Raised in the deep South, Rand’s vocal stylings are all her own and her songwriting reflects a wide array of musical styles. She has performed with Bonnie Raitt, Mickey Hart, John Trudell, Dougie McClean, and The McGarrigles. See joannerandmusic.com.

Reggie Garrett from Seattle, is the purveyor of his own distinctive urban strain of acoustic music incorporating folk, Latin rhythms, blues, gospel, Celtic, rock, jazz and the result is a musical blend that has touched and moved audiences for many years.

Garrett has released five recordings and his strong rhythmic underpinnings move his singing voice through the traditions he grew up with. Garrett’s specialty is creating and enhancing a rhythmic, articulate mood. See reggiegarrett.com
