The band features Mietek Glinkowski on violin and Doug Norton on piano. Bill <br /> Hayes may play drums and Tony Galiani on bass. <br /> Great Big Gone-Weaver Street Market; 4:15-Great Big Gone is a group of Triangle music <br /> veterans brought together by a passion for the many facets of American roots music. Their <br /> repertoire is a carefully-crafted amalgam of styles from electrified porch picking and honky tonk <br /> to blues to Western Swing to roots rock, consisting primarily of original compositions. The result <br /> is a tasty mix of sharp songwriting, three-part harmonies and a classic Americana musical <br /> palette. <br /> Brian and Mary Lewis-Balloons &Tunes/Framer's Comer; 3:00-Brian and Mary Lewis are a <br /> vocals-and-acoustic instruments duo based in Durham, who play music from an era that has been <br /> all but forgotten in the current wave of market-driven, made-for-television country acts. <br /> Audiences can expect a variety of styles of songs sung in close harmony, with a repertoire drawn <br /> from the 1930s, '40s and '50s along with songs from more contemporary sources. A typical <br /> performance includes "brother duets" from the '30s and '40s and honky tonk music from the <br /> '40s and '50s, as well as old-time,bluegrass and even Tex-Mex selections—just to keep things <br /> lively. <br /> Saludos Compay-Tyler's Parking Lot; 8:00-They take the audience on a musical tour that <br /> features traditional, contemporary, and original music from Latin America and the Caribbean. <br /> This amazingly versatile trio keeps toes tapping. Lead vocalist/guitarist Pablo Valencia, from <br /> Chile, sings a wide range of styles. He is as much at ease with a reflective bolero as with an <br /> upbeat salsa. The group performs a number of Valencia's acclaimed original compositions, such <br /> as the romantic Cancion Para Dos, the rumba Bello Amor, and the very upbeat salsa song <br /> Entumido. On keyboards, Erich Lieth adds spice to the strong Latin rhythms with <br /> improvisational piano solos and bass. Chuck Nolan, lead percussionist, intricately weaves the <br /> rhythm patterns, be it for a subtle bossa nova or a danceable cumbia. <br /> See No Weevil-Weaver Street Market; 5:15- See No Weevil is a funky little trio that delivers an <br /> infectious (infectious?)mix of eclectic music, most of it with a blues and R&B flavor. Some are <br /> originals, the others mostly reinterpretations of other tunes that never made a chart. In short,the <br /> band plays a lot of danceable tunes you haven't heard before, but'll want to hear again. The trio is <br /> John Soady on guitar and (if the fancy seizes him), lap steel, Brunson Hoole on drums and <br /> percussion and Jeff Elliott on bass guitar and (when strung out,so to speak) upright bass. <br /> Magnolia Klezrner Band- ArtsCenter's Wynn Theater; 3:00-agnolia's unique sound comes from <br /> the mingling of musicians with roots in a panorama of musical traditions: Klezmer,Balkan, Jazz, <br /> brass band, polka, and classical. The band continues to expand its repertoire: most recently with <br /> additions from Vaudeville and from the world of Russian cabaret music. Now twelve years old, <br /> MKB numbers 12 -15 regular members who perform in the 'industrial strength' concert band. <br />
