 Starting at 7pm - The Stairwell Sisters: Those pep-stepping San Francisco 
 darlings, The Stairwell Sisters, are cutting a new figure in old-time 
 music. With a deep and lively repertoire of timeless tunes plus a solid 
 standing of original material that is already winning praise, the Stairwell 
 Sisters lay down concerts and square dances for counter-culturalists of 
 every generation. Energetic musicianship, tight vocal arrangements and 
 red-hot buckdancing make for a kicking quintet that delivers spanking good 
 listening and dancing.  Stephanie Prausnitz (fiddle) and Evie Ladin 
 (banjo/clogging) are steeped in the old-time repertoire, bringing tunes 
 with just the right chomp and jive to suit the quintet's dynamic feel. Lisa 
 Berman's unique approach to the dobro adds a grit that walks a line through 
 country and blues. Martha Hawthorne (bass) and Sue Sandlin (guitar/tiple) 
 motor the band forward with their lock-step rhythm. All of the sisters 
 sing, and they have a knack for infusing the old music with intoxicating 
 energy and soul. (http://www.stairwellsisters.com)  On at 8:30 - Lua: There 
 is a deep 'seeded' revolution going on— each day as the world turns, 
 countries become states, states become towns and towns become neighborhoods 
 — technology brings the world in all its beauty and rawness to our 
 doorstep and it's in the evolution of our global music that  Lua finds its 
 place. Lua does not claim to be of a specific tradition, though it is 
 inspired by a blend of North American, Latin American and African 
 influences; it is a unique sound that calls deeply to the human spirit for 
 oneness.  So if you choose to label us, that is what we would like for you 
 to do. Our music is your music, so whatever it brings to you, let it 
 be—Nueva cancion, Cumbia jazz, Latin folk, Reggae, Luscious new world 
 Soul — be our guest. We would like to start a new label, a "U-label," 
 because how can  we label each individual's experience? How can we or 
 anyone else for that matter label how you interpret the landscape of our 
 dreams? (http://www.froblossom.com)  \n
