Steve Poltz Interview - Steve Poltz is a former member of the band called the Rugburns. Sort of an underground group that made some waves a few years ago. He is a gorgeous singer/songwriter with an amazing talent & equally gorgeous voice!! He has recently finished touring with Jewel. He played acoustic guitar in her band & was also the support act on the Spirit World Tour 1999. To see Steve live is amazing. He is a very gifted performer with a natural ability to relate to any crowd. He was born on the 19th February 1961 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada & was raised as an alter boy. Steve often talks about this on stage & will say "That's where I learnt about wine!!"

Peppino D'Agostino & Clive Carroll Interview -
Clive Carroll (to the right) was recently described as 'probably the best and most original young acoustic guitar player and composer in Britain' (Acoustic Guitar Magazine). Peppino (to the left) has achieved a unique guitar and compositional style blending technical virtuosity, prowess and wizardry with the lyricism, fire and passion of his Mediterranean heritage. Not many guitarists are as eager to challenge the limits of their instruments--using unconventional tunings, tapping the notes on the freatboard only, using creative percussive effects, and inventing a mini orchestra of sounds that , on first listen, seems almost impossible for one lone guitar.

Jeff Black has long been recognized as an impactful songwriter, and in Nashville, a town where co-writing is the norm, Black writes alone. The words and music to his rough and tumble songs read like a delicate and personal journal from a well-traveled soul. His songs have been covered by artists from all different genres of music, from the legendary Waylon Jennings, to other artists such as the acoustic/bluegrass virtuoso Sam Bush and Canadian pop/country songstress Lisa Brokop to name a few.
