Sierra Hull

A good chunk of popular music’s real estate has been carved up along lines of age these last half-dozen decades, and we’re used to seeing young musicians aim exclusively for young audiences then flounder as they outgrow teenaged listeners’ tastes and concerns.

Joel Rafael

Joel Rafael plays alot in the key of F which stands for Folk music. He is a big proponet of Woody Guthries work. I saw him at the Millpond Festival in Bishop, Ca. He took the stage with about fifteen children and sang "this land is your land" Truly a great Millpond moment. He works solo and also has a band but still performs acoustically. Good to see and hear him on Last FM.

Chicken Shed Zeppelin

Starting as a single banjo player and blossoming into a full on five piece bluecrass band, ..... Beginning in Brighton 2003 with Matt playing banjo and singing songs at open mike nights, only to be named "Chicken Shed Zeppelin" by his mad friend after an audience member noted a similarity to Led Zeppelin in the noodling banjo between songs. After a time hooking up with old time fiddler Ade and playing duos, soon turning to a trio with the addition of a virtuoso Dave on git-tar the sound was almost complete.

There are two groups known as The Dream Syndicate: 1. The Dream Syndicate was a guitar-driven band from L.A. from 1981 to 1989, originally associated with the music movement. While attending the University of California, Davis, Wynn and Smith played together (with future True West members Russ Tolman and Gavin Blair) in The Suspects.
