| Harper - Visit Website | ||
| Part Harmonica wizard and part rhythmic explorer, Harper is a fiery artist who blurs the lines between rock, blues, soul and world music. His trademark virtuoso harp performances, distinctive instrumentation, deeply soulful grooves and instantly memorable songs provide another prime example of why his unique roots music style occupies a category of its own. Harper is able to tap into the kindred spirits running through his traditional and modern influences, borrowing from western and world music, to develop a highly original take on the roots genre. He also takes the harmonica beyond its assigned place. Harper’s innovative use of electronic enhancement and feedback breaks the traditional boundaries of the harmonica, giving his music its distinctive harmonics and effects. | ||

| Paisty Jenny - Visit Website | ||
| This foursome bangs out it's own flavor of straight-at-ya modern rock that has been enthusiastically received by audiences from 15 to 40 throughout the Midwest. Primary songwriter Gregg Lee’s vocals contain a very unique timbre without being over-produced. He punches out a clean yet emotional growl, and the band's live show contains an array of originals that sweep the audience back and forth through an emotional frenzy. | ||

| The Elders - Visit Website | ||
| Take a group of Kansas City musicians with a passion for Celtic music, an Irishman with a love of all things American, and you get a cross-pollination of elements that is high octane and progressive, yet rooted in tradition. These six gentlemen create original music that transcends the stereotypical notion of Celtic music and they deliver it with passion and fire. The songs are mystical, comical, political and cultural, while covering a wide variety of topics such as poverty, civil war, family bonds, spirituality, love and friendship. They tell us stories of people, places and events - some distant, some recent, some real and some imagined. | ||
