The Honeysuckle Possums
Minimum Donation: $25 per person
The Honeysuckle Possums are a high-energy, all woman string band, playing old-time mountain music, originals, and bluegrass. These gals have foot-stomping, down home, back porch rhythm, creating and sharing joy wherever they go! The Honeysuckle Possums have played all over California and Oregon and continue to gain praise for their beautiful harmonies, incredible instrumentation, and spirited Appalachian Flat Foot dancing. They have performed at the Goleta Old Time Fiddlers Festival, the Parkfield Bluegrass Festival, The Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival and Grass Valley Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival -- to name a few) -- all to rave reviews.
“Every bluegrass and old times festival would be remiss not having these girls at it!!”
--Wally Barnick/Cache Valley Drifters
The Honeysuckle Possums' two lead singers are award winning songwriter, Susan Marie Reeves (guitar, strumstick, ukulele) and Charletta Erb (fiddle). Lisa Macker (stand up bass, mandolin) joins in on harmonies. Amber Mueller adds flavor and sass on multiple instruments (bass, fiddle, banjo). Ruth Alpert is the band's national champion Appalachian-style flat-footer who makes it easy for the crowd to and clap along. www.honeysucklepossums.com

The Susie Glaze New Folk Ensemble
Minimum Donation: $25 per person
The Susie Glaze New Folk Ensemble is an acclaimed Los Angeles-based Americana band. They are a lush new-folk Americana fusion ensemble, presenting gorgeous eclectic blends of mountain folk and exciting new-grassy and Celtic-inspired originals, all with the remarkable voice of Susie Glaze. The band also features mandolinist Steve Rankin, fiddler Mark Indictor, and bassist Fred Sanders. The group has been likened to the classic British bands Pentangle and Fairport Convention in that they blend classic folk music with rough-edged stories of tragedy and fate, all with orchestral arrangements sounding like chamber music gone folk! The band has appeared at many premier venues and festivals on the West Coast, including Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage, McCabe’s Guitar Shop, The Broad Stage, the Hollywood Bowl and more. No Depression magazine called the band “...one of the finest and most original Americana groups in California (or in the country for that matter).” www.susieglaze.com
