Join us June 27th for a magical musical evening with three incredible women.
Caroline Aiken:
​”​Named “The Best Acoustic Act”(Atlanta Magazine) in her birth town of Atlanta, GA, ​Caroline’s​ rich history includes recording and performing with Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls, opening for Arlo Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Doc Watson, Randy Newman, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, 38 Special, Beach Boys, Janis Ian, and Richie Havens. Caroline appears in regional and national festivals, radio shows, workshops and concert series.
Caroline’s “Sensual voice, masterful songwriting, expert guitar” (Victory Music-Seattle) anchored the city’s acoustic and folk scene, influencing up and coming artists whom she took under her wing, including Indigo Girls and Shawn Mullins.”
​​GA MUSIC HALL OF FAME ​
Caroline says, “I was moved at the age of 12, kicking and screaming, from the village of St. Simons Island, GA, to Long Island, NY, clutching a guitar and book of songs. Then: 1969 in NY, 1971 West Coast, 1973 South America, 1975 NW, 1984 to present USA,UK and EU. The ‘Perpetual Instructional Path Towards Gratitude’ Tour.”​
“Years of performing, beginning in 1969 in NY, California, South America, NW and Europe, Caroline Aiken was named “The Best Acoustic Act”(Atlanta Mag) in her birth town of Atlanta, GA. Her rich history includes recording and performing with Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls, opening for Arlo Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Doc Watson, Randy Newman, Little Feat, 38 Special, Beach Boys, Janis Ian, Richie Havens. Caroline appears in regional and national festivals, radio shows, workshops and concert series, supporting 9 nationally acclaimed recordings. Caroline’s “Sensual voice, masterful songwriting, expert guitar” (Victory Music-Seattle) anchored the city’s acoustic and folk scene, influencing up and coming artists whom she took under her wing, including Indigo Girls and Shawn Mullins.” GA MUSIC HALL OF FAME
“‘Singer/songwriter’ is an adequate description of Caroline Aiken, but it doesn’t tell you what you really need to know. It doesn’t even hint at the unseen work, thought, vision, organization and management she puts into every performance. It doesn’t tell you that if she brings along a band, it’s going to be an enthusiastic but disciplined unit that’s committed to the total musical experience. And it doesn’t tell you that Caroline is an Artist with a capital A, whose seemingly effortless songs form a direct link from one soul to another. During the years I hosted “It’s Friday!” it was my honor to present performances by Caroline at least ten times, and I never tired of basking in the glow of her work.” – Robb Holmes, UGA Radio show: IT’S FRIDAY

Christine Gunn:
Noted for her expressiveness and versatility, has performed widely as a solo artist creating richly layered musical tapestries with a looping pedal, but also as a founding member of acoustic trio, Trillian Green, and as an accompanist to hundreds of bands, orchestras, musical theaters, and singer-songwriters, both live and recorded.

Liz Melendez:
Considered by many to be one of the top lead guitarists in the country, her live performances demonstrate her versatility, often paying homage to her influences as a highlight to her own clearly defined lead guitar and vocal style.
Her guitar playing has been compared to everyone from Carlos Santana to Stevie Ray Vaughan and her voice has been compared to everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Janis Joplin.
Liz currently has 3 album releases to her credit, showcasing her talents as a songwriter, arranger, and producer. Born and raised in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Liz currently resides in Atlanta, and tours regularly with Georgia music icon Caroline Aiken.
