About the performers…
+ .
GRAMMY Nominee LISA HALEY and her trademark blue fiddle were nominated for “Cajun/ Zydeco Album of the Year," and in her live performance, Lisa is "Joyful, exotic... a la the bluesy moans of Janis Joplin..." says the Los Angeles Times. Lisa Haley & the Zydekats are acclaimed as “The most joyful Americana / Cajun / Zydeco act on tour today!” She is fiddler, dancer, vocalist, and songwriter, serving-up heart-moving Louisiana bayou rhythms, traditional stylings and original songs speaking to all ages.
+ .
KEN O’MALLEY & THE NEER DUWELS – KEN, PAT D’ARCY, & BRYAN DOBBS. Ken O’Malley is a musician, singer, writer and producer. The Irish News has called him "the single most enduring, influential and proficient of all Irish musicians in Southern California". Well-known throughout the western United States and Ireland, he's been a member and leader of many musical groups in Los Angeles including Blended Spirits, The Mulligans and The Twilight Lords. He also enjoys a successful career as a solo artist in the bardic tradition of Irish storyteller and musician.
+ .
NEVENKA is the premier Los Angeles-based women's folk chorus that performs songs from Eastern Europe with spellbinding harmonies.
+ .
KB SOLOMON brings “the warm, treacle sounds of Lou Rawls or Barry White stirred into a dark, mouthwatering gateau. Mix in an authentic helping of blues and soul, spiced with a zest of operatic pedigree - and the recipe comes alive.”
+ .
