Links An American Starlet Hailing from Seattle these guys are one of my two favorite bands. Carmaig DeForest Christian Kiefer Dallas Wayne David Hopkins Etienne De Rocher Jamie Alessio Most of what I do would not be possible without him. Click him. Jenni Alpert Jenny Scheinman You say violinist. I say fiddler. However you put it, you can't get much better than Jenny. Check her site to see what she's up to. Also hear her show that fiddle who's boss on Dogwood Winter. Laura Veirs Laurie Lewis A grammy nominated singer and songwriter. An accomplished guitar player and not too shabby on the fiddle either. Check out Laurie's site and go see her! You can also hear her on Dogwood Winter. Markus Rill Markus hails from Germany. He's got a great sound, and he's a great guy. Milton Mapes Some more friends from Austin. Fabulous band. I've been lucky enough to do a few tours with them. Click 'em. Mo’s Melody Mansion Nathan Hamilton & No Deal From Austin, TX. My other favorite band. Nels Cline A guitar player of the highest order. He's one of the "good guys". When I get up in the morning and he's not on my couch, the world seems oddly out of balance... Hear Nels on any number of recordings (check his website) including Dogwood Winter. Nino Moschella Songwriter, singer, guitar player, drummer, mix engineer and producer. And he's top-notch at all of them. If I didn't love him so much I'd have to hate him. Noe Venable One of my favorite songwriters. Noe's new record, 'The World is Bound by Secret Knots' is out now on Petridish records and can be purchased at her site. Also hear Noe's unmistakable voice on Dogwood Winter. Old Crow Medicine Show Scott Miller Fellow Commonwealther. Amazing songs. You need to hear them. Sonic Bay The Bazaar Cafe Todd Sickafoose You can purchase 'Dogs Outside' by the Todd Sickafoose Group by visiting the site.
