Bob Milne

Whether he is playing a gently swinging classic Missouri rag, setting fire to the piano with a knockout boogie-woogie or syncopating a traditional tune like ‘Wabash Cannonball,’ Bob leaves the audience gasping in awe. He shares historical tidbits about ragtime’s heyday between piano pieces and always keeps the audience captivated. Although Bob Milne is now a highly sought–after performer for presidents, heads of state and other high-profile groups, he still enjoys touring the country and playing for small-town audiences. It is no wonder that in 2004 Bob was designated a National Treasure by the Library of Congress. web site

The Grass Valley Male Voice Choir

In Cornwall, England, the male voice choir tradition goes back as far as anyone can remember. Cornish miners came to Grass Valley during the Gold Rush of 1849 when their skills in hard rock mining were needed to extract gold from the earth. With them came their rich tradition of singing. An all male voice choir sang in Grass Valley for over 90 years. As gold mining faded in Grass Valley so did the male voice choir. Thanks to her passion and love of these traditions, Eleanor Kenitzer founded the Cornish Carol Choir in 1990 and then gave life to the current Grass Valley Male Voice Choir in 1997. The choir toured Cornwall in 2000 and 2002. web site

Flambeau specializes in fiery Cajun and zydeco two-steps, low-down blues, funky New Orleans grooves, and heartbreakingly beautiful ballads. Tom is the son of baseball great, Bill Rigney. web site
