Krenz
Coloradans already know what a national audience is
likely to discover soon--that Krenz is a talented artist
whose stylings appeal equally to aficionados of country and
folk.
Michael Roberts, Westword Magazine
One of the most beautiful voices on the planet -
who graciously shares not only her gift of music with us,
but also her skills and knowledge coaching singers around
the world.

| Charlie
Provenza

It’s
no surprise that Charlie Provenza turned out to be a great mandolin player.
Given his
early mandolin training and musical experiences, it would have been more
surprising if
he hadn’t gone on to accomplishments such as winning the Telluride mandolin
contest five
years in a row and taking the second, third and then the top spot at Winfield.
- David McCarty - Mandolin Magazine
Provenza is one of the bright stars of
the mandolin world in my opinion - Mandolin
Cafe
As
a dedicated mandolin instructor at Swallow Hill for years; a
leader of the Denver Mandolin Orchestra; and a hard working
performing musician with Gypsy Mandolin - I am always amazed
at his enthusiasm to explore new territory with the
mandolin. When I lived in Chicago, I felt so lucky to
be surrounded by mandolin players who had taken lessons from
Jethro Burns. I also got to take a few from the great
Don Stiernberg. Luck has followed me in my move to
Colorado, because I have one of the greatest mandolin
teacher/players right here in Denver. -

Subdudes' John Magnie
and Steve Amedee's
current group sang some glorious three-part harmonies with
the help of bassist Mr. Rutherford, and had the whole
Ray-Ban throng hip shaking with complete abandon.

These guys got the grooves, the songs and the
vocals... Their melodic pop-rock sing-a-longs
certainly have influenced my songwriting. They are
also touring back with the reformed Subdudes.

| Rich
Moore
Celebrated guitarist and bass
player Rich Moore has just released his first solo
recording, "Steady State". Moore is well-known and
well-loved
in Colorado's acoustic music family and has lived and
performed here for over 25 years.
I was introduced to Rich as a great bass player.
I've come to know him as a great fingerpickin' guitar player
and a really entertaining sideman, who not only knows how to
play the right thing at the right times, but says the
darndest things at the right times that'll have you laughing
out of your seat. Now with his CD release, I've
discovered he's a slide player, too!

The
Winstons
"This
is a smart and stylish recording...that sounds way too good
to be an independent release. This collection features
wonderfully melodic songs...intelligent lyrics, and two
distinctive vocalists that harmonize extremely well
together....A thoroughly enjoyable and engaging recording.
-JIM LEE, Dirty Linen
"Voices
join perfectly together. On "Darkness Too Soon,"
Cheryl's singing is reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt at her best.
"Coming Through" sounds like Bruce Cockburn meets
The X-Files."
-SHAWN HENDERSON, FolkWax.com

The
Winstons sing throughout my CD, Soul's
Engines. They recently showed up at a show and
sang on a song and it was a truly wonderful
experience. It's hard to imagine the songs on the CD
without them, and now as I perform them live, it's hard to NOT
hear them with me...
Their
own music and live performances speaks volumes -
engaging songwriting, melodic arrangements and mesmerizing
harmonies.
