The Harley String Band -- three talented singer-songwriters who mine the deep veins of American music and bring back the occasional rough diamond.
Dueto Dulcimelos -- this husband and wife duo from Quer�taro, Mexico, play Mexican music as you've never heard it before--on saltero (the Mexican hammered dulcimer) and piano.
The Capitol Hillbillies conclude with primitive New Orleans-style jazz, hot blues, and early country and jug band tunes.
