s signature sound and variety of muti-platinum albums. David is also well known for working with many other high profile musicians including Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Rod Stewart and more. Dave is the leader of his own band El Rayo-X and long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry, eye-popping wardrobe and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show.

   Members - Advanced $13.00, At door $15.00
   Non-Member - Advanced $15.00, At door $17.00



There are roots-rockers and then there's Webb Wilder. The self-proclaimed "Last Of The Full Grown Men" is large enough for the big screen, hip enough to star in cult classic B movies, and tough enough to maintain a devoted worldwide fan base through a relentless never-ending tour schedule. More Like Me, his first collection of new material since 2005, is classic Webb Wilder-- an exciting blend of bedrock roadhouse rockers and bittersweet ballads incorporating the roots-rock influences and irreverent attitude and wit that informs Webb's music.

Jony James Band

TICKETS:

Jony James is overflowing with soul. It drips down from his hands onto his guitar, in lyrically urgent bends and intense ethereal assaults. It pours out through his weathered, leathery voice, telling vivid, open-minded tales of a tumultuous life, with his impressive song writing skills. His jovial, yet pensive nature is evident in both his music and stage presence. He is often compared to Stevie Ray Vaughn, however, his persistence on being "Jony" and playing Jony James', original "Survival Blues", sets him apart from the rest of the Blues Shows currently on the circuit.

With the Old Commander himself behind the piano leading the musical mayhem, The Commander Cody Band will rock the place with classic Cody and newer tunes alike. "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette," "Seeds and Stems Again, "Lookin' At The World Thru A Windshield," "Lost In The Ozone," and of course, "Hot Rod Lincoln," all get 110% renditions from George "Commander" Frayne and his band, with lead guitarist Mark Emerick throwing down some of the coolest twang since the days of Bill Kirchen. Their repertoire stretches from old time rock & roll to red neck country, boogie-woogie, Cajun, swing/jazz, basically representing the essence of American roots music.
