The result <br /> is a tasty mix of sharp songwriting,three-part harmonies and a classic Americana musical <br /> palette. <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- Open Eye Cafe; 7:00- 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 Klezmer Band- Century Center; 1:00- Magnolia's unique sound comes from the <br /> mingling of musicians with roots in a panorama of musical traditions: Klezmer,Balkan, Jazz, <br /> brass band,polka, and classical.

The live show combines powerful vocal harmonies with the gritty chug of guitars <br /> along with a sexy stage presence,taking the audience on a musical rollercoaster ride.

The second release, Forget the Fairy Tale was <br /> released in 2005 and was selected as one of the Top 25 CD's of 2006 by indiemusic.com. <br /> Barrowburn-ArtsCenter West End; 5:00- Barrowburn is a Raleigh,NC based band presenting <br /> traditional Celtic music on acoustic instruments for dances, public performances, group <br /> meetings, and private engagements throughout North Carolina. Barrowburn prides itself in its <br /> versatility. They are equally at home ripping through a set of jigs or reels as they are rendering <br /> the simple beauty of a slow air or lament. They perform both legacy and contemporary ballads <br /> from the tradition as well as comical pub songs that are best accompanied by a swinging pint of <br /> Guinness. In concert,they demonstrate their love for Celtic music, but do so from an American <br /> perspective. <br />
