Friday September 5th Artist Reception for Jesse Mazzola
Music provided by The Roselee's
|
|
Hollin Gammage-songwriter performer
Hollin Gammage plays. In every sense of
the word, the Atlanta-based songwriter and
performer approaches her craft with
delight. Her live shows often resemble
professional jam sessions, with local
musicians joining her onstage to contribute
fiddle, harmonica, additional guitar parts,
or just sing along. Each performance of a
song is a brand new telling of the story,
from Hollin’s extensive catalogue of
original work to exquisitely re-imagined
covers of songs like Amos Lee’s "Arms of
a Woman" or Prince’s "Purple Rain."
A working songwriter and musician for a
decade, Hollin cut her musical teeth in the
roadhouses of north Florida, often
insinuating herself onstage when the
scheduled band was late to arrive. She’s a
veteran of countless impromptu live jam
sessions, and as a songwriter draws from a
broad range of musical styles, giving her shows
a surprising variety of tone and tempo.
Her smoky voice and gut-level guitar playing have made her a favorite at festivals
throughout the southeast, often sitting in for a song or two in other artists’ sets and then
lending the stage to their talents for her own.
She’s shared billing and stages with Atlanta’s
Sonya Leigh, Gavin Katz of Athens Boys Choir,
Charlotte’s The Near Misses, Boston’s Julie
Shurr, Alabama’s The Wayne Mills Band,
Alabama folk singer Rock Killough, and a host
of other acts representing a wide spectrum of
styles and influences. Hollin insists that there’s a
simple explanation for the ease with which she
complements any number of other sounds. “I just
tell stories and use a guitar as my prop,” she says.
Listen to Hollin’s stories on her MySpace page at
www.myspace.com/hollingammagemusic.

Friday September 12th @7pm Lauren, Ken & Friends
Lauren was a jazzy/bluesy torch singer in Kansas City, Santa Fe, LA and the Bay Area, till she returned
to my folksy roots in Santa Barbara in the 80’s performing in different venues around Santa Barbara
County till she moved to Tehachapi.
Ken started playing harmonica at a very early age.
At age 7 his father "sold grandpa Sam's cello" and bought him a trumpet. Ken studied with the
"maestro", Joseph Valenti for several years, however he gave up horn after an unfortunate "dental accident".
Besides guitar was way "cooler" in the year 1970 !
He discovered accoustic music while working at Shenanigan's in Hermosa
Beach. At this time, he took up the banjo and studied with Alan Wold and the late,
great Steve Libbea
.A few years later, Ken moved to "Fish Camp"
and became "Campfire Ken" , the banjo sing-along guy.
Between 1986 and 1998 he performed more than 1000 shows at Sierra Sky Ranch,
Yosemite Mountain Ranch, Yosemite Trails pack station and later at Bamboola in san Jose.
In 1998 Ken lost his voice for a summer.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise because at this poubt, he
developed "Guitarmonica" ...the art of playing guitar and harmonica
simultaneously (actually banjomonica at the time).
Later Ken met Mr. Vern Smith, a mechanical engineer who invented the hands free
chromatic harmonica .....
Ken and Lauren have travelled to entertain fans from Santa Cruz to
Northern Italy, where they toured with the popular Ciosi Band last summer.

Friday September 19th @7pm
Steve Hepner & Jennie Marie Sept 19th @ 7pm Fun bluegrass, old country, and folk music Jennie Marie meet Steve Hepner
16 years ago when a friend took her out to Old Town Pizza where Steve was performing.
The friendship began right then. Jennie wasn't too shy to get up and sing along when Steve invited her
up to the stage area, after she'd request a song. She quickly became a regular audience member, meeting
some of her closest friends even to this day. Sharing a love for music throughout all the years, they've
finally decided to team up and sing together. In June they performed at Mama Hillybean's as Bill James,
Jennie Marie & Friends, and also with the Jug Band. With any luck, its jut the begining of the duo's musical fun.
Steve, already well known for playing a variety of instruments with a good mix of local bands in Tehachapi.
Hear him on the guitar, mandolin, or banjo, a man of amazing talent. Jennie has always taken any singing oppurtunity
for as long as she can remember. Choirs, Kern County Fair, graduation, weddings, open mic, and sat in with any bands she could.
Jennie plans to eventually pick up the guitar and see where that takes her.

Saturday September 20th @ 7pm-Enrique Acosta
Enrique Acosta has been a playwrite, a director, a actor, a process server, a radio personality, a singer songwriter and several other things he can't mention in polite company. But, because you demanded it, he's dusting off his guitar and coming out of retirement for a rare night of music and stories. Enrique has not taken the stage with his music act in over 5 years and it's only because of you, the Momma Hillybean audience, that he's agreed to come back. Occasionally deep, vaguely charming and always entertaining Enrique Acosta will join us for one night only.

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH @ 7PM
Acoustic Eidolon
From the Vancouver Island MusicFest to the Kerrville Folk Festival, from
the Kennedy Center in D.C. to St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the
Spandau Theatre in Berlin, Germany, people have been praising the sound
of Acoustic Eidolon.
Joe Scott and Hannah Alkire have combined their musical talents to create an
exciting new acoustic instrumental sound. Joe plays an instrument he invented:
the double-neck guitjo, a custom acoustic guitar with two necks, built exclusively
for him. This one-of-a-kind instrument has incredible range and tonal qualities,
sounding at times like a piano, dulcimer or beautiful harp. Combine that with
Hannah's stunning tone and impeccable cello-playing, and you have the ingredients
for some very moving music.
Acoustic Eidolon's recordings are a rich blend of both artists' musical
influences and have been described as pure musical poetry. The bell-like
quality of Joe's unique double-neck guitjo provides a lovely counterpoint
to Hannah's elegantly inspired cello. It is truly a different and enchanting
sound. Their live shows are very entertaining and include a few vocal selections,
as well as pieces that borrow from Celtic, contemporary, bluegrass and Latin influences.

This show is being recorded live for Folk Scene Radio Program
