Richie Havens is a true legend, with one of the most recognizable voices in American music. He emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, with a fiery and soulful voice. Richie has been charming audiences since his historical appearance at Woodstock in 1969 to his 2008 performance at the Cannes International Film Festival. "This acoustic soul giant truly seems to be getting more inspiring and graceful with age." -Billboard /
Harry Manx has been called an essential link between the music of East and West, as he weds the blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. Harry’s original songs feature hauntingly beautiful melodies that he accompanies on the Mohan veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid), lap steel, harmonica and banjo. Harry’s sound is hard to forget and deliciously addictive.
