Special Ed and ShortbusTuesday 26th August From Richmond, Virginia. A bluegrass/punk/blues 5 piece multi-instrumental band with lyrics to stop you in your tracks. A humorous, entertaining stage act and musical extravaganza! |

The Hunger Mountain BoysTuesday 15th July 2008 From Massachusetts. This trio play a mixture of blue grass, swing and old-time country with crisp vocals accompanied by guitars, steel guitar, mandolin, fiddle and double bass. It produces a foot-tapping slick performance with great vocal harmonies to take you back in time. |

Kirsty McGee & Mat MartinSaturday 14th June 2008 From Manchester. Kirsty's self-penned songs of life, love and wanderlust are difficult to categorise but her soft, melodic voice with Mat's multi-instrumental accompaniment produce moving, thought provoking music. They appeared as support for Capercaillie at Celtic connections this year. |
|
Sinsheen31st May 2008 From Angus, Christine Kydd and Barbara Dymock. Pure and clear harmonic singing with gentle and sensitive guitar accompaniment. A chance to hear a good, sometimes animated performance of traditional and contemporary Scots songs, some of which are self-penned. |
|
The Groanbox Boys18th May 2008 From Brooklyn/London this duo, Cory Seznec and Michael Ward-Bergeman, play an 'eclectic foot-stompin', boot-shakin', claw-hammerin', box-pumpin', sweat-drippin'-from-ceilin' American folk and blues. Writing their own music, I think their "Hobo Heaven", with its mean harmonica, soulful lyrics and amazing accordian, is a joy to hear. I'd like to learn this one. |
|
Phil Lee & John Sieger(28th February 2008) From Nashville & Milwaukee. Phil's music can be described as country with a rock n' roll heart, with his road-worn voice, clever wordplay and skilled harmonica, he brings Bob Dylan to mind. John plays roots/rock/soul and is an accomplished singer/songwriter. www.nessmp3.com/music/phillee & www.nessmp3.com/music/johnsieger |

Laura Boosinger & Josh Goforth(8th April 2008) Their second visit to the Tin Hut, from N. Carolina. Appalachian mountain music. Laura's smooth voice alongside her skilled banjo playing, and with Josh's great guitar and vocal accompaniment, they thrilled a full hall last year. |
