Baguette Quartette Sunnyvale fans have been calling for an encore from Baguette Quartette, so we are pleased to bring back this period band, last seen here in 2008. Baguette Quartette performs popular French songs of the decades between World Wars, especially valse musette, a blend of French folk music and Gypsy swing that flourished in rough-and-tumble Paris dance halls. Their repertoire also includes foxtrots, paso dobles, tangos, mazurka-like javas and “chansons realiste,” sentimental ballads of tragic heroines.

Dustbowl Revival With critical acclaim from both coasts, Dustbowl Revival is taking the roots music scene by storm. Recently voted Best Live Band in Los Angeles, it merges old school bluegrass, gospel, jug band, swamp blues and hot 1930s swing. No two shows are exactly alike, as this collective “little big band” often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, ukulele, drums, tuba, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica, washboard and a kazoo for good luck.

A devoted, lifelong fan, James Garner’s Tribute to Johnny Cash celebrates the life and music of the Man in Black with strong conviction and stunning accuracy. Garner and his band recreate Cash’s biggest hits, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “I Walk the Line,” and “Ring of Fire” and incorporate historical accounts and personal anecdotes about America’s most beloved singing storyteller in this not-to-be-missed musical event. This is the ideal Valentine for Johnny Cash lovers!

General Admission

Van Anh Vo

Emmy Award-winning composer and Vietnamese dan tranh zither master Van-Anh Vo introduces audiences to the gorgeous traditional music and unique instruments of her native county, including the monochord bao, bamboo xylophone and k’long put. Film fans may know her work from Balinao 52, Daughter from Danang and Village Called Versailles.

Vo was recently named a 2014 Silicon Valley Artist Laureate for her dramatic stage performances, which are “fascinating to hear and fun to watch.”

The County Line Trio After selling out here in 2012, the County Line Trio is back with more hits from the Kingston Trio. Still the record-holder for most albums simultaneously on the Billboard Top Ten, the Kingston Trio’s phenomenal popularity spurred the 1960s revival of American folk music. The County Line Trio’s polished harmonies, acoustic guitar and banjo and comic banter recreate musical history, with faithful renditions of favorites like “Tom Dooley” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”

Golden Bough Sunnyvale audiences can consider themselves lucky indeed, as acclaimed Celtic trio Golden Bough returns this St. Patrick’s Day weekend with an all-Irish program. Lively jigs, reels and hornpipes transport listeners to a country pub or dance hall, as Golden Bough performs on an array of traditional instruments, including Celtic harp, Irish fiddle, mandolin, recorder, accordion, bodhran and pennywhistle. Known for its pristine threepart vocal harmony, Golden Bough is celebrating 35 years of performing together.

The Red Hot Chachkas A longtime Bay Area favorite, the Red Hot Chachkas have stirred up a unique recipe for upbeat klezmer music that’s perfect for this festive time of year. While the band members share a deep commitment to the traditional Old World roots of klezmer, each also adds his or her own flavor – classical violin, soulful clarinet, Balkan accordion, old-timey mandolin, and jazzy bass and drum rhythms from around the world.

Houston Jones

Powerful and loud, Houston Jones revs up the stage with a killer acoustic finale – outstanding original Americana that mixes bluegrass, folk, blues and gospel. The San Francisco Chronicle called Houston Jones “a confluence of sublime talent.” This East Bay band, which includes former members of The Waybacks, has also won rave reviews from NPR’s West Coast Live, Dirty Linen Magazine, and wowed music festival audiences at Telluride, Sisters, American River, Mill Pond and Strawberry.
