Mary Fagan

A free spirit and musical devotion have made Mary Fagan a true original with wide ranging influences. Backing herself solidly on guitar or piano, she floats seamlessly from jazz to folk, blues and rock. Influences range from Duke Ellington to The Grateful Dead, you can't fit her into just one musical category. But no matter what she plays, you will be captivated. Her voice delivers like it was forged in the blues then dipped in velvet.

The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan have been big influences, as well as jazz artists such as Billie Holiday and Fats Waller. Texas has left it's mark with classic country & western swing from the likes of Ray Price & Bob Wills. Whether with a group or accompanying herself on guitar or piano, her vocals are striking. She is both gritty and pure, her winsome style could give a grey sky the blues.

Sferes and White

A passionate love affair between acoustic rock and soulful folk.

Jimmy Sferes and Jennifer White have discovered an uncommon synergy, blending clear and luscious harmonies with complex and imaginative guitar playing. Their fun and engaging live performances feature an eclectic and soulful combination of blues, roots and rock. Their song "Small Stuff" won an Honor Award in the Great American Song Contest, and they have appeared on Garrison Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion" radio program as well as the Hallmark Channel's New Morning TV show. Derek Blackmon from Indie-Music.com says that Sferes & White have, "vocal harmonies that work so well together it sounds almost too good to be true." Their latest collaborative project was to produce the closing song and instrumental soundtrack for the award-winning modern western "Out of the Wild."

White grew up in a musical family but was a late bloomer in the professional music scene. Her first studio effort as a background singer for the Narrow Gauge Band was produced by Doug Haywood (bass player and vocalist for Jackson Browne); she has also performed in acapella groups and country rock bands. Sferes played his first guitar at thirteen and during his diverse music and recording career has opened for the likes of David Wilcox, Delbert McClinton, Blues Traveler, Larry Coryell, Richard Elliott, and America.
