Sat. Feb. 9 –  LOREN BARRIGAR  

One could almost say that Loren Barrigar was born with a guitar in his hands. At just four years old he stunned his parents by picking up his father's guitar and announcing he wanted to play "In the Mood" with his dad. They humored him until Loren explained that his dad could take either the rhythm part or the lead, whichever he preferred. Guitar lessons were quickly arranged and two short years later Loren played the Chet Atkins hit, "Yakety Axe" in front of thousands of country fans at the Grand Ole Opry.

Sat. April 13 – Djug Django

Central New York's Premier Gypsy Swing Band.

“Djug Django has a delicacy and refinement we rarely witness in jazz…the group’s overall musicality is on a very high level – sophisticated and dead-on. In fact, there is a visible relaxation. These guys really enjoy playing together, and that spirit comes across clear as crystal." -   Russ Tarby and Pat Carroll, reviewing Djug Django's November 2010 performance in JazFax,  the monthly newsletter of the Jazz Appreciation Society of Syracuse

Sat. May 11 – Joel Mabus

Joel Mabus is a maverick in the folk music world.  He defies any easy pigeonhole.  By turns, he picks a mountain banjo to accompany an ancient ballad, sings a witty song about modern life, plays a sweet Irish melody on guitar, swings a hot jazz number, and then reaches deep for a soulful expression of values in a troubled world. He tops it all with a fiddle tune or old Carter family song - all skillfully blended into a seamless flow. One fan said, “It’s music from the heart that hits you right between the eyes.”  A mainstay on the folk circuit these past 30 years, Joel has 21 albums to his credit; the latest is American Anonymous.
