Known best for her offbeat 1974 pop hit "Midnight at the Oasis," Maria Muldaur finally puts that camel to bed with a crisply produced, impudent album of stripped-down acoustic blues songs from the 1920s and 1930s.  read more »

Hi All,

I am glad to report I am closing in on the finsihing my book, Guitar Woman. In the last seven years I have done over 80 interviews, written a ton, traveled in Guitar Women shows and just spread the good word about this. It has been the most awe inspiring thing I have ever done. The funny thing is none of it has felt like work (except the grammar and punctuation). It has been loads of fun to learn about the experiences of other women guitarists and I am truly humbled by all of it.

In the last month or so I have gotten my interview with Bonnie Raitt (waited over two years for that one) and hired an assistant and a young editor to help me get everything organized and ready for shopping to literary agents. I am now officially off the road until I get this completed. I am doing only the odd date so my son and I can eat for the next few months. I plan to be done the book by the year's end.  read more »

(born on February 8, 1941 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire)

Tom Rush is a gifted musician and performer, whose shows offer a musical celebration...a journey into the tradition and spectrum of what music has been, can be, and will become. His distinctive guitar style, wry humor and warm, expressive voice have made him both a legend and a lure to audiences around the world. His shows are filled with the rib-aching laughter of terrific story-telling, the sweet melancholy of ballads and the passion of gritty blues.  read more »
