Eric Bibb is becoming a familiar face, and voice, in the US acoustic folk-blues scene. Calm and collected, he approaches his craft in similar style to that of Keb’ Mo’. Notes Taj Mahal, "Eric is one of the new, young singers who has appeared on the scene that, much to my delight, has a great voice, is an excellent performer and has a great knowledge about the roots of this music"
The world lost the legendary Buddy Holly far too early, but his music lives again in “Rave On! The Buddy Holly Story.” Billy McGuigan, who portrays Holly in this electrifying show, has received national acclaim for his performances. Audiences are awed by his realism, sincerity and talent. For those who still believe in rock ‘n’ roll, this is a step back in time to poodle skirts, carhops, the Twist and more.

The Native American Center is pleased to present “Pueblo Cultural Extravaganza” - a night of Pueblo dance, music and culture as part of the 2010 Native American Speaker Series. The Zuni Olla Maidens, a world renowned dance group from the Pueblo of Zuni, and Moiety, a contemporary Native American music group from the Pueblo of Jemez, will perform on stage at the Fort Lewis Community Concert Hall on Thursday, February 25, 2010. This the first Durango appearance for both entertaining groups.
The program will highlight traditional and contemporary Pueblo dance and music. The Zuni Olla Maidens are a dance ensemble who travels throughout the U.S. and Canada promoting the beauty and culture of the women of Zuni. They have been showcased at the 1995 Festival of American Folk Life, The Museum of Women in the Arts, The Banff Centre for the Arts in Canada, and The Ganandogan Native American Music Festival in Rochester, New York. They have appeared in numerous magazines, and in Singing Their Songs, a documentary of Native women vocal artists; along with being popular calendar and postcard subjects. And, have captivated audiences for years at the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, New Mexico.
Moiety is an intertribal contemporary band originating from the Pueblo of Jemez and are 2009 Native American Music Award nominees. Their recent CD, Walking the Life Road received NAMMY nods in two categories, Best Rock Album, and Best New Group or Duo. Moiety means “two kinship groups who come together to make one society” which reflects their unique blend of traditional values and contemporary compositions that speaks to all humanity. This show also pays homage to Jimmy Shendo, founder, leader, and main songwriter/composer of Moiety who was recently killed in a tragic car accident returning home to Jemez Pueblo from Durango. To add a special touch, Bala Sinem, Fort Lewis College’s Native American student choir will be part of the performance.

It’s rare when a blues-based artist shows up with both tradition and true originality, but roots R&B singer/songwriter/pianist Kelley Hunt is just such an artist. A woman who muscled her way onto the scene on her own terms, Hunt performs with the passion of Aretha and the intensity of Bonnie Raitt, combining vocal sensuality and sexuality in equal proportions.

Possessing one of the most recognizable voices in popular music, Richie Havens’ poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s. He is perhaps best known for his intense rhythmic guitar style as well as for his opening performance at the original Woodstock. Havens uses his music to convey messages of brotherhood and personal freedom, once having told The Denver Post, “I really sing songs that move me. I’m not in show business, I’m in the communications business.”

While critics have often declared the Infamous Stringdusters as newgrass torchbearers, the band is actually a broad melting pot of American music. Backgrounds range from training in classical and jazz to hard rock to stints backing country legends and high lonesome heroes. Based in Nashville, Tenn., the band consists of six unique, professional players who are steeped in the tradition of bluegrass vocal harmony as well as the progressive edge of instrumental music.
The Vienna Boys' Choir is one of the oldest boys' choirs existing in the world. A founding document of Maximilian I in 1498 called the first dozen boys to the imperial court as members of the newly formed court music band. Since then, the choir has been regarded as Austria's "singing ambassadors." Today some 100 choristers between the ages of ten and 14 are divided into four touring choirs that give more than 300 concerts and performances each year, always to generous rave reviews.

Grammy Award-winning vocalist Steve Tyrell is known in the industry as a Renaissance man – artist, producer, songwriter and performer. Long behind the scenes, Tyrell, with his breakthrough performances in “Father of the Bride” and “Father of the Bride II” with Steve Martin, reinvented and re-popularized classic pop standards for a modern audience. Most recently he brought to the world “Back to Bacharach,” a deeply personal collection of songs from the piano of Burt Bacharach and the pen of Hal David.
LYNX and Jamie Janover create a diversified harmonic blend of all original hip-hop and down-tempo electronica grooves combined with folk style song writing, guitar, beat boxing, rhyming, amplified mini-kit percussion and the sounds of the hammered dulcimer. Together they have achieved a balance between the acoustic and the electronic. The pair is joined by the hypnotic Youssoupha Sidibe who fuses traditional West African sounds on the Kora (an indigenous harp) with the Sufi devotional chanting of the Senegalese Baa Faa community.
