“This trio’s stylistic genesis–as well as title–stems from the realization that the great heritage of strings (guitars and violins) originates mutually with the Manouche gypsies of France and the no-less virtuosic hillbilly pickers and fiddlers of Oklahoma and Texas. Together for over 15 years and a dozen albums, the threesome of high-heeled violinist Elana James, guitarist Whit Smith and bassist Jake Erwin showed from the beginning that jazz and country music could exist together on the same page, a highly commendable achievement if ever there was one.” – Wall Street Journal.

Raising money to help support Lincoln County Toys for Tots.

When describing songwriter Lilli Lewis, we’re going to rely on Rolling Stone’s recent review of her appearance at AmericanFest, “Among many highlights was New Orleanian singer-pianist Lewis’s almost hymn-like reading of Radiohead’s “Creep” for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong. But at least for the night, in that moment, everyone did.” Grateful Web says of her recent album, Americana, “it demonstrates a caliber of genius. She launches songs gently, sweetly and then soars effortlessly. When Lewis
hits the high notes, she personifies a contemporary Jessye Norman, if folk-rock had been her genre.”
