"Whether Rick (Robbins) is singing about a road he wants to take or one he's taken too many times, or for that matter a road he knows he can never take but dreams of it still, he always takes his sweet time! He may have gleaned this practice from his good friend and travel'n buddy Ramblin' Jack Elliott. The pictures he himself sees when songwriting are superbly conveyed through Bold - Confident - Brush - Stroke lyrics. Sometimes using few sentences and at times few words, he captures something that lets you feel the breeze and hear the wind up in the trees, or see how the road curves up ahead and you might even smell some fabulous perfume he's tellin' you about cause he can say it so profoundly. His low singing style voice tells tales in a compelling fashion and his delivery and tone let you know he knows what he's singing about." - Rick Tivens
I saw Rick Robbins open for Ramblin' Jack Elliot last year and all I can say is this is going to be a great show.

"I guess what I want people to know is that, for me, it's about the songs, each different, each a well-thought-out message, each a labor of love," says Bernice Lewis. It has been said that she elevates the experiences of everyday life to an art form. She sings from a woman's perspective with wit and eloquence in distinctive, powerful vocals... With attention equally divided among matters of the earth, matters of the soul and matters of the heart, Lewis has staked out as her territory the sum of contemporary existence, and by giving so generously of herself she helps illuminate the lives of others.

Bobby Sweet has written songs that have aired on several hit television series, such as Touched By An Angel, Walker Texas Ranger, Soul Food, and Judging Amy, among others. He also co-wrote a song that was featured in the Danny Devito/Bette Midler movie Drowning Mona. As a performer he has shared the bill with some of the top country and folk artists, including Vince Gill, Bill Morrissey, Deana Carter, Bill Staines, Bryan White, Arlo Guthrie, and Jess Klein. As a sought-after lead guitarist he has played shows with George Jones, Asleep at the Wheel, Willie Nelson, The Bellamy Brothers, Waylon Jennings, and many others. Sweet has also been featured as a multi-instrumentalist on albums by recording artists Arlo Guthrie, Bernice Lewis, Adam Michael Rothberg, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Johnny Irion, and a host of other projects.
"For the better part of the last decade, Adam Michael Rothberg has dominated the regional music scene as a producer (Dar Williams, Bernice Lewis, Jamie Morton, Pete Nelson), band member (Big Waaagh Scratch Band, Dr. Isosceles), recording engineer (Derek Studios in Dalton), publicist (Iron Horse Music Hall), manager (Dar Williams), instrumentalist (Joan Baez, Cliff Eberhardt, Sugarbeat, Sloan Wainwright, Victoria Williams, Mark Olson) and performer.
