Peter Rowan

Peter Rowan has traveled down the musical path with an open mind, with an innate curiosity that has led him to find his muse while following many a sonic side road. He was one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in the mid-1960s and a member of the influential Old And In The Way band only five years later, along with bandmates Vassar Clements, David Grisman, and Jerry Garcia. He has collaborated with everyone from the legendary Tony Rice to famed Beatles producer George Martin. He's also recorded a cowboy music album with Don Edwards and has toured with his Crucial Reggae band while exploring world music of all kinds. -Bluegrass Unlimited

Straight No Chaser

If the phrase “male a cappella group” conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses... think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch. They have emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments including 2 RIAA Gold Certified albums, over 1.5 million concert tickets sold, over 1 billion streams on Pandora, and over 2 million albums sold worldwide. Straight No Chaser is the real deal, the captivating sound of nine unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense... and with a sense of humor.
