Prodigious players with songwriting that sets them apart, Canadian American Roots-Folk duo Dan Frechette & Laurel Thomsen combine soaring violin, dynamic guitar styles, compelling and humorous storytelling, and unique vocal chemistry for “a match made in heaven.” Meeting in 2012 via a chance YouTube sighting and fueled by a once-in-a-lifetime musical chemistry, they’ve released five albums together and toured North America and Europe extensively, performing everything from house concerts to headlining spots at The Listening Room Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida, BBC Radio in Liverpool, UK, Canada’s definitive Winnipeg Folk Festival, Northern California’s beloved Kate Wolf Music Festival, and opening up for the likes of Laurence Juber and The Wailin’ Jennys. However, hard work and dedication are only a facet of their relationship; as those who meet and hear them soon discover, “there is something incredibly romantic about these two and the way that their love story is told through their music.
River Voices is an Americana group featuring Jaqui Hope on vocals; Linda Arceo on guitars; Laurel Thomsen on soaring violin and Rory Glass on bass with special guests John Nava on percussion and Sam Nilson on guitar. Their music explores the grit of life, a desert trail, a lonely mountain top, a situation that suddenly leaves you shaken, but you gotta’ pick up and move on. With originals you think you already know and reimagined rock songs you forgot about, they are a powerhouse of emotion and talent. Both Jacqui Hope and Linda Arceo have played in numerous jazz and rock ‘n roll bands over the years. Hope most notably with Lucidology and arceo with Trusting Lucy.
Monterey’s Sensory TRiBE is an 8-member band that plays an exciting blend of Latin, hip hop, and reggae music. Officially formed in 2016, the band has performed at the Fall Harvest Festival at UC Santa Cruz, The Greenfield Harvest Festival, Brews for a Cause at the Monterey Museum of Art, First Night Monterey and The West End Celebration in Sand City. In summer of 2018, the band released their first studio album, “Who We Are”. The band is comprised of Gerardo “El Kallpa” Olivares on vocals and percussion, Chris Caruthers on drums, Sean McGill on guitar and vocals, Righteous Sistah on vocals, Sweesly Maak on vocals and keys, Rebekah Cordell on saxophone, Evelyn Nieto on trombone, and Glenn Bell on bass.
Hailing from a background in musical theater, The Transducers are a versatile 4-piece band rooted in rock, funk, pop and “a little outlaw-ballad” sprinkled on top. The band’s original songs are beautifully arranged and produced, and they love “Transducifying” covers that span across many decades and styles. In 2023 the band performed the pre-concerts at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga for Pat Benatar and Melissa Etheridge and appeared at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles. The band’s original music has been receiving airplay of local radio stations KSQD and KRML and are set to release their full-length CD of original music in the summer of 2024.
