Carrie Rodriguez
Fri, Sep 03
The daughter of seasoned songwriter David Rodriguez, Carrie Rodriguez launched her career in 2001 at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin and has since intersected with a number of bold faced names to push the envelope with her affectionately “post-Americana” musical style. Among those names is producer Lee Townsend (Bill Frisell, Loudon Wainwright III) who worked with Carrie on her latest record, Love and Circumstance, a covers album with songs from Buddy Miller, Townes Van Zandt, M. Ward, Hank Williams, Lucinda Williams and even some of her father’s classics. “‘Fiddle’ and ‘deadly’ don’t usually appear in the same sentence together – unless you’re talking about Carrie Rodriguez…she brought the crowd to their knees with her songs of love and regret, and a bit of vengeance.” —The Denver Post

Charlie Hunter
Feat. Eric Kalb and Michael Williams
Fri, Sept 10
With dynamite talent matched by a restless creative spirit, calling jazz/fusion guitarist Charlie Hunter anything but a seasoned musician would be a gross understatement. Since the debut of his self-titled Charlie Hunter Trio (featuring Dave Ellis on sax and Jay Lane on drums) he has recorded 17 albums, played in Michael Franti’s The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Bobby Previte’s The Coalition of the Willing, and has performed on tracks with Christian McBride and Les Claypool. For his latest recording effort, Gentlemen, I Neglected To Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid, Charlie has teamed up with drummer Eric Kalb (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, John Scofield) and Michael Williams (lead trumpet, Count Bassie Orchestra). While in town, Charlie will also host a special instrumental workshop at the Swallow Hill School of Music on Friday, September 10 at 3 p.m.

Colin Hay
Wed, Oct 13 – L2 Arts & Culture Center
“Although I’m not technically an American citizen, I’ve been living here for 20 years,” reflects Colin Hay from his home in California. “I like it here.” Colin’s new album, American Sunshine, is marked by several sideways glances at the American dream – that perilous balance between potential and reality – along with knowing ruminations on the transformative effects of love and the passing of time, set to some of the purest pop, hardest rock, and most emotionally bare acoustic balladry Colin has yet laid down. While his voice is still familiar to millions  as frontman and lead vocalist of pop sensations Men at Work,  the past 10 years have found him quietly re-introducing himself to new generations of fans. The frequent use of his music on soundtracks (Scrubs, Garden State) has proven the timeless appeal of his songs. Hay’s solo shows intersperse classic and new songs with hilarious, poignant, and downright surreal stories drawn from his often unbelievable experiences over the past three decades.

Jonathan Edwards
Fri, Oct 15
On the verge of his fifth decade in the music business, Jonathan Edwards is an artist who measures his success by his ability to attract and take good care of an audience. He maintains that it is the feedback he receives after his shows that keeps him going. “It is really gratifying to hear [someone say], ‘Your stuff has meant a lot to me over the years.’” For some, “over the years” may stem as far back as 1971 when Jonathan first released the widely successful song “Sunshine”, a fierce proclamation of protest and independence written against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. The song resonated with thousands of young men and women of the day, and for Jonathan it resulted in an almost “overnight” success which in turn has become an illustrious career.

Elephant Revival (Halloween show!)
Fri, Oct 29
Join the self-proclaimed ‘Transcendental Folk’ quintet Elephant Revival at Swallow Hill Music for this special costume-welcome Halloween concert event! Young in age and conception, Elephant Revival carries a fresh sense of creativity and inspiration that is felt by people of every generation. Individually and collectively, the band members have performed with some of the most prolific performers of our time, including Bela Fleck, John Paul Jones, Michael Franti, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, Leftover Salmon and more.

An Evening with Jeff Daniels
Sat, Nov 06
The versatility of actor/comedian Jeff Daniels is apparent in films like Terms of Endearment, the hilarious Dumb and Dumber and the cult hit The Lookout; but have you ever seen Jeff Daniels the singer/songwriter? After 30-years in film, he is making a foray into music. “I’ve been writing songs for over thirty years,” Says Jeff, “they’re my diaries. I had everything I’ve ever written in this big, black notebook…someone had suggested [for a benefit concert] if I were pushed out onstage with a guitar, people might actually pay money to see what happened.” So while finishing a film, Jeff was transcribing three decades of music into his computer when (Sound Engineer) Steve Curran inquired as to what he was doing. “Organizing my songs,” Jeff said. Steve suggested Jeff record his concert, Jeff quickly replied “turn around and finish tweaking the fart scene…I make my living as an actor, not an actor who sings…If I put out a CD there’s a…chance I’d be compared to William Shatner,” to which Steve said, “Sounds like a song to me,” then turned around and went about adding “more bass to that flatulence.”
