Zimbabwean singer-songwriter Oliver Mtukudzi performs in the unique style of tuku, which combines African beats with lyrical stories sung in his native tongue of Shona.

Playing an acoustic set or leading his nine-member band, the Black Spirits, Mtukudzi makes his messages dance.

Laura Love is a rare recording artist - authentic and deeply rooted, with extremely diverse audience appeal. Her style is dificult to describe. She is an African-American funk bassist with an astonishing voice, who is greatly influenced by blues and bluegrass, jazz, folk, gospel, reggae and country. Laura sometimes refers to her style as "folk-funk", "Afro-Celtic" or "hip-Alachian". Regardless of how she is described, Laura has an uncanny ability to get her audience to listen beyond their own musical boundaries.

Fred Eaglesmith
Where: Birchmere
Date: 2008-06-04 19:30:00
Type:
Fred Eaglesmith plays a blend of rock, folk, country and everything in between. Alt-country singer/songwriter Mary Gauthier exploded onto the scene in 1999 following her self-released sophomore effort, 'Drag Queens in Limousines.' The album, which garnered her a Crossroads Silver Star and a four-star rating in Rolling Stone, had critics comparing her self-described "country noir" to the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine, and, not surprisingly, Lucinda Williams. The success of 'Drag Queens...' led to main-stage shows at festivals around the country and multiple tours in Europe. Embraced by critics, folkies, and "No Depression" fans alike, Gauthier's warmly candid treatment of her fringe-dwelling subjects rings true, as it never verges on sentimental; her characters' downtrodden lives are never coldly exploited.
