August 2 - Chip Taylor - The New York Times said it best: "If you only know him as the as the guy who wrote "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning" you don't know him! Chip Taylor is making some of the most distinctive acoustic music around today." He celebrates his new album 'Block Out the Sirens of This Lonely World', which the New Yorker compared to John Prine and Kris Kristofferson.

August 18th - The California Honeydrops - The LA Times said, "Though from Oakland, their Southern-fried jazz is so authentic that [audiences] may wonder whether they've been transported to the Big Easy." Living Blues called them "the most refreshing act to roll down the blues highway in some time. Few groups before them have melded so many strains of African American music into such a seamless whole."
