Gregory Page is a product of his own imagination. He was born in London, England on Easter Sunday in 1963 to Armenian and Irish parents who met while they were on tour with their bands en route to the Middle East. The boy showed little interest in academic or business studies and was always fascinated listening to 78 rpm records on his grandfather's phonograph. Upon escapeing to America he began a series of odd jobs, namely as a cab driver and cook he also began tirelessly writing and recording his own brand of music.

Robin and Linda Williams are like your next-door neighbors - assuming your neighbors are the salt-of-the-earth and top-flight performers to boot. One minute you picture borrowing a cup of sugar from these two; the next, you're completely stunned by their jaw-dropping talent. Bottom line: You feel right at home at a Robin and Linda concert, and their music stays with you like an old friend.

Mike + Ruthy met in NYC, just out of college. Daughter to Hudson Valley fiddling legend Jay Ungar and folk-singer Lyn Hardy, Ruthy’s was a past steeped in the folk tradition. Mike had his musical roots planted in the ska-punk and rock scene blasting from the college radio station in his hometown of Durham, NH. The two fell in love and went on to form the folk-rock behemoth The Mammals, which toured the world many times over. Now married and settled just outside Woodstock, NY, they tour with a full band or as a duo and sometimes share the stage with their fiddling two-year-old son, Will.

WAYMORES: A delicious blend of contemporary folk, retro pop and old school country by three of the best performing songwriters in the world!

Grammy Award winner DON HENRY's songs have been recorded by Ray Charles, Patti Page, Conway Twitty, Kathy Mattea and dozens of other great artists... but they shine brightest when sung by the artist who wrote them. Long appreciated as one of Nashville's finest singer-songwriters, Don is revered by fans, critics and peers alike for being one of the most inspiring, entertaining and funny(!) artists you are ever likely to see and hear.

Steve and Cindy have been performing together for 20 years, bringing together their love of traditional music and their wealth of original songs. Accompanying themselves with guitar, concertina and banjo, their live performances are known for rich harmony, compelling songs and a good dose of humor.

Bob Franke (it rhymes with “Yankee”) is at the peak of his considerable craft; brimming with the wise and spiritually generous songs for which he is best known, along with wrenchingly convincing topical songs and sugared with the hilarious. His are the kind of songs that really do have the power to change the world by being taken into the lives of people. They come to you, these songs.

We have come together annually to celebrate our rich maritime heritage and
the work songs of the sailor. We sing the songs for fun now, but we hear
history in the words. Each verse of every song contains a nugget of the
past in which you can hear of love and war, triumph and tragedy, truth and
tall tale, word origins and silliness.

This will be the eighteenth Chantey Fest that we at San Diego Folk Heritage
have presented along with the Maritime Museum of San Diego. We're grateful
to the Museum and its staff for all of their time and energy, and especially

Alone or with fellow musicians; guitar, fiddle, or banjo in hand, Bruce Molsky has been exploring traditional music from an astonishingly broad range of cultures over the past two decades – synthesizing them and refracting them through his own evolving sensibilities to the point where the sources of his inspiration transform themselves into a sound that is uniquely his.

Wood's Tea Company is a musical group that defies categorization. They perform Celtic tunes, bluegrass, sea shanties, and folk songs with equal ease and skill. In concert, the Vermont-based group draws on a wide variety of musical experience and expression. They employ as many as a dozen different instuments from banjos, bezoukis, and bodhrans, to guitars and tin whistles.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 11, 1955, Peter Sprague was raised in Colorado until 1963, when his family moved to Del Mar, California. Inspired by his father's love of jazz, he took up the guitar when he was twelve. By the age of fifteen he was devoting all his time and energy to learning music. He studied with San Diego jazz guitarist Bill Coleman, played in his high school stage band, and formed his first group, the Minor Jazz Quartet.

The folk-music duo, Men of Worth, was formed by James Keigher (Ireland) and Donnie Macdonald (Scotland) in 1986. Both exiles, it was through the Celtic music scene in Southern California that James and Donnie first met, and within a couple of years a partnership developed that was simultaneously serious and fun. Geographical changes now find James and Donnie living in Southern Oregon and Northern California respectively. Whilst remaining true to their Gaelic roots, Men of Worth have successfully evolved as entertainers.

From the Familiar Roads of his hometown of Clydebank, Scotland to the sunkissed beaches of California Peter Daldry brings his talent and unique voice. Peter is becoming the vocalist of choice at Scottish and Irish events in Northern California and beyond, he now resides in Santa Clara CA. Blessed with a strong smooth tenor voice Peter sings the only way he knows how, with power and passion and depth of feeling.

CROWFOOT'S MUSIC: These three full-time musicians revel in their American and Québécois roots. They have been one of the most sought-after bands on the contra dance scene. They are superb musicians who really know how to play for dancers. Crowfoot’s energy is contagious.

George, Diane, Pamela, and Laura have been performing together for almost 20 years at concerts and festivals across the United States. Yes, they are actually sisters, and Geoge is their cousin. When he moved back to California, they realized they all loved the the same kind of music, and had learned many of the same songs. They worked on some tunes together, and ended up being asked on stage for the first time by the popular duo Men of Worth at the Bob Burns Restaurant in Woodland Hills, California.

Three of San Diego's most respected singer-songwriters in one show playing together on one stage. TRIPTYCH is comprised of the celebrated triumvirate of Peggy Watson, David Beldock and Joe Rathburn.
