12 – 12:20 p.m. – The Lindybops
Led by Sandy Lindop, the Lindybops grab everyone’s favorite jazz standards and shine them up for an engaging, personal and quirky look at the Great American songbook. This duo featuring bassist, Colin Williams, swings their way through ballads, swing tunes, and straight ahead jazz with panache and a great love for the jazz of yesteryear!
12:20 – 12:50 – Tracy Blackman (heartfelt singer-songwriter)
Tracy Blackman is an award-winning, musical performing and recording artist residing in Marin County. She has three albums released under her own name including Come Take My Hand (1997), Could I Be (2012) and most recently Mercy (2014). Her performing career began at the age of 18 with various folk, world, Top 40 and rock groups, singing and playing piano and guitar. Her desire to showcase her own music led her to form her own bands. She grew musically, settling deeply into her life as a performing musician by fine-tuning her skills with tours and weekly gigs.
Her dynamic and powerful voice has the ability to transport the listener into the heart of any song she sings. As a songwriter, she pens songs that deeply touch the soul with infectious hooks and grooves melded with a tasteful fusion of blues, pop, jazz and rock reminiscent of Rickie Lee Jones.
12:50 – 1:20 – Timothy O’Neil (folk ballads to punk rock sound)
Timothy O’Neil is a songwriter from Temecula, California, currently submerged in the Sonoma County Americana scene, Timothy O’Neil Band bares its influences of punk-rock and mixes it into songs, nodding to genres of bluegrass, folk, and singer-songwriter. Timothy O’Neil Band’s new record entitled “T.O.B.”, contains energy-ridden steam-punk anthems and soulfully honest folk ballads with an undeniable edge in their sound. Be prepared to sing along and have one hell of a good time.
1:20 – 2 p.m. – Dirty Cello (blues and bluegrass)
From China to Italy, and all over the U.S., Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ bluegrass, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!
“When lead guitar is replaced by the sound of hot licks on a cello, blues, rock and bluegrass rise to a new dimension. Dirty Cello makes its style of string music to inspire audiences to swing, sway and dance.” Ashland Daily Tidings
