SAT, 7.6 - Sandii Castleberry and John Malcolm Penn
Idyllwild/Palm Desert musical entertainer Sandii Castleberry is truly a human jukebox! With her 700+ song repertoire, Sandii plays just about everything, from blues to bluegrass, and jazz standards to classic country. Sandii performs in venues from Temecula to Paso Robles and spent 20 years as an Arts Educator for Segerstrom's Center for the Arts in Orange County where she conducted music workshops and folk music assemblies in schools. She also performed several times at the Stagecoach Music Festival in Coachella during the early years.
John Malcom Penn's music is aimed squarely at the listener who enjoys truly original songs that are unique, introspective, at times funny and always thought provoking. There is something beneath the surface that commands repeated listening. Be advised that John and his songs will sneak up on you.
John came from the era of super trend changing creativity that was the California music scene in the 1970s. He shared the stage with personal friends and fellow artists such as Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell and Guy Clark, producing Guy's demo in 1970. He also worked with, and had a huge influence on, his long time friend and fellow Blue Night label mate Steve Spurgin.
SAT, 7.13 Bone Thumpers + Jessie Payo
The Bonethumpers are one of Southern California's best blues bands. Dynamic and fiery, with a hint of Texas and New Orleans mixed in, they pay homage to the old masters of the blues while leaving their indelible mark on every sing they perform.
SAT, 7.20 Nathan James + Monica Sierras
Nathan James is a true original American roots music artist who makes a lot of sound pickin’ and scratchin’ on his handmade invention of washboard guitar; stomping out funky beats on his custom foot percussion box; all while singing and blowing harmonica or kazoo to his own original music. But aside from all of these tools of the trade, his main focus is well crafted songwriting and his artistry is far from just a live show gimmick. Constantly touring Europe and the states, he never fails to bring the people an experience they’ll never forget. Nathan is also a well respected world renown roots and blues guitarist who is always in demand for back up many legends on stage and in the studio.
