The Owl Service: "is an English alternative folk band formed in 2006 by multi-instrumentalist Steven Collins, named after the 1967 novel by Alan Garner. The Owl Service was originally intended to be a studio-based solo vehicle for Steven Collins, but while working on the first Owl Service release (the Wake the Vaulted Echo EP from 2006) he felt the need to enlist some help with vocal duties and this resulted in collaborations with Rebsie Fairholm (who sang on the debut EP, but then made only one more fleeting appearance with the band on the Bitter Night EP in 2008) and Dom Cooper of The Straw Bear Band, who remained involved with The Owl Service until March 2012; singing, writing songs and co-ordinating the band's graphic design. The Wake EP was warmly received in psych-folk circles and this lead to Collins being asked to contribute a track to the 2007 compilation album John Barleycorn Reborn on the Cold Spring label (for which he also wrote sleeve notes). For the JBR album, Steven recorded the traditional song The North Country Maid with session singer Rachel Davies, a song the band would revisit on the debut album in an alternative version. While recording the debut Owl Service album later that year, two permanent female singers joined the band; Jo Lepine and Diana Collier. Free from the constraints of running a label, in January 2015 Collins confirmed that there would be an all-new Owl Service album released in 2015 entitled His Pride. No Spear. No Friend.. The album is expected to be something of departure from previous Owl Service releases. According to Collins; "The album will contain mostly traditional material, but the sound will be far from traditional. It'll be a folk album in lyrical content only, not in sound"." - www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Owl_Service_%28band%29

Crooked Weather: "Based in East Yorkshire, England, Crooked Weather play earthy, unruly and original  folk songs. The sound is led by carefully crafted lyrics delivered by the haunting harmonies of  Holly and Will. These songs echo the ethos of folk songsmiths before them with imagery of escape, adventure, companionship and inner searching but told from a different heart. “Crooked Weather come from the same fertile ground which gave the world David Crosby’s immortal If I Could Only Remember My Name. They are indie meets World music meets traditional British folk. Think a contemporary Incredible String Band with a 21st century mindset.” - Sid Griffin (The Coal Porters/Bob Dylan Biographer)" - artists' website

Chantal Acda: "Like a combination of This Is The Kit playing Laughing Stock period Talk Talk (Chantal is a self-confessed Mark Hollis devotee), The Sparkle In Our Flaws exists somewhere between waking and sleeping. Soporific, yet completely awake, the compositions are slow to reveal themselves and the arrangements are simple and sparse, allowing room for Chantal’s haunting voice to breathe. Alongside the heartfelt, melancholy vocal the album features a subtle yet intricate mix of strings, synths, drums and shifting backing harmonies, creating a constantly morphing and coherent spectrum of sound. A sound that includes moments that recall composers such as Nils Frahm and Philip Glass set against the songwriting framework of greats such as Joni Mitchell. The Sparkle In Our Flaws was written in-between the touring of Chantal’s previous solo album Let Your Hands Be My Guide (2013) and features star musical collaborators such as multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick (known for his solo work on labels such as Bella Union and Erased Tapes and from his work with Efterklang), Shahzad Ismaily (a regular collaborator of Lou Reed, Tom Waits and Bonnie Prince Billy) and acclaimed Icelandic producer/musician Valgeir Sigurdsson. Inspiration for the album title came from the magical setting where the recordings took place – The Sparkle Studio in Pacific City (Oregon) and also from the vulnerability that is exposed within these recordings: played and captured in the moment, it celebrates the beauty of perfect imperfection. As one half of Sleepingdog, Chantal has already produced three widely acclaimed albums, the most recent of which being With Our Heads in the Clouds and Our Hearts in the Fields (2010) for which she collaborated with Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid, A Winged Victory For The Sullen). She has previously toured in the UK with Lambchop, Low and Calexico." - artist's website

Jim Malcolm: making a very welcome return to Little Rock Folk Club Nov 7th after a several year hiatus; velvet-voiced, mercury-flowing guitarist, and sterling mouth-organist with a catalogue of sparkling self-penned compositions and traditional Scottish songs Jim Malcolm "is the ultimate Scots troubadour. Traveling the world with his guitar, harmonicas, and engaging wit, he sings the traditional songs of Scotland and his own masterfully crafted songs in a style which is modern and accessible, yet utterly authentic. He is highly regarded as an interpreter of the songs of Robert Burns, and has been described as “one of the finest singers in Scotland in any style.” Though he now works solo, Jim was lead singer with the world-renowned and multi-award-winning Old Blind Dogs for eight years, a fantastic experience with some of Scotland’s finest musicians, taking him to the most prestigious festivals in North America and around Europe."- artist's website

Lowell Levinger: "An exciting new look at the Youngblood’s most popular songs, rearranged and recorded with new life by Lowell Levinger with guests such as Jesse Colin Young, David Grisman, Ry Cooder and a host of others. Levinger, one of the original founding members of the band along with Young has infused this release with the same eclectic, fun-loving energy that the Youngbloods put into their shows. This Collector’s Edition is guaranteed to inspire a new generation and some old fans to embrace the magic created in those Youngblood years." - artist's website
