The DFPP werehoisted aboard, chiseled free and re-animated by the ships crude pirate sci-entist chef using a combination of spir-its and pickle juice. As the DFPP awokefrom their icy slumber they startedsinging and have never stopped. Wherethe Pickles came from and where theyare going remains a mystery

From outhouse to henhouse to waf-fle house to public house both hitherand yon the Pickles have caused arafter-shaking ruckus wherever theyroll, dreaming a hobo’s knapsack ofstories and songs along the way.

These Pickle fellers have wobbledtheir magical musical gypsy medicinewagon from one end of this here coun-try to t’other, with stops including LOL-LAPALOOZA, WAKARUSA and TELLURIDEalong the way.

From the great Depression to theGreat Recession, the Pickles run thegamut of old timey styles, even grab-bing an occasional 80’s pop tune andturning it into a flap happy chickenscratchy 78 RPM tune. Armed with aFrankenststonian array of homemademonster instruments, their musicalrecipe is flavored with Jug Band,Hokum and Honkeytonk spices.

“Joel Mabus is a free-ranging fret-board genius and funny, deepsongwriter whose warm voice, slyhumor, and musicianship sweepaudiences along for the ride. “

— Cornell Folk Song Society 2014

Joel Mabus was born in 1953 to amusical family. His parents played“Hillbilly music” professionally inthe 1930s for WLS Barndance roadshows This pedigree was not loston Joel. He grew up playing guitar,banjo & mandolin and singing theold-time repertoire of his family,along with a fierce interest incountry blues.

Long heralded as a master of put-ting listeners in the moment,singer/songwriter Ralston Bowleswaited more than two decadesbefore pressing any of his creationsto plastic. When the Michigan

native finally did release an album,it continued to be his resistance tothe mainstream that set him apart,even from the many talented musi-cians who surround him. Hisalbums stand as thoughtful gifts toreceptive concert goers. His dis-tinct brand of folk music is a con-temporary gem that shares thesocial insights brought by ’60s and’70s predecessors, but allows foran infusion of worldly influenceand carries an undeniable person-al and independent tone.

“If the song is good,” Ralston said.“There’s not much you can do tokill it.”

If Tom Waits and Ella Fitzgerald hada lovechild, it would be Moxieville-a torch-swing duo hailing fromKalamazoo, Michigan. Formed inearly 2014 by partners MeganDooley and Andrew Whiting-Moxieville combines prohibition-era swing and torch style musicwith early rock, soul and r&b influ-ences. Dooley’s rich, gritty, and

powerfully agile vocals combinedwith her punchy rhythm guitar stylehave been described as “smoothas liquid velvet, with more kickthan a shot of bourbon whiskey”,and combined with AndrewWhiting’s solid, uniquely thought-ful, and boldly rhythmic uprightbass style- the two create a bigsound with far more fun and ener-gy than expected of an acousticduo. Blending sharp original style,fierce whistling, and a modernapproach with a classic feel-Moxieville will leave you yearningfor a bygone era of music nolonger found in today’s auto-tunedworld.

Michigan has, for some time now, been adeep resource for songwriters and rootsmusicians. Two favorites, Seth Bernard andMay Erlewine, well-knownto audiences as singleacts, have been perform-ing and recording togeth-er for almost six years.Before they teamed up,they each paid their duestraveling across the landplaying their music andsharing stories with every-one they met. Now, theyare in constant demand playing festivals allover the country and at venerable folk institu-tions such as the Ark in Ann Arbor andGarrison Keillor’s “A Prairie HomeCompanion.”

Already seasoned song writers, Seth and Maydraw from a deep well of American folk,country, blues, and soul music. May Erlewineplays guitar and violin and is a songbird remi-niscent of Patsy Cline and Patty Griffin. Hersongs have been recorded by artists across

the country and sung in school and places ofworship. This year her original song “ShineOn” was sung during season 8 of “The Voice”

by Sawyer Fredericks.Samuel Seth Bernard hasdrawn comparisons toWoody Guthrie and NeilYoung as a shape shiftingfolk rocker, communityorganizer, and communica-tor of ideas. They harmo-nize their voices and instru-ments beautifully, believingmusic can bring people

together and proving so at every perform-ance. Like all the best folk musicians, theyhave the ability to get everyone’s attentionand still a room. With their bands, they cancaptivate and electrify an audience and ignitea dance floor.
