Mamie Minch is one of the youngest old-school blues guitarists and singers you've heard. She sings and plays songs of her own devising that sound like they've been stored in her old National guitar for decades. Raised on the music of John Hurt, Rev. Davis and Memphis Minnie, she can sometimes sound like her predecessors, but don't mistake her for a revivalist- she is most definitely a product of her own time. Her musicianship and writing are so singular that she establishes her own musical reality, with it's own stylistic chronology. Minch is also known as one fourth of the Roulette Sisters, and is a member of the group Midnight Hours with Jolie Holland and JC Hopkins. She has shared the stage with Smokey Hormel, Dayna Kurtz, C.W. Stoneking, and lots of other fabulous musical friends.

Tamar Korn's distinctive yet classic vocal sound flows easily through old time Americana, Bluegrass, or Yiddish traditionals, all the way to Hot Jazz and Swing. Her love is of singing songs both lyrically as well as playing her voice "instrumentally" with an unsurpassed ability to match the timbres of surrounding horns, fiddles, or percussion. Tamar invites both the musicians and audience in the room to be her collaborators, playfully sharing in the creation and joy of the music making. From the sometimes raucous energy of Sister Rosetta Tharp’s spiritual “Up Above My Head,” to a reverent nod to Patsy Cline with “Crazy,” or a spare and poignant “Stardust,” the result is always magical.
