Friday, January 9: Boyne River Remedy honor cover • 8pm Legend holds that the recipe for the elixir known as the “Boyne River Remedy” was closely guarded, whispered from aged father to son, mother to daughter, stretching back to the darkness before recorded time. Only recently did a fearless group of local musicians unlock its secret mix of blues, classic rock, and traditional music, blending it with traces of hip-hop, alternative, and funk to create a sound as catchy as the bird flu (though thankfully less toxic). On the spot, they swore a pact to join their powers into a virtuosic rock band with a dynamic, positive stage show. Taking the name of the potion as the title of their mystical order, the Boyne River Remedy set out on a quest: to bring this elixir to all who need the life-giving properties of rock-n-roll. Are you ready for the Boyne River Remedy?

This Interlochen Alumus, while composing songs primarily on guitar, also plays old-time clawhammer banjo as well as the dobro.

Saturday, January 31: Nick Strange Cosmic Duo honor cover • 8pm The musical entity known as Nick Strange has been in existence in various forms since 1998. From 1999 to 2005 the band released four critically acclaimed CDs as a trio. In 2005 as the final touches of the forth CD “Stray Dog Serenades” were being recorded, Band leader Daniel Orcutt by chance met Jessica Oberholtzer and she came to the studio to sing some backing vocals for the disk. This was the musical equivalent of a lighting strike. Her outstanding abilities as a vocalist inspired an evolutionary process of change for the group culminating in the release of “Yesterday was Better” in October of 2007. The Nick Strange Cosmic Duo is currently in the preliminary stages of CD number six which will feature songs sung by Oberholtzer in a stripped down acoustic music setting, also featuring ethereal grooves overlaid with electric cello.

Saturday, February 7: Life Theory honor cover • 8pm Vocalist Mark Kinney’s style has been dubbed “a blend of Creed, Pearl Jam, and Collective Soul…while maintaining artistic individuality…..” and is backed by the dual guitars of himself and his brother Greg.  The rhythm section that supports the group has a combined 40 plus years of musical experience with Charlie Aldridge on drums and Brandon Deike on bass.  Life Theory has performed in clubs, taverns, festival open spaces, weddings, and a variety of other venues.  While the music and occasion may vary, the intent of the group remains the same:  Good music, fun music, danceable music, rock music.  www.myspace.com/lifetheorymusic    www.lifeorymusic.com
