Lil’ Ed Williams
 Although
small in stature, he’s a true giant of the blues, and among the very
authentic West Side Chicago bluesmen. From smoking slide guitar
boogies to raw-boned Chicago shuffles to the deepest slow blues, Lil’
Ed Williams is a master bluesman.
Midnight Slim
Bill Kirchen
 Bill
Kirchen has become widely known for the trademark big-rig guitar riffs
that powered the Commander Cody hit “Hot Rod Lincoln” into the Top 10
in 1972. Since 1993, he has recorded seven critically acclaimed albums
of his own that have made him one of the musical elder statesmen of
today’s Americana music, which in truth was pioneered by acts like
Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen back in the ‘70s.
Sean Carney Band
 “The
next big thing has already been around the block,” a Canadian
newspaper reporter wrote of The Sean Carney Band’s impressive showing
and subsequent victory at The 2007 International Blues Challenge, held
in February in Memphis, Tennessee, explaining that Carney and his crew
are no newcomers to Blues. The IBC is presented by The Blues
Foundation, who also awarded 34 year-old Carney the Albert King Best
Guitarist Award and Best Dressed in their 23rd annual competition,
before an audience of 1,700 blues lovers.
Red Molly
 This
New York Americana trio got it’s organic start at a late-night jam
session during the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Laurie MacAllister,
Abbie gardner and Carolann Solebello were brought together by a love
of traditional American music, old gospel, bluegrass, and the old-timey
songs of contemporary artists like Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss.
Red Molly plays a variety of stringed instruments, and sings in tight
three-part harmony, creating their distinctive, rootsy sound.
Acoustic Stage
The Barley Boys Duo
 The
Barley Boys Duo is an intimate collaboration of two talented
musicians. One brings traditional roots with flair and the other
combines his poetic lyrics and rock licks with an Irish sound.
Michael Babick, singer, guitarist, and songwriter has been a
professional musician for over 25 years. His inspiration for Celtic
music comes from researching his lineage; recent trips to Ireland have
reinforced his sense of heritage.
Paul Kennedy, who sings, plays the fiddle and tin whistle with
exceptional talent has given Michael the satisfaction of hearing the
music the way he always dreamed. Paul has been playing Irish music
since he was a young boy; he derives his talent from his musical
family.
The Barley Boys have released 3 CD’s: “It’s A Long Drive From
Ireland!” in 2000 and “The Days of Abundance” in 2005. Their third CD
“No More Shenanigans” was released in March 2007. Check out The Barley
Boys at www.thebarleyboys.com or call 215-694-6692.
