Misty Mamas – www.mistymamas.com

This band, together since 2005, has made a real name for itself in the Vancouver/Portland acoustic music scene. Collectively these women have decades of experience playing and singing in harmony. MISTY MAMAS serve up Home-Style bluegrass filled with powerful harmonies, traditional and original songs as well as tasty instrumentals combining the American genres of bluegrass, old time, gospel, folk and country music. Timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics are laced tightly together creating a musical experience rich with history, steeped in tradition and performed with character and exuberance! Released March 2009, Misty Mamas CD, Wild Rose of the Mountain, genuinely captures the essence of these ladies on stage.

The MISTY MAMAS are Carol Harley (who is currently on medical leave), Katherine Nitsch (vocals & guitar), April Parker (vocals, mandolin, accordion) and Eileen Rocci (vocals & upright bass). The Mamas will be joined by Tony Rocci (guitar, mandolin & vocals)

Re-live the fabulous Folk and Bluegrass music scene with the River City Ramblers!  Founded in 1960 and long associated with such artists as the Kingston Trio, the Limelighters and the New Christy Minstrels, the River City Ramblers play the classic, good-vibe, fun songs from the heyday of the 1960s. Also a novelty song or two, and a few surprises along the way! Warm up those vocal cords, because you’ll be singing along to these great songs. From their USO Tours, television appearances, night clubs, coffee houses, and other folk digs around the country, to their corporate banquets, state and county fairs and summer concert series, critics have acclaimed the River City Ramblers to be “The best to have survived the 60s folk
phenomenon, and still going strong today.“

The RIVER CITY RAMBLERS are: Bill Klausman – banjo,  Dave Duthie – bass,  Kevin Neil –  guitar
