Chuck Pyle has won high praise from both fans and peers alike throughout an inspired performance career of over
40 years. When reviewers first gave him the "Zen Cowboy" moniker, he decided to, as he says, "Always ride the
horse in the direction it's going," and took the nickname to heart, shaving his head and blending his upbeat
perspective with old-fashioned horse sense. He mixes infectiously hummable melodies with
straight-from-the-saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys.
An accomplished songwriter, Chuck's songs have been recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and
Suzy Bogguss. Country fans know him best for writing, "Cadillac Cowboy", recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and
"Jaded Lover", recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.

- "Chuck Pyle's songs, playing and singing are transporting. If you're looking for top-flight alt-country-inflected
contemporary folk... this is it." ~ Sing Out! - "Vivid landscapes flow from Pyle's pen with grown up themes of the New West . . .[his] big campfire-smoked
voice and solid guitar work anchor the song... it's really quite impressive how full the orchestration sounds with
only Pyle's voice and guitar." ~ Eugene Weekly, Eugene OR

In a career that spans five decades, 22 albums and three Grammy awards, multi-talented
singer-songwriter-guitarist, Tom Chapin, has covered an incredible amount of creative ground. In addition to his
work as a recording artist and concert performer, Chapin has acted on Broadway, as well as working extensively in
television, radio and films.
As a music-maker, Chapin has maintained two long and productive parallel careers, both as a highly respected
contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children's music. In the former role, Chapin has
established a reputation for insightful, heartfelt songcraft and effortlessly charismatic live performances. In the
later, he continues to engage the hearts, minds and imagination of young listeners with witty, life-affirming
original songs delivered in a sophisticated array of musical styles. In either format, Chapin's infectious songs,
sterling musicianship and personal warmth consistantly shine through, whether he's performing on record or in a
concert hall, an outdoor festival, a school, in front of a symphony orchestra or in an intimate coffeehouse.

Gretchen Peters' songwriting has brought her to the Grammys twice and won her a CMA Song Of The Year
award for the groundbreaking "Independence Day" (Martina McBride). This May she was nominated for
induction in 2011 into the Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame (previous Hall of Fame inductees include Bob
Dylan, Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton and Jimmy Webb). But that's only half
the story. As a recording artist she has won near-universal acclaim from media such as Time Magazine
("her choir-girl voice has a seductive hint of late nights and cigarettes"), AllMusic.com ("her finest moment
as a recording artist and a song-lyric poet" - Burnt Toast & Offerings, 2007) and Mojo (The Secret Of Life,
Best Albums of 1996). One To The Heart, One To The Head (2009), her collaboration with singer-songwriter
Tom Russell appeared on numerous year-end Best Of lists, including PopMatters ("one of the best folk
records in recent memory") and No Depression.
Partial list of Gretchen Peters' songwriting credits:
"Independence Day" - Martina McBride
"The Secret Of Life" - Faith Hill
"The Chill Of An Early Fall" - George Strait
"Love's Been Rough On Me" - Etta James
"On A Bus To St. Cloud" - Trisha Yearwood, Jimmy LaFave

"Time and again, I’m asked to sing my Love Songs. It being the Season of Love, what better
time to trot out the ol’ love songs, offer up the new ones, and pull a few from the American
Songbook.
So, let’s get together in February to honor the loves of our lives, and the music that moves
us, heals us, speaks to our relationships and our losses." ~ Cris Williamson
With 30-some recordings to her credit, Cris Williamson is best know for her classic album,
The Changer And The Changed. Released in 1975 on Olivia Records, this music became the
soundtrack of a movement, and was key in the launch of what would become known as
“women’s music,” music which was created, performed, and marketed specifically by and for
women. Today, this record remains a favorite of so many people, and one of the best-selling
independent releases of all time.
