Robbie Fulks
"Mr. Fulks is more than a songwriter. He's a gifted guitarist who has taught for years at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, he's a soulful singer with an expressive honky-tonk tenor, and he's a natural performer. It rings true when he says he's only truly comfortable when he's onstage or when he's totally alone. But what really sets him apart is his songwriting, which is one part artful country, one part artful sendup of country and one part a little of everything else." - New York Times
with Nora O'Connor and band
Nora has recorded and toured with a bazillion famous music people. She's sung and played guitar as a member of Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire for five years and counting, was a doe-eyed Rose Red to Gina Black's Snow White with Bloodshot Records' glam-country outfit The Blacks, and has recorded and performed with just about everybody else -- including The New Pornographers, Archer Prewitt, Neko Case, Jon Wesley Harding, The Aluminum Group, Otis Clay, Chris Mills, Janet Bean, Frisbee, Justin Roberts and (in her favorite musical moment shared with Kelly Hogan) sang with Mavis Staples at the 2003 "Waltz" benefit at The Metro in Chicago. O'Connor has also contributed tracks to Bloodshot Records' fifth anniversary release "Down to the Promised Land," their Knitters tribute "Poor Little Knitter on the Road," the new Wanda Jackson tribute "Hard Headed Woman" and their acclaimed kids CD "The Bottle Let Me Down."
