Albert Lee

Albert Lee is a Grammy Award-winning British guitarist and multiple recipient of Guitar Player Magazine’s “Best Country Guitarist” who is celebrated by fans and musicians the world over for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique. Lee has worked both in the studio and on tour with many notable musicians from a wide range of genres including ERIC CLAPTON, the EVERLY BROTHERS, BILL WYMAN, EMMYLOU HARRIS, JOE COCKER, JACKSON BROWNE, ROSANNE CASH, and more.

Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca

Ricardo Lemvo has established himself as a pioneer with his innovative music. Lemvo’s blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan-African styles (soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba) has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “seamless and infectious.”

Lemvo is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. He is truly multi-cultural and equally at home singing in Spanish, Portuguese, Kimbundu, Turkish, Lingala, and Kikongo.

Abby Posner & the Big Fall
Abby Posner is a genre-defying multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer originally from the mountains of Colorado. Recently featured on NPR’s Mountain Stage, Posner captivates audiences with a dynamic sound that blends haunting folk with high-energy Americana and infectious, foot-stomping anthems. Think Chris Thile meets The Lumineers—raw, powerful, and irresistibly engaging.

Jason Luckett
Musician and writer Jason Luckett, raised in Southern California with roots in Mai

Gill Landry / opener Kiki Cavazos
Sunday December 6th, 8:00 pm

Gill Landry is a two-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and former member of Old Crow Medicine Show. Over the course of six solo albums, Landry has developed a body of original work rooted in American folk, country, blues, and the darker corners of the singer-songwriter tradition, marked by outcast characters, restless travel, and a dry, unsentimental lyricism. A Louisiana native and longtime road musician, he has spent more than two decades performing across the United States and Europe. His most recent album, Cinnamon Canyon Blues, was recorded in London and released in 2024.

JUST ANNOUNCED!

Gill Landry / opener Kiki Cavazos
Sunday December 6th, 8:00 pm

Kiki Cavazos is a Montana-born songwriter whose life has followed the same restless roads that run through her songs. After leaving home young, she traveled through Alaska and Mexico before landing in New Orleans, where she formed Sundown with Alynda Lee Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff and Sam Doores of The Deslondes. Her spare, deeply lived-in songs draw on heartbreak, wandering, mountains, trains and the disappearing American West, earning comparisons to Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley and Lucinda Williams. Cavazos has appeared at Newport Folk Festival and opened for Big Thief and The Deslondes. Her 2026 album Goodbye Blues, produced by Doores and released by Jalopy Records, captures her at her most elemental, with little more than acoustic guitar, voice and songs that feel less written than survived.
