Suzannah Armstrong Park 
Suzannah and Georgia Rose Armstrong Park are two shining stars that when put together equal fascinating results. Walking on the footsteps of their talented parents, the soul sisters, those two young, fascinating and talented women, use their voices as powerful instruments to create some sort of magic spell  Here is a link to one of their early perfomance that was filmed when they were just teenagers in 1999. Across the Blue Mountain  is one of my favourite album.


Bill Burnett
Bill is a world class songwriter, an award-winning wordsmith and a storyteller. He writes funny songs, love songs, kids' songs, theme songs, ballads and jingles. Lately, he started a weekly show on-line with a new song/video every week.

Dillon Bustin

Dillon is a folklorist, singer/songwriter, filmmaker and playwright. After obtaining a degree in Folklore and Anthropology at Indiana University, he returned to his native Massachusetts with a wealth of great songs from the Ohio River area, including the oft-recorded “Shawneetown,” “Bayou Sara,” and “Cranberry Bogs.”  Dillon is also known for his theatrical musicals which include “Walden Pond Revisited,” “Come Life, Shaker Life: The Spiritual Quest of Isaacar Bates” and a number of productions based on characters from the history of Martha's Vineyard. The latter form a trilogy called “Tidebook: an Island Rhapsody” which is comprised of “Tallman at the Dock,” "The Captain's Daughters” and “The Journeys of Joshua Slocum.” Amongst other activities, Dillon is also a film director. Unfortunately his work is extremely hard to find. His latest CD is out of stock, his films are not available anywhere and his books are out of print .Good Luck.





Liza Constable

Liza sails and sings for a living. As a woman of many talents, she can do it all. She has mastered the fiddle, composes beautiful songs, is the mother of two beautiful souls, speaks French, cooks, writes and has an amazing sense of humor. You can sense all of this in her music and poetry.




Bob Lucas
Bob Lucas is a genius. It's hard to put him into a category, because I would then have to put him in every category related to music. There is no other word to describe this musician. Mr. Lucas is one of the undiscovered talents of this century. He is a beautiful poet and a fantastic musician that commands respect when you are lucky enough to cross his path, hear his fiddle tunes, his banjo rhythm or his guitar fantasies. If you are lucky, you might listen to him master these instruments with Chloe Manor, his fabulous daughter or Austin, his over talented son.  He plays original songs, old time music, and writes musical plays.
To listen without moderation. More on http://www.boblucasmusic.com/


Austin Lucas
The son of Bob Lucas is no exception. Here you have the same blood, the same talent. It is as simple as that. Austin is a guitar virtuoso, a talented musician and a fun guy! Both he and his father create sticky tunes, melodies that once heard, do not go away. These are songs that stay with you and that you find yourself humming in the street. This is the album that was recorded at Bob's house in Ohio. It is a masterpiece created by Austin Lucas, his father and Chuck Ragan.

Dean Stevens
Along with the other musicians of this list, Dean has a special place in the heart of everyone who has been fortunate enough to meet him. Not only is he a wonderful songwriter and a talented guitar player, but he is also a missionary of love. He spends part of his time in Guatemala helping the people or writing beautiful hymns to simple life stories that include salmon rivers and the old man in his garden.

Teresa Tudury
"Part chanteuse, part comedian, part bona fide pop artist…and a voice that could stop a war". Teresa Tudury is an absolute original. From her San Francisco roots to the Greek Islands to New York and LA, she wakes up the music scene. Teresa creates a loyal following and rave reviews wherever she performs. If you are lucky enough to go and see her perform, do not miss the opportunity.


Alan Thornhill
Alan’s album was nominated Album of the Year in 2008 and received the Mavric Music award. This is a well deserved prize for one of the most beautiful guitar players that one can have the pleasure of listening to. "Guitarpenter's dream" captures the warmth and melody of Alan's playing along with occasional crackle of the fireplace of his house in Ojai. When Alan plays and you close your eyes, some say that you can share his dreams.

Mr Bob Willougby
Not to be mistaken with the famous homonym photographer, Mr. Bob Willougby is his equivalent in the music world. Accomplished fiddler and piano player Frederic Park describes him as the only white guy that can sing and play like a black man. Here is a short, unprofessional little video of him so you can enjoy some of his talent as well. Mr. Willoughby can play anything from Jazz to soul to folklorist music. He plays guitar and piano and has a voice that is deep and unique.
