Friday, March 12, 2010   8:00 PM   ($12/$15)
It’s been too long since we last grooved to the rhythmic melodies and the oh-so-sweet vocal harmonies of Joe & Tree. Their folk and blues tinged originals take you on an evocative sojourn through the terrain of love’s heady peaks and joyful vales, its hardscrabble declines and restorative resolve. Some songs are the stories of characters caught up in their lives, some are from personal perspectives: all are compelling. Joe’s dexterous guitar playing and fine tenor complete Tree’s lissome vocals and undulating percussive accents. We’re thrilled that these Kerrville music festival faves are returning. Don’t miss them.
Sally’s muse lured her at age 11 to a self instructed guitar style and songwriting influenced by that of Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Sandy Denny and Harry Belafonte along with flavorings of bluegrass and folk-rock. Jamming with 60’s luminaries such as Peter Rowan, The Beach Boys, and Mama Cass Elliot lead Sally to share stages with notables John Prine, Doc Watson, Rev. Gary Davis, Leon Redbone, Odetta and Roger McGuinn and introduced her stunning voice and captivating songs to fans from California to Europe. Gurf Morlix, Susan Cowsill and Peter Holsapple (REM) are just a few of the talented musicians included on Sally's new CD, "Made Of Stars", which will have its premiere with us tonight.

 New Discoveries
 Featuring some of our favorite up-and-coming performers from the prestigious Kerrville New Folk competition.
As one who is able to give expression to our own shared memories and dreams, Drew captures the spirit and longing of our time. Growing up in Michigan, he escaped the narrow confines of his Midwestern upbringing by joining the Navy and traveling the world. He shares that insight with songs filled with discovery, revelation, and hope.
Born in Ontario and growing up on a commune in Virginia, Devon recorded her first record and began touring nationally before the age of eighteen. Her music shares elements of folk, country, and jazz, delivered in an affecting, personal style, and there’s usually a surprise coming just around the corner that will undoubtedly get your attention.
Boston-based singer/songwriter Chris is an artist on the rise, having been chosen from a pool of over 1000 contestants in their twenties to appear on Prairie Home Companion in 2007, as well as recognition from radio and festivals throughout the country. With his soulful vocals and compelling lyrics, an evening with Chris is one you won’t soon forget.

Bill Hearne & Michael HearneListen to Bill at My Space YouTube
Listen to Michael at My Space YouTube
Bill & Michael, uncle and nephew, are both longtime veterans of the Southwestern music scene, centered in their home state of New Mexico, with a down-home sound that might be called Americana, Roots, Western, even Country. Whatever you call it, it’s just good music.
A longtime Calvin’s fave, Bill is a renowned interpreter, wrapping his warm baritone and fabulous flat-picking guitar licks around some of the best songs that others have to offer. After 35 years of performing with wife Bonnie, he is now forging a new path as a solo performer with the same great style and same great songs. He is one musical legend who has never forsaken his roots, and we are all the better for it.
Native Dallasite Michael is described variously as a songwriter’s songwriter, a guitar genius, a legend in his home city of Taos and throughout the Southwest. He continues to leave an indelible mark on his audiences not only with his signature guitar sound, but also with songs and stories that are rich in lyrical prose, imagery, and humor. He’ll be performing with his band South By Southwest.
