Here’s some tantalizing info on tonight’s lineup…
+
Karen Nash:
Dylan Brody says, “She is equal parts country and rock 'n roll, and she can drop you to your knees with a ballad then blow you away with a rock song. She reminds me of Linda Ronstadt when she blew open the charts in the ’70's. Karen's love and joy in her music is infectious.” She’s played Lilith Fair, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival, and more. But not for quite a while. She’s been in hiding. Now she has a whoooole buncha new songs for a the CD she'll release in a few months. And perhaps she’ll share some of her amusing tales of her favorite former neighbor, Warren Zevon. She’s also married to Bob Malone, songwriter and keyboard maestro for John Fogerty. David Harvey adds, "...did Karen say that Bob Malone, Alan Seymour, and Renee Safier are playing behind her solo-ness?"  More at www.karennash.com
+
Marty Axelrod:
Producer Dylan Brody asks, “Do you love a master keyboardist who can craft amazing songs in Americana and Country, with rock and pop hooks, that leave melodies and phrases lingering in your memory?” Marty Axelrod is a member of the popular singer-songwriter collective Tall Men Group, and producer / co-writer (with Nicole Gordon) of the acclaimed “Songs of Shiloh,” an album and duo that debuted on radio’s “Tied to the Tracks” a few years back. Marty’s songs have played on TV soundtracks including “True Blood” and “Friday Night Lights.” Marty’s work is represented on the just-released Tall Men Group CD, and on his solo EP, cleverly titled “Solo EP”.
+
The Sweet Potatoes:
Combining Americana with Western Swing, The Sweet Potatoes bring fresh harmonies and melodies that touch on Emmy Lou Harris, Patti Griffin, and the Dixie Chicks. Laura Hall (“Whose Line is it Anyway”) and Kelly Macleod (“Private Life”) touch on childhood, family, and finding love. More at www.thesweetpotatoes.com
+
Barrett Taglirio:
Known in L.A. for contributing incendiary lead guitar for a long list of local acts including John Zipperer & Friends, Severin Browne, and Eric Schwartz, now Barrett Tagliarino steps up to the mic with his own mix of hilarious storytelling songs, heartbreaking ballads, and signature instrumentals. Barrett has recorded commercials for ARCO, Sony, Miller Lite, the Food Channel and MTV and appeared on Los Angeles stages from the Whisky to the Viper Room. He's also published six guitar instruction books, numerous magazine articles and instructional videos, and has been a full-time instructor at Musicians Institute since 1989.

Plus, spoken word…
+
"A Word" With Dylan Brody:
Dylan Brody is an award winning playwright, a thrice published author, a humorist and a story-teller. He's a writer for the Huffington Post and a new contributor to “OffRamp” on KPCC. He is also a martial artist, but those skills will not come into play during the show. Unless something goes horribly wrong. Moe at http://dylanbrody.com

+
Beth F. Wood conducts this showcase with many different musical talents. Some have a great deal of professional experience and some are working up to that. Beth plays a 45 minute set first, (because she can) and then there are three other acts, each doing half-hour sets. Beth adds, "Whatever happens after that is anybody's guess."
+
After her series that ran 8 1/2 years at the Marine Room, this is a new venue and “good listening situation,” as Beth reports, "We have been promised that we CAN look crosseyed at people who distract from the music”. She adds that there is “great food (as well as Beth's cookies) and lots and lots of parking. Beautiful setting. Come help us establish the new paradigm. Ooh."
