ZOE MUTH
& THE LOST HIGH ROLLERS
She's been called Seattle's Emmylou, and when you hear her sing it may be hard to believe she was born and raised in the Great Northwest. The combination of her inventive songwriting, true-blue twang, and rock solid country band, the Lost High Rollers, has led critics to call her one of the best up and coming interpreters of classic country music.

GIRSA
with McDERMOTT'S HANDY
Girsa means young girl in Gaelic. This group's precocity and passion combine impressively on their self-titled debut recording, which sold out its first run of a thousand copies in less than two months. "This music is simply exquisite...these young ladies have a refreshing sound that shows a deep, abiding respect for the tradition."
- Brian Conway, renowned Irish fiddler
