Laurence Juber
“A stunning sense of space and fluidity … a truly wondrous sound” - Guitar World
Laurence Juber is a solo performer, recording artist, composer and arranger. His playing fuses folk, jazz, blues, pop and classical styles, creating a multi-faceted performance that belies the use of only one instrument. First internationally recognized as lead guitarist in Paul McCartney's Wings, with whom he won a Grammy®, Juber has since established himself as a world-renowned guitar virtuoso and entertainer.
Wendy Waldman
A critically-acclaimed recording artist and multi-platinum songwriter, Wendy Waldman has a diverse career that spans across genres ranging from pop, R&B, and country to film, jazz, and children's music. Waldman, one of the first distinguished female record producers, is the daughter of composer and film music scholar Fred Steiner (Perry Mason, Star Trek, The Twilight Zone) and has co-written numerous hit songs, including "Save the Best for Last" and "The Sweetest Days" (Vanessa Williams); "Fishin in the Dark" (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Garth Brooks); "I Owe You One" (Aaron Neville); the Wrangler Award-winning cowboy Christmas song, "Corn, Water, and Wood" (Michael Martin Murphy); and "I Want a Horse" (released as a duet between Waldman and Linda Ronstadt). Wendy Waldman's first solo album, Love Has Got Me, was released by Warner Bros. Records in 1973 and proclaimed by Rolling Stone to be the "singer-songwriter debut of the year."
James Lee Stanley
“This man is a great artist – his songs are finely-crafted and richly textured, with immediately memorable melodies and thought provoking lyrics, and his guitar playing is simply gorgeous, alternating between subtle finger picking. Lush chording, stark simplicity, rhythmically-charged complexity, and many and varied shades in between.” -FI-The Magazine of Music and Sound
And a surprise guest to be announced!
