| HALFWAY HOME SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 AT 7:00 PM |
Halfway Home packs a song list that reads like a roadmap through the heart of American
Roots Songwriting. From the familiar to songs from roads less traveled, Halfway Home loves
playing this music their own way – and it shows.
Brian Szuch: electric and acoustic guitar, mandolin and resophonic guitar
Mike Hale: mandolin, bouzouki, acoustic guitar, banjo and percussion
Patti Ramsey: acoustic guitar and percussion
Pat Casey: accordion and acoustic guitar
Renilda Marshall: bass
All members sing both lead and harmony vocals.

| UNCLE MONK NOVEMBER 15, 2008 AT 7:00 PM |
Uncle Monk mines the thin golden vein connecting punk and bluegrass by stubbornly
avoiding a mixture of the two. In fact, given the rough-and-tumble roots of one half of
the duo (Tommy Ramone), they are surprisingly faithful to the timeworn traditions
and structures of the latter. Their self-titled debut distinguishes itself on the merit of
its unconventional subject matter and the deadpan delivery of guitarist/singer Claudia
Tienan. “Emotional Needs,” “Home Sweet Reality” and “Bright Fluorescent” all
present a wry and entirely modern take on the eternal quest for leaving one’s troubles
behind. “Need a life, need a life,” Tienan quietly mutters, “wish to hell I had one.”

| ZEMAN & WALSH NOVEMBER 29, 2008 AT 7:00 PM |
“Walsh is what people sometimes refer
to a ‘musician’s musician,’” say Mark
Logan, founder of Busted Flat Records.
“He’s so talented and he can play in so
many different styles and voices, but he
still has his own sound – his own vision
and style. Diesel & Smokes is a tribute
to his incredible versatility and
originality.”

Paul Symes, owner of the famous Black Sheep Inn (Wakefield),
says that Brock Zeman “clearly ranks with the best emerging
Texas/US singer-songwriters that we have encountered here at
Blacksheep: Adam Carroll, Hayes Carll, Chris Knight and Slaid
Cleaves. Just like them, he's got fistfuls of ferociously good songs
and he's not afraid to use 'em. In many ways, he reminds me of a
kid Fred Eaglesmith: great stories, fine melodies, a wicked sense of
humour."
