A rock n’ roll band in every sense of the phrase, from their late 60’s leanings, and raucous live sets, it’s easy to imagine that they might find themselves out of place in today’s musical climate. It’s a band whose records and live shows demand your attention down to the finest detail. There is urgency in this band that can’t be ignored or passed off.

Namoli Brennet Dubbed “Among the best folk-rock artists in the country” by the Tucson Weekly. She’s a breathtaking and moving performer, and her sweet, roadweary voice is as quick to deliver her wit and humor, as it is a turn of phrase. Among her influences she names Patty Griffin and Eliza Gilkyson, but she manages to carve out a vocal niche of her own using her sweet, edgy alto.

In the mid-sixties outside of Millington, Tennessee, there was a smoky little coffee house that showcased an array of folk and blues musicians. That establishment was owned by Steve Lord, Deirdre’s father, and called “The Broken Banjo�.

If Tim “Too Slim� Langford only played slide guitar, he would slither around most other blues guitarists and put a ferocious bite on their pride. However, as the sole six-string slinger, songwriter and lead singer of the power trio Too Slim and the Taildraggers, he is a total force of nature leaving musical tracks for others to try and follow. Now with 16 albums and countless gigs, he remains as untamed and menacing as ever.

Lukas Nelson & P.O.T.R. (Promise of the Real) are an American rock ‘n’ roll group based out of California. Lukas first picked up the guitar at age 11 to honor a promise he made to his father and was able to teach himself the craft by playing along to classic Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix songs. Lukas is building his following the old fashioned way, by touring year round and delivering high-energy performances to fans across the country. The band played on Neil Young’s record The Monsanto Years released June 29 and in July, toured with Neil Young in support of the release. Don’t miss this event in downtown Oak Harbor.

Nathaniel Talbot
With influences ranging from prodigious guitar pickers such as Doc Watson, Leo Kotke, and Kelly Joe Phelps, to the more soulful folk poetry of Elliott Smith, Gillian Welch, and Paul Simon, the music represents a unique synthesis of old-time picking and the indie here-and-now. Nathaniel combines masterful finger-style guitar work with thoughtful, melodic vocal lines to create a sonic experience that is truly fresh and impactful.
