This will be a co bill with another fabulous guitarist, Trevor Gordon Hall.
About Trevor:
Trevor is an acoustic instrumentalist whose compositions range in style from driving rhythms to soft melodic phrases. Trevor caught the eye of 9 time Grammy winning producer Joe Nicolo (James Taylor, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, etc.), who produced two of Trevor’s releases entitled “Finding My Way” and “Let Your Heart Be Light”. These releases garnered high reviews and gave Trevor such opportunities as recording with bass virtuoso Michael Manring and sharing the stage with guitarists such as Phil Keaggy, Erik Mongrain and Patty Larkin. His most recent project has led him to collaborate with various builders to redesign an instrument called the kalimba, which mounts on the surface of the guitar. Compositions inspired by the pairing of the two instruments can be heard in Trevor’s Candyrat Records debut “Entelechy”.
About Lee:
Grammy Award winning guitarist and Fourplay founder Lee Ritenour recorded over forty albums and charted with “Cross My Heart” and the contemporary jazz classic "Is It You." Caption Fingers also played guitar in over studio 3,000 sessions for the likes of Pink Floyd (“The Wall”), Steely Dan (“Aja”), Mamas and Papas, Tony Bennett, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, BB King, Simon and Garfunkel, Brother Ray, Aretha, Sinatra and Streisand. In addition to frequently collaborating with Dave Grusin, Ritenour’s tenure with Bob James in Fourplay yielded three gold albums as they dominated the jazz charts. Guitar Player Magazine has awarded Lee with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Krista is one of the few independent artists who managed to reach #1 on the "all genre" and "rock americana" music charts with "Easier Said Than Done". "Mexico" won a spot on the 2011 release, "God's Of Indie Guitar" which aimed to feature the best guitar works from around the globe. "Parrish's command of the guitar could easily steal the show if her voice were not equally as magnetic" (Channel ABC). "Truly a gem" (Derrick Murdock, Jay Leno Show). "Parrish is one of a dying breed of true musicians who can encompass traits of several genres in one composition without kowtowing to the conventions of any one" (Music Emissions). "...a voice that makes you want to listen and a guitar that speaks to you" (Skope Magazine). "Musically astute, interesting, original & adventurous" (KIAC Radio) Parrish's recent endorsement with Breedlove Guitars confirmed this woman as a true axe-slinger and gifted singer songwriter. www.kristaparrish.com
