Nick Lowe has made his mark as a producer (Elvis Costello-Graham Parker-Pretenders-The Damned), songwriter of at least three songs you know by heart, short-lived career as a pop star, and a lengthy term as a musicians’ musician. But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. Nick brings wit and understated excellence to every performance, leading Ben Ratliff of the New York Times to describe his live show as “elegant and nearly devastating.”

Nick's special guest is two-time Grammy-nominated Nashville songwriter, Kim Richey.  Kim co-wrote two number one hits; the Grammy-nominated “Believe Me Baby I Lied” for Trisha Yearwood and “Nobody Wins” for Radney Foster, as well as songs for The Dixie Chicks, Brooks & Dunn and Patty Loveless.

Grammy Award-winner Paula Cole broke out big with her 1996 Warner Brothers album This Fire, which made her the first solo woman ever nominated for a "Producer of the Year" Grammy and included two enduring hit songs: "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait" (now the theme song for the WB series "Dawson's Creek"). She's been nominated for seven Grammys and won the Grammy Award for “Best New Artist.”

Paula has been applauded as "a feisty poet with a soaring voice and a funky groove" (Entertainment Weekly); "An extraordinary songwriter with a gorgeous voice" (Rolling Stone) and "an original voice both in what she is saying and how she is saying it." (Peter Gabriel). 

Special guest Jesse Terry is an award-winning songwriter who inspired one presenter to say, "If you've listened to classic Jackson Browne or James Taylor or Paul Simon and wondered why no one writes like that any more, well, Jesse does."

Tickets: $25

Two-time Grammy winner and CMA Female Vocalist of The Year Kathy Mattea has spent three decades among the pantheon of alt-country pioneers, from her first #1 hit "Goin' Gone" to her top-ten recording of Nanci Griffiths' "Love At The Five and Dime," CMA and ACM Single of the Year "Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses" and Grammy-winning Best Vocal Performance "Where've You Been."  Her greatest-hits collection went platinum. More recently, Kathy has gone back to explore her Appalachian roots, in her 2008 album Coal and in her newest release, Callin' Me Home.  Kathy will appear with her acoustic quartet.
