Stan Graham: 4th release from this polished, multi-award-winning, English singer-songwriter accompanied on this release by an all star cast including Angus Lyons (Blazing Fiddles), Emily Smith (Scottish Folk Singer of the Year Award winner), Anna Massie (Kate Rusby Band), Wendy Weatherby, Stewart Hardy, Jamie McClennon (Emily Smith Band).

"Every now and again someone quite special comes up from the Club scene that stands out in both terms of repertoire, personality and performance. Stan Graham is one such person. He can be counted among that rare breed of songwriters with an innate ability to capture real emotion. His songs reflect life's immense variety, with memorable words and melodies. With four internationally successful and highly acclaimed albums of self penned songs to his name, he stands out from the usual run of songwriters." - Artist's website

The Young'Uns: "The Young’uns are a force of nature on stage. Their irrepressible humour, infectious love for harmony singing, passion for storytelling and commitment to maintaining the tradition of social commentary have quickly made them one of the most sought after acts on the English folk scene with the rare ability to make audiences laugh and cry in equal measure.In 2013 they gave up their jobs and took to the road to share their love of singing and laughter with whomever would listen.Since then they have performed alongside Billy Bragg at Glastonbury, opened the main stage at Cambridge Folk Festival, recorded a memorable live session on BBC Radio 2, held a host of intimate rural singing weekends, visited dozens of schools and appeared at over 40 festivals at home and abroad.A decade after first burping their way through a sea shanty as inebriated teenagers at Stockton Folk Club, The Young’uns (so called that night because they were the youngest people at the club by over 40 years) have developed their craft, absorbed the musical heritage of their native North East, sought inspiration from the hundreds of performers they have heard and are now preparing to take their music to a much wider audience than they ever imagined." - Artists' website

Siobhan Miller: "Siobhan Miller is one of the foremost singers in Scotland. Her range includes Scottish traditional, contemporary and self-penned material. In December 2011 she was voted ‘Scots Singer of the Year’ in the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, and again in 2013. She is also an experienced singing tutor and works for Live Music Now.  Most recently she has formed Salt House with Lauren MacColl, Ewan MacPherson and Euan Burton, and released their debut album, ‘Lay your Dark Low’. Her hotly anticipated solo album was released in 2014." - Artist's website

Les Poules A Colin: "Winners of the Young Tradition competition in Burlington, Vermont (2009) and Prix de la Culture Desjardins in Québec (2010), the five members of « the latest and youngest band out of the hot Québécois traditional music scene » (fRoots) are inspired by roots music passed down from their families and learned at music camps and in jams. Their performances are entrancing and sparkle with unpretentious, natural talent and respect for their repertoire – including beautifully arranged original and folk-trad songs and tunes (both French and English). As the offspring of veteran trad musicians, they have grown up with and learned their craft firsthand from some of Québec’s finest in a region famous for its traditions. They’ve already graced the stages at major venues in Canada and the US. Their first album was recorded with a grant from the Lanaudière Youth Fund and the Québec Arts Council (2011). A new recording is in the works in time for summer touring in 2014. A fresh, exciting and utterly disarming sound!" - Artists' website

Ray Wylie Hubbard: "WIMBERLEY, Texas — When it comes to down ’n’ dirty roots ’n’ roll, nobody in the wide world of Americana music today does it better than Ray Wylie Hubbard. Except, it seems, for Hubbard himself. After riding a decade-long career resurgence into the national spotlight with 2012’s acclaimed The Grifter’s Hymnal and his first ever appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman (“I didn’t want to peak too soon,” quips Hubbard, 68), the iconoclastic Texas songwriter is back to continue his hot streak with The Ruffian’s Misfortune — his 16th album (and third on his own Bordello Records, via Thirty Tigers) — due out April 7, 2015." Artist's website CD promo sheet

Sue Massek: "This one-woman play by Si Kahn about the life of Sarah Ogan Gunning features Sue as Sarah. Part memory play, part eulogy, part concert, this one-woman show written by legendary folk singer and community organizer Si Kahn traces the life of Sarah Ogan Gunning, an unsung hero of American folk/labor music history. The play finds Sarah alone in her Detroit basement apartment on the evening after her sister Aunt Molly Jackson’s funeral, as she attempts to set the record straight and say goodbye. Although Sarah Ogan Gunning is a name almost unknown to us today, her powerful songs about the coal mining region of Eastern Kentucky in the 1930s were an influence on such folkmusic and social justice icons as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. She served as mentor and role model for the generations that followed in her footsteps, including The Reel World String Band." - Artist's website

Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore: "She has been called one of roots music’s best interpreters and singers, and her voice described as “smooth,” “smoky,” “powerful,” and “bright and bold as sheet lightning.” Once you’ve heard it, you’re hooked. Mollie’s recordings are a tribute to the variety of her taste and the versatility of her performance. On her solo CDs — Every Night in the Week and I Never Move Too Soon (on Resounding Records) and Tell It True, Big Red Sun, and Things I Gave Away (on Sugar Hill) — she moves without hesitation from style to style, dipping into the songs of Lennon and McCartney, Percy Mayfield, Memphis Minnie, Chuck Berry, and the Subdudes. Showcasing her old-time, folk, blues, and gospel chops are three albums with Tim O’Brien (Take Me Back, Remember Me, and Away Out on the Mountain — all on the Sugar Hill label). There have been any number of collaborations, most notably the Grammy-winning True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe (Sugar Hill) with a stellar bunch of bluegrass greats. For the past few years, Mollie has worked with Garrison Keillor and Robin & Linda Williams as the Hopeful Gospel Quartet, with her own five-piece band, and as a duo with husband Rich Moore. Mollie has earned rave notices at major festivals and venues throughout the U.S. and in the United Kingdom, Europe, and South America." - Artist's website

"Rich Moore is well-known and well-loved in Colorado's acoustic music family and has lived and performed here for over 25 years. He made his reputation early on as bassist and guitarist with stellar local outfits like The Solid Senders, and in recent years has been the rhythmic bedrock for Pete Wernick's Live Five, Celeste Krenz, and with ensembles fronted by his wife, the internationally-esteemed vocalist Mollie O'Brien. He is guitarist of choice for folk legend Tom Paxton, who invariably requests Moore as a sideman for his Colorado shows." - Artist's website

The rightly celebrated husband and wife duo of Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore will be in concert with Little Rock Folk Club on Fri May 15th 2015 - info at www.littlerockfolkclub.org/
