Even among the pantheon of music’s finest artists, Del McCoury stands alone. From the nascent sound of bluegrass that charmed hardscrabble hillbilly honkytonks, rural schoolhouse stages, and the crowning glory of the Grand Ole Opry to the present-day culture-buzz of viral videos and digital streams, Del is the living link. On primetime and late-night television talk shows, there is Del. From headlining sold-out concerts to music festivals of all genres, including one carrying his namesake, there is Del. Where audiences number in the tens of thousands, and admirers as diverse as country-rock icon Steve Earle and jamband royalty Phish count as a few among hundreds, there is Del.

The harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash like you’ve never heard them…. Sung by women!

Take the beauty and intricacy of the vocal harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash, add the kick-ass voices of three women and you get a CSN experience that transcends the typical tribute band.  CSN’s iconic harmonies are beyond beautiful–and these women add a unique quality—sweet with just a touch of salty! Think angels after a night on the town… 

The concert begins in Australia with Percy Grainger’s Children’s March. The subtitle Over the Hills and Far Away is an ambiguous location where the composer is destined to find his sweetheart. Grainger then takes us to the county of Lincolnshire, on the east coast of England. In Lincolnshire, in the early 1900′s, Grainger recorded folksingers and assembled his iconic collection Lincolnshire Posy. After intermission, Morton Gould reminds us that the only place a soldier wants to be is home. His American Salute is a clever twist on the American Civil War song When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Gould then transports us to the biblical town of Jericho where we can actually hear the walls "come tumblin’ down." 

Next, Julie Giroux brings us to a fictional video game universe where Riften is a city in Skyrim located in the expansive world of The Elder Scrolls. Finally, we return to Earth and Belgrade, Serbia where composer Ante Grgin is the principal clarinetist of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. Be prepared for the unbelievably dynamic performance of Grgin’s Concertino for Clarinet by the phenomenal clarinetist Charlie Suriyakham! Enjoy the journey.

Brooks Williams is one of those select few ‘'how on earth does he do it?” artists. He can sing. He can write. And, man oh man, can he play guitar.

Cambridge UK-based, Statesboro, Georgia US-born, admired by both listeners and fellow musicians, Brooks Williams has been a leading light on the acoustic music scene for three decades. FATEA says his performances show “the greatest level of true expertise.”

Listed as one of the ‘Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists,’ his guitar skills are evident as he effortlessly slides in and out of folk, blues and country. "He was playing Americana before it had been given the name,” says CMP . “How soulful a solo guitarist can be when he has talent, taste and astonishing technique,” writes Blues Revue.

David Francey is a Scottish-born Canadian carpenter-turned-songwriter, whose deeply human songwriting has made him “one of Canada’s most revered folk poets and singers” (Toronto Star).

Immigrating to Toronto at age twelve, Francey spent decades working in rail yards, construction sites, and the Yukon bush, quietly composing songs drawn from everyday life. It wasn’t until his 40s, with the encouragement of his wife, artist Beth Girdler, that he began performing publicly. His 1999 debut album Torn Screen Door was an instant success and launched a celebrated musical career.
