Where Can I Get that Sound?

Earth Week has been blessed by a robust and diverse network of musicians who support our efforts by playing at our events, donating proceeds, sharing their time, and making our programs entertaining as well as informative. We love you all!
If you've heard a group at one of our events that you'd like to hear again, get out and support them! Here's where you can find our stars:

At the Eco-Fair, April 19

  • Bridgeland, http://www.myspace.com/bridgeland, 10:30 am
    Members: Anita Oliver, David Oliver, Rafael Barahona
    An eclectic mix of the many styles, Bridgeland ventures to meld cultures and ideas that don't always seem to fit together. Through their lives and art they hope to bridge cultural and ideological differences through the universal language of music. A live show can best be described as "acoustic, Latin folklore-influenced rock." Bridgeland's sound features lively guitar rhythms accented by traditional Andean folk instruments and topped off with commanding, soulful vocals.
  • Lua, http://www.froblossom.com, 11:45 am
    Members: David Berzonsky, Estela Knott, Javier Lazo Figueroa, Gisela Perez-Ruibal, Chebo Ballumbrosio, Moises Carpio Montero
    There is a deep "seeded" revolution going on—each day as the world turns, countries become states, states become towns and towns become neighborhoods... technology brings the world in all its beauty and rawness to our door step and it's in the evolution of our global music that Lua finds its place. Lua does not claim to be of a specific tradition, though it is inspired by a blend of North American, Latin American and African influences; it is a unique sound that calls deeply to the human spirit for oneness.
  • Jeebus, http://www.myspace.com/jeebustheband, 1:00 pm
    Members: Kent Raine, Lon Tate, Marc Lipson, Susan Munson, Tim Ryan
    Jeebus is a lively little musical cooperative whose effervescent spirit is influenced by everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughn and Los Lobos to Norah Jones, Thelonious Monk and Led Zep. Self-described as "swinging alt-country blues rockgrass," once heard you won't forget.
  • Shad Dart, http://www.myspace.com/shaddartmusic, 2:00 pm
    Members: Paul Lanctot, Jeff Saine, Kurt Dressel, Denzel McClung, and Brian "Woody" Ward
    A little bit pop, a little bit funk, and a lot country-grass. Southern rock gets reborn in an alternative package when Shad Dart takes the stage--Is it traditional or experimental? You might figure it out sometime after your feet stop tapping.
At Gravity Lounge
Emmitt Nershi Band, playing Gravity Lounge, April 22, 7:30 pm
Members: Drew Emmitt, Bill Nershi, Andy Thorn, Tyler Grant
Website: http://www.myspace.com/emmittnershiband
The idea for the Emmitt Nershi Band has been in the works for years as Drew Emmitt and Bill Nershi created a strong friendship at shows and festivals that they would cross musical paths at. The reality of Emmitt Nershi came about in the fall of 2007 when both Drew and Bill found themselves with free time from their other projects. Both founders of popular "jambands," Drew Emmitt (Leftover Salmon) and Bill Nershi (String Cheese Incident) have traveled the world and played in front of hundreds of thousands of people with their respective bands, but now they have time to pick, have fun and play bluegrass music together. The band also includes Rockygrass banjo contest winner Andy Thorn (Larry Keel, Broke Mountain, Big Fat Gap Bluegrass Band) and Nashville's Tyler Grant on bass.
Dave Barnes, playing Gravity Lounge, April 26, 10:30 pm
Website: http://www.davebarnes.com/
There are certain things in life that we never stop trying to figure out. The big things, the important things: love, pain, spirituality, a bit more love, a bit more pain. You get the idea. They're issues that inspire endless works of philosophy, art and poetry. They're the questions that inevitably lead to more questions. But someone can take these issues and remind us of their most important aspect...what we actually do understand. Nashville based artist Dave Barnes is one of these people. His songs often manage to so something even more difficult than critical analysis. They celebrate what we can grasp. Like much of the soul and R&B that influenced his southern childhood. Barnes, a Mississippi native, creates music that connects with the listener both viscerally and emotionally in such a manner that we too immediately understand where he's coming from and where we are.
