Ian Thomas
After traveling for years as a street performer, Ian Thomas began performing ‘indoors’ in New York City where he recorded his debut album A Young Man’s Blues and his follow-up Live at Rockwood Music Hall. Since then he has shared the stage with Taj Mahal, John Hammond, Cyril Neville, Corey Harris, Sam Bush, The Wood Brothers, The Avett Brothers, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Reverend Goat and Dr. John and has performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, Pickathon and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion.
Performing both solo and with a band, Thomas draws on a variety of American roots influences, delivering a captivating, raw live performance and distinctive sound from his original compositions on guitar, harmonica and kazoo. His latest release is the full-band album Live at the Preservation Pub, recorded in Knoxville. www.IanThomasMusic.com www.reverbnation.com/ianthomasmusic, www.facebook.com/ianthomasmusic, www.facebook.com/bandofdrifters

Sweet Bitterroot Band
Like the surprise bloom of Montana’s state flower in June, The Sweet Bitterroot Band blossomed into a partnership in harmony from a spontaneous mountaintop jam session outside Yellowstone National Park. Mary Strickroth, Maria Bisso, and Jenny Golding each bring their own musical style to the stage, creating a tender, powerful & evocative vocal blend. Their eclectic sound spans Americana, soul, new-grass, and folk genres, accompanied by six-string guitar, tenor ukulele, and the occasional cheese grater or kazoo.
