BOB LIND 

Since his 1966 mega-hit “Elusive Butterfly” helped revolutionize American music, Bob’s artistry has continued to improve and evolve. Today, 50-plus years into his impressive career, his songs have been covered by more than 200 quality artists. He’s writing and singing better than ever. And he’s playing his fantastic music all over the United States and Europe.

“Come and see why this engaging poet / guitarist / philosopher / singer / wise-ass has endured in the sometimes-cruel and always-fickle music business for [five decades]. But be prepared to feel emotions you may not have let yourself feel in a while – feelings that may scare you a little. His songs hit the heart like a wrecking ball!”

Robert’s 2004 CD “What Are We Fighting For?” was released on Fountainbleu Records. The 4 song CD was a mix of original gospel, blues, folk and rock tunes that examined democracy, nationalism, freedom, security, corporate greed, and war. The politically charged lyrics were a bit of a departure for Ross who is primarily known for blues.

ROBERT ROSS

Robert’s 2004 CD “What Are We Fighting For?” was released on Fountainbleu Records. The 4 song CD was a mix of original gospel, blues, folk and rock tunes that examined democracy, nationalism, freedom, security, corporate greed, and war. The politically charged lyrics were a bit of a departure for Ross who is primarily known for blues.

In March of 2002, Fountainbleu Records released “Sleight of Hand” which showcased the best material from two previous Ross recordings. The CD was re-mastered by Dennis Ferrante (Elvis, Aerosmith, John Lennon). Guitar World called “Sleight of Hand an excellent new CD.” Blues societies and radio stations in dozens of cities around the country loved it too.

DARREN BRUCK

Darren did his fellowship in Funk during the 90’s in the bars and clubs of NYC and Atlanta, including The Wetlands, Mercury Lounge and Chameleon Club.  Inspired by Dr Funkenstein and reared in the house of  Rhythm-n-Blues, he brings a style that he refers to as Boogie Blues.”  A pinch of “boogie blues”, a cup full of the funkness that is the rhythm section and a big helping of the signature M-tone’s horns . . . that’s the recipe for the Mysterytones explosive sound. 

Michelle John

Michelle John is an eclectic performer who started off singing in her youth gospel choir to later perform on stages all across the world, including on The Voice UK, the White House, and Buckingham Palace. She has toured with names such as Eric Clapton, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Mary J Blige, Tom Jones, and Andrea Bocelli. This will be her Luna Star debut.

Bold + gold harmonies straight from Nashville. Winner of the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Contest and seen on NPR’s ‘Mountain Stage with Kathy Mattea’ and the KC Chiefs National Anthem, Goldpine’s brand of “aggressive Americana” is a flawless channel for their bold and reminiscent compositions. Husband and wife of 16 years, Goldpine has just released their third album, appropriately titled Three, which collects stories of sorrow, tested-love and space-trips. Mastered by Dave McNair (Shovels & Rope, Lauren Daigle), the album was captured from a mash of actual live performances on the road in 2024, showcasing the duo’s live energy as you would experience it straight from the stage.  “…sharing a sound that’s cast in honesty, emotion and homespun sentiment…the songs say it all, providing clear indication that Goldpine has established a precious standard.” -Lee Zimmerman (Goldmine Magazine)

Timothy LaRoque is a young singer-songwriter from Hollywood, Florida (born and raised). Being raised on the classics (The Beatles, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens are some of his favorites) yet growing up in an evolving world with a wide range of taste, he’s come up in the South Florida scene as a leader, specifically in his groups The Summit and (more recently) The Def Cats. Having played all over Florida and surrounding states, he always brings an undeniable, spiritual energy to his live performances.

 

Hank Woji

A self-described “Jersey Shore Ex-Pat turned West Texas Desert Rat,” Hank Woji cut his musical teeth as a bassist in the super charged Asbury Park, NJ music scene of the 1980s & 90s, playing in some of the Garden State’s most dynamic and innovative bands, but it was his chance move, in 2009, to the far West Texas desert town of Terlingua, that has most reshaped his life and his music.

Critics have described Hank’s music as “acoustic-wielding, sharply observed, Americana all the way” and being “in the best tradition of the Texas troubadours like Guy Clarke, Townes Van Zandt and Butch Hancock” and that “His troubadour style also comes very close to the style of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger, or as we heard on ‘Nebraska’ from Bruce Springsteen.”

Of his recently released 6^th CD, Tony Award winning songwriter, Anaïs Mitchell says: “Highways, Gamblers, Devils and Dreams is a sprawling meditation on mythic American themes.” And John Apice of Americana Highways states: “It’s a mosaic of music and lyrics that have become in Hank’s hands a short story about what America should be.”

Over his 20+ year songwriter career, Hank has performed with such notable artists as: Jonathan Byrd, Jaimee Harris, Bob Livingston, Grant Peeples, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Pete Seeger.

Gaêlica, a three-person Celtic, folk, and world music band has a 20-year history. First formed in Venezuela, the band performs Celtic music with Venezuelan and Latin influences. (Or Latin music with Celtic and folk influences.) Now based in Miami, Gaêlica’s members are Daniela Padrón on fiddle and vocals; Gabriel Figueira on bagpipes, woodwinds, percussion, and vocals; and Rubén Gutiérrez on guitar, percussion, and vocals.

Gaêlica has released five studio albums and has been nominated for a Latin Grammy in the Best Folk Album category. The group has performed in the United States, Latin America, and Europe. They perform original music and successfully re-imagine traditional tunes to blend Celtic and Latin folk into a surprising new sound.

Scott and Eric King, AKA The Brothers King, grew up on the mean streets of North Miami, the shadow of I-95 and the Golden Glades Interchange looming nearby. As youngsters, when not fighting relentlessly, they found common ground listening to the smooth, calming sounds of Megadeth, Metallica, and a whole array of hair-metal bands. It wasn’t until the mid-90s, when they started to realize there was something to all those folk records their dad owned. After playing together in numerous alternative bands that didn’t quite pan out, they decided that they would begin performing as a duo. At a Brothers King show, you’ll be regaled with songs about lizard mating rituals, incineration, demon storytellers, grandmothers with secret tattoos, occasional serious stuff, bellyflops, and much more. They blend their decades of eclectic musical tastes to create songs that often genre-hop, but are always rooted in their love of telling stories. 

Joel Zoss has enjoyed a worldwide reputation as a songwriter and guitarist since Bonnie Raitt recorded his “Too Long at the Fair” and “I Gave My Love a Candle.” Featuring his own million-selling compositions and folk and blues classics by American masters such as Elizabeth Cotten, Lead Belly, and Big Bill Broonzy, Zoss’s unique fingerpicking style and moving vocals have entertained audiences from blues clubs and concert halls to the Philadelphia Folk Festival. From 2007-2009 he opened shows for B.B. King and Etta James in theaters across the country. He has performed and recorded with many highly regarded artists including  David Bromberg, Taj Mahal, James Taylor, Paul Butterfield, and Howlin’ Wolf.
