Trina Hamlin She’s appeared on The Late Show with Conan O’Brien, and her music has been part of movies and television shows. That’s nice, but it’s her musical prowess that’ll amaze you. When she performs, a slow smolder burns for a while and then burst into flame. Great vocals and guitar work are augmented by fantastic harmonica riffs. A one-woman show, one wonders what she can’t do. This will be Trina’s second appearance here, and we’re pleased that she’s is finishing up her tour in Germany to join us. Trina’s home is New York, NY.

 

Beaucoup Blue the Americana Philadelphia based duo of David and Adrian Mowry. Father and son have been performing their roots based music nationally and internationally as a duo, quartet and on occasion quintet. Bridging many gaps in American music, their soulful traditional and contemporary styles mesh into an innovative and authentic sound. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they base their love in music from Folk, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Country and Bluegrass. All these interests and influences come out in their original song-writing in a unique way. A handsome range of instruments like six and twelve string guitars, slide guitar, round neck resonator guitar, combined with two soulful voices, encompasses a rich and honest feel, noticeably influenced by familial ties.

 

Pops Walker A former soldier, Pops is somewhat of a renaissance man. Living in Luray, VA, he’s an author, a story teller, and a seriously ferocious guitar player. With his smoky, gravelly voice, and his lyrical stories, he takes his audiences to places they’ve never been. “Southern-fried-zen-mojo” is his genre, and when he performs, it’s with a contagious joy and reckless abandon. One of his guitarist friends recently described him best: “Pops is a force of nature.”
