8:00pm to 8:45pm--- Piper Grey     www.piper-grey.com
Long known individually throughout Southern California's "Acoustic Underground" for their solo work, both David Piper (who has released three albums on the Trough label, most recently Lemonade Shoes in 2005) and Earl Grey (whose Lover's Ridge album is widely regarded as one of the finest acoustic-rock CDs to emerge from L.A.'s acoustic music scene) have earned highly-regarded reputations in their own right.

In 2006 David and Earl, who had always respected each others' music, began sitting in on the other's live performances. It didn't take long until something magical clicked and “Piper-Grey” was born. The combination of Piper's classic blues/folk guitar licks and playful sense of humor, and Grey's electrifying guitar wizardry and sixties-style lyricism and musicality - and the unbelievable beauty of their tenor voices singing in duet - literally made audiences stop what they were doing to listen. They've been playing solidly together ever since and their debut album, “APPLES” (TROUGH RECORDS/2008), won high praise from such respected publications as American Songwriters Magazine (ranked "Apples" the 4th best album that year). Piper-Grey has continued to collaborate on carefully crafted songs, each one an amazing work of American folk-pop music.

9:00pm to 9:45pm--- Brainard and Russell     www.brainardandrussell.com
The classic experience of blowing out a tire on a desolate highway and being stranded for hours is the inspiration for Brainard and Russell's newly released CD "Red Rock Canyon."  The new tracks still combine California Comfort with Brit Pop sense as with their 2005 CD "Life in Java," but carry even more of an edge. Think of the band "America" turned up a notch.  These homegrown valley guys have been gigging together since 1981 and will be harmonizing their way through songs from both albums.
