586) 2/13/14 6:45 Brooks Williams - Ranked one of the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, this singer-songwriter writes groove-laden songs and delivers them with an easy-going vocal style and monstrous guitar chops. Walking the line between blues and Americana, Williams has worked stages worldwide for over 25 years, amassing a staggering back-catalogue of songs, recordings and tales. With nearly 20 CDs to his name – and more on the way – this Statesboro Georgia native is, according to americanaUK, “impossible not to like." www.brookswilliams.com

587) 2/13/14 8:00 Spuyten Duyvil - (pronounced: "Spite + n Dive + l") Hailing from the Hudson Valley, soaring vocals, traditional jug band energy, slide guitar, incendiary fiddle and Chicago-style blues harp propel the listener on a barn-burning romp through the last 100 years of American Roots music. www.spuytenduyvilmusic.com/

588) 3/3/14 Amanda Duncan - draws from a diverse blend of the crooning hits of the 30′s and 40′s and the pop-country of today, to craft what has become her light-hearted, head-bopping acoustic sound. 180 degrees from the winey, suicidal droning of many singer-songwriters, in a black and white world, Amanda Duncan is a burst of color; http://amandaduncan.com

589) 3/3/14 Elm Treason - Complex, manic, foreboding and smooth are just a small sample of the adjectives that one could muster to describe the sound resonating from this Staten Island, New York duo. They’ve been together since the Fall of 2010, originally intending to be an acoustic rock duo. However, in a relatively short period of time, they evolved from a team of mad musical basement noisemakers into a full-grown “lets-do-it-all-ourselves” musical dynamo. www.elmtreason.com
