Friday, February 3rd Twilite Broadcasters
8:00 PM @ the Community Arts
Cafe, 411 West 4th St.,
W-S Cover:
$12/$10 F&B members
The Twilite Broadcasters' music is the missing link between
vintage country, old-time, bluegrass and rockabilly. The tight vocal harmonies of Adam Tanner and Mark Jackson bring
to mind the Louvin Brothers or Bill Monroe. Instrumentally they switch deftly between guitar, mandolin and fiddle with
backing on bass by Chuck Shreve. This Asheville-based band's 2011 album, "The Trail of Time," made
a big splash in the Americana world, particularly in Europe. The band has drawn comparisons to the Carolina Chocolate
Drops, BR549 and the Chris Thile/Michael Daves duo. Martin Anderson, music director at WNCW, said of the Broadcasters,
"Their harmonies and acoustic accompaniment are expertly crafted and their reverence for the classic tunes of the Louvins,
Monroe and the Delmore Brothers and others is undeniable." Alt-Country Forum in the Netherlands said, "A superior
record. Heartbreaking, intensely beautiful and a pleasure for your ears." We're excited to be bringing
this fine band to our stage for the first time.

Montana Skies
8:00PM
@ The Community Arts Cafe, 411 West 4th St, W-S
Cover:
$12/$10 F&B members Montana Skies is Jennifer and Jonathan Adams who met while studying
music at the University of Georgia. This talented duo on acoustic and electric cello and guitar present an exciting
show exploring the landscape of American music from jazz to pop to folk. You're likely to hear instrumental versions
of music by the Beatles, Django Reinhardt, Led Zeppelin or Pachebel as well as originals. Their high-energy performances
have delighted our audiences and quickly made them real favorites. Their music has been featured anywhere
from NPR to the Travel Channel and they have toured the US, Canada, Asia and Russia. The band's name reflects their
musical freedom and open-mindedness. Jonathan says of their music, "The fact the 'ready made' repertoire
is not available for our combination of instruments is really what pushes us to be more creative with our music. We
love composing and arranging and appreciate the opportunity to present old favorites, along with newer music, to our
audiences." We like to bring you something a little different every now and then and Montana Skies fits the
bill perfectly. Don't miss 'em!!
