Kathy Mattea is an accomplished singer/songwriter in the country vein with a touch of Joni Mitchell-influenced folk. Some of her hits include 'Goin' Gone' and 'Where've You Been.' 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.

Wearing Mexican wrestling masks, Los Straitjackets play energetic, instrumental surf rock, although their most recent effort features vocals from many special guests. Paul Cebar and the Milwaukeeans kick out dance floor groove with deep soul. They bring a truly global perspective to their music. Their Memphis-style R&B, bluesy up-beat shuffles, rock-steady reggae, samba and rollicking Tex are all danceable.

Suzy Bogguss did her first tour out of an old camper truck, driving from town to town and working the local music clubs and coffee houses. She's come a long way since then; she's a top-flight Nashville country singer/ songwriter working with the likes of Chet Atkins, Steve Dorff and her husband Doug Crider, and nine studio albums and a command performance for President Clinton and Mrs. Clinton are just a few of many career high notes.
