New Stevie Coyle CD Released

At his second Auburn House Concert back in January Stevie announced that his first solo CD named 622 will be available in a couple of months. We'll its out with a different title, Ten In One. The marketing blurb follows. Naturally the CD is available at StevieCoyle.com and other find book stores.

Stevie Coyle was a co-founder of the Waybacks, fronting them as a songwriter and vocalist, as well as rhythm and fingerstyle lead guitarist. He recently left the Waybacks and branched out as a solo singer-songwriter.

His debut CD, "Ten-in-One", is being released this month. This is a concept album, ostensibly about a trip to a sideshow and back. The cast includes Mike Marshall (David Grisman Darol Anger, Choro Famoso) on mandolin, Sam Bevan (Grisman, Joe Craven, Matt Flinner) on bass, Philip Aaberg (Windham Hill, Eugene Friesen) on accordion, Hank Roberts (Bill Frisell) on cello, Kit Walker (Kundalini Boombox, Airto Moreira) on keys, Kendrick Freeman (Allison Brown) on drums, Heidi Clare (AtAGallop, Reeltime Travelers) on fiddle, Dr. Robby Virus (Project Pimiento) on theremin, Marla Fibish (Three Mile Stone) on mandolin, Rich DePaolo (Ten Sleep) on electric guitar, mixing and mastering, Mike Phelan (Marley's Ghost), Corinne West, Teresa Tudury, Misty Browning and Rachel Tree on vocals. Walter Strauss produced and plays guitar and sings. I play guitar, lap steel and sing.

In this performance Stevie will be accompanied by Kit Walker on Keyboards, Kendrick Freeman on drums, and Sam Bevan on bass and harmony vocals. Since, in an earlier incarnation, Stevie was also a stand-up comedian (The Regan Brothers with Roy Zimmerman), expect also a lot of funny stuff!

Bryan Bowers

Master Autoharpist and Singer/Songwriter

Suggested Donation: $20

Bryan Bowers is a major artist on the traditional music circuit. A well-known singer/songwriter he has redefined the autoharp. Bryan has a dynamic outgoing personality and an uncanny ability to enchant a crowd. His towering six foot four inch from can be wild and zany on stage while playing a song like 'Dixie' and five minutes later he can have the same audience singing 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' in quiet reverence and delight.

For nearly four decades, Bryan Bowers has been to the autoharp what Earl Scruggs was to the 5-string banjo. He presents instrumental virtuosity combined with warm, eloquence, expression and professionalism.

"This man makes more music from an Autoharp than you can imagine from a 12-string guitar and a harpsichord combined. He has more stage presence and charisma than any stage performer in recent memory." --The Washington Times

Reservations recommended. Your $20 contribution goes to the artist. Email info@AuburnHouseConcerts.org or call 530/885-4292 for reservations and directions. Doors open at 7pm, music starts at 7:30pm.

Euphonia, September 12

Not your mama's folk music!

We finally have a date for the Euphonia concert, Friday September 12th.



Euphonia, a café-style acoustic combo, features accordion, mandolin, guitar, and voices, and its repertoire takes listeners on a journey from the sophisticated sidewalks of Paris across the adventurous high seas to the hay-strewn dance floors of rural America.
