CD - Bill Evans/Bill Evans Plays Banjo - Release date 2001

Exciting original bluegrass instrumentals from this internationally acclaimed California banjo player, featuring some of the genre's most acclaimed musicians.

Bill Evans has created an instrumental masterpiece and the only problem is that the title "Bill Evans Plays Banjo," is only half the story.

Plenty of pickers play banjo, and play it well, but very few can compose with the range, depth, beauty and creativity of Evans.

Evans manages to compose and play music that is readily embraced by traditionalists, but also appeals to progressive newgrass-types, a rare ability.

CD - Megan Lynch - "Lovely Weather We're Having"

From Megan B. Lynch, a collection of beautiful waltzes, classic old-time fiddle tunes, and new interpretations of fiddle and mandolin duets. This album also features the expressive guitar and mandolin playing of California native (now making his home in Maryland) and State Flatpicking Champion John Relph.

"Megan's expressive playing flows in the stately waltz tunes and the listener can almost visualize dancers waltzing across ballroom floors. Megan also is able to put in a sprightly bounce in her renditions of fiddle tune classics such as "Soldier's Joy," "Fisher's Hornpipe," "Arkansas Traveler" and "Bill Cheatum." The 18 songs ebb and flow like a tide and the listener can be swept away and inspired by the glorious flow of notes."
-Bluegrass Breakdown magazine

This charming recording transports the listener back to an age of elegance and romance with songs by Noel Coward, Fritz Kreisler, Francis Lopez and Ivor Novello.

CD - Jody Redhage and Fire in the Sky: "Ancient Star"
