Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting. He was a
principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the
Boston folk scene, creating a movement that revitalized the national
acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk pop style that helped renew
interest in the genre in the 1990's.
His charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a
generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the
realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of
today's singer-songwriters - his songs regularly appear in hit movie and
TV soundtracks - he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound
and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more
successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.

- “New York songwriter Lucy Kaplansky is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city
folk.” ~ The Boston Globe - “The imagery and emotion of Lucy Kaplansky’s original lyrics combine with the power and
texture of her sumptuous voice to create an illuminating evening of songs that work their
way deep into the heart. Fusing alternative country, roots rock, and folk music with rare
style and intelligence — not to mention a truly charming stage presence — Lucy presents her
thoughtful songs about the human condition with warmth and power.” ~ Freight & Salvage
She started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took
off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—
Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others—where she fit right in.
With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone’s favorite singing partner, but most often
she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in
fact, The New York Times said it was “easy to predict stardom for her.”

- “Our attendance at Incendio’s concerts has grown each year as well as requests to have
them return, year after year . . . the dynamic, precise guitar work of Jim Stubblefield
and Jean-Pierre Durand is amazing and captivating to watch . . .” ~ MaryAnn Torrez,
Special Events Supervisor, Albuquerque BioPark, New Mexico - “ . . . Incendio achieves that rare balance of virtuosity and showmanship which has
enthralled audiences around the US (including ours for the past two years). They are
easily on of our most popular and most requested bands . . .” ~ CJ Whitcomb, Executive
Director, Levitt Pavilion Pasadena, CA - “The last time this band played, the audience went absolutely crazy . . . blazing guitar
inferno . . .” ~ Good Times Magazine, Santa Cruz - “A firestorm of exotic grooves” ~ Music Design
2010 marks this extraordinary instrumental group’s 10th anniversary. Their name, INCENDIO, means “fire” in Italian, Spanish, and Portugese; it
is a fitting moniker for the band’s sound that is all about energy, exploration, and passion. At the heart of Incendio’s sound is the nylon-string
Spanish guitar, which can conjure up romantic as well as powerful and bold images. – they refer to their style as “Latin Guitar World Fusion”.
Simply put, they leave audiences amazed with their phenomenal guitar skills and dazzling interplay.
Averaging over 150 national shows a year since their inception, INCENDIO’s live performance has become an explosive improvisatory journey,
garnering tremendous audience response in such diverse venues as the Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite, the Sundance Film Festival, Catalina
Jazztrax, California World Festival, and the Levitt Pavilions in Pasadena CA, Dallas TX, Memphis TN, and Westport CT to name just a few. Their
seven CD’s have enjoyed international radio airplay and critical acclaim. Their recent guitar trio CD, Vihuela, was released in March 2009 in
coordination with a new signature wine, “Incendio”, from Vihuela Winery in Paso Robles, CA (www.vihuelawinery.com). Incendio features Jim
Stubblefield (guitar), JP Durand (guitar), and Liza Carbe (guitar/bass).

| Berkley Hart - Mar 13 @ 7:30 |
But then Lucy temporarily left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology and open her own private practice, although she
continued to sing. Lucy was often pulled back into the studio by her friends (who now had contracts with record labels), wanting her to sing
on their albums. Now, after returning to recording and performing full-time, Kaplansky’s voice continues to remain in high demand by her
peers. She harmonized on Colvin’s Grammy-winning Steady On, on Nanci Griffith’s Lone Star State of Mind and Little Love Affairs, and
on four of John Gorka’s albums. She also landed soundtrack credits, singing with Suzanne Vega on Pretty in Pink and with Griffith on The
Firm, and several commercial credits as well—including “The Heartbeat of America” for Chevrolet.
The accolades and credits go on and on (appearances on the CBS Morning Show, NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions, Mountain Stage,
West Coast Live, and Acoustic Café are but a few), but hearing her in person beats reading about her – so stop reading and get your
tickets.

Sofia Talvik was born on an island just off the west coast of Sweden.
At eighteen she left behind the comforts of home for the bright lights
and lonely nights of Stockholm where every experience, good and bad,
would become one of her beautiful, funny and heartbreaking songs.
After releasing a low key but critically acclaimed EP, Sofia set to work
on her debut album Blue Moon which was released in 2005. As a
writer, artist and producer she oversaw every step of the process. She
quickly followed up her debut with Street Of Dreams in 2007 and
Jonestown in 2009.
Sofia has been compared to artists such as Joni Mitchell, Nico, Aimee
Mann, and Tori Amos, but her sound and style are still unique and
fresh. Her upcoming release, Florida, will introduce Sofia to a much
wider audience. Conceived and written while living and touring in
America, Florida embodies all the experiences and lessons learned by
a young singer songwriter within today’s every changing music world.
