Rick Walters and Friends

w/ Sara Pace

9pm $5

"Pace is pure Americana. She has a perfect voice for country, quite a bit like Loretta Lynn but less twangy and much more refined, a la Emmylou Harris. She's got the right voice for folk too, plaintive and musing, like Joan Baez." - Samuel L. Wereb, www.rockzillaworld.com Texas and Americana Music Reviews

Sat. May 22

9pm $5

"Equal parts contemplation, confession and celebration, the easy-going pop delivery of Joe Rathbone achieves a personal connection without being overly sentimental." - Creative Loafing, Atlanta, GA

"Think John Wesley Harding meets Joe Jackson."
- Boston Globe

Barb lays her insightful, witty lyrics into a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, gentle rock, and country blues, delivering it all with a clear, compelling voice. Her fingerstyle guitar is sweet, complimenting the compassionate underpinnings of her songs.

"At the heart of the music, Peters reveals a folk aesthetic that heart is then encased in a fascinating body of electronics and effects that push and pull at the boundaries of the musical foundation, hinting at the underlying malleability that has allowed folk." Ron Davies - Splendid.com, June 2003
