Oryan Peterson-Jones- Oryan began performing from behind the Redwood Curtain in the late nineties and developed his signature, fast-fingerpicking style while playing with the 25-year running, Humboldt psych-rock mavens, Datura Blues. While Datura Blues satisfy a collective effort and engage in more grandiose musical pursuits, Oryan's solo output demonstrates an enthusiasm for his studies into the field of ethnomusicology, with camaraderie towards the New Weird America folk movement and American Primitive tradition. His sound is a blend of West African blues, Romani jazz, Palm Wine island music, romantic fado, dusty ragas, cowboy flamenco, and Thai Mor lam.

Buddy Reed & The Rip It Ups-Over the decades, Buddy Reed has crafted a unique style, combining a raw and passionate vocal style, high energy staccato rhythm guitar, and searing leads. He sings and plays with a sweat drenched intensity rarely matched by his peers. A highlight of the show is his slide guitar showcase, inspired by Muddy Waters, Elmore James and J. B. Hutto. His repertoire reflects his love for early rock & roll, including the songs of Chuck Berry, Little Richard and The Coasters. His originals speak of the hard life of an uncompromising blues veteran.
