Anderson’s unique approach to the instrument virtually transforms the guitar into a
lyrical choir, then a marching band, then a Japanese koto, then a Bluegrass band,
amazing audiences with her technique and endearing them with her sense of humor. One
minute launching into a Beatles tune and the next, Chopin's Minute Waltz, her facility
across the genres of folk, classical, jazz, bluegrass and international music is revered by
guitarists worldwide.
Muriel Anderson is the first woman to have won the National Fingerpicking Guitar
Championship. She is host of the renowned "Muriel Anderson's ALL STAR GUITAR
NIGHT®" and the founder of the Music For Life Alliance Charity. Her music spans the

touch that Muriel has on the guitar, the way she plays it like we all wish to
play." ~ Les Paul - “ Muriel Anderson is a good friend and a great guitarist. She deserves National
Recognition.” ~ Chet Atkins

| Ramblin' Jack Elliott - April 16 @ 7:30 |
Singer/songwriter David Wilcox combines a warm, baritone vocal tone and poetic
lyricism with a unique guitar style that blends soft jazz and folk sensibilities to create
a wonderfully intimate stage persona.
Often compared to James Taylor and John Martyn, Wilcox has built a solid fan base
for his well-crafted folk-pop tunes. The New York Times described Wilcox as "...a
superb guitarist whose sparkling accompaniments are anchored in a deep ringing
vibrancy."
A native of Ohio, Wilcox has based his career out of the South since the 1980s, when
he emerged as a live performer in North Carolina and won the music industry's
attention in Nashville. After getting a taste of the major-label ride on A&M for three
releases, he then recorded for other labels like Vanguard, and now he's released
Airstream, his fourth CD on the Colorado-based independent, What Are Records?
There's more than ever to sing about for Wilcox these days.

Slack key guitar has been the music of Hawaii since the 1800’s. Traditionally
played in island backyards, slack key has come to represent Hawaii as a true folk
art form and is now known and enjoyed around the world.

Dennis Kamakahi is one of Hawaii’s most prolific composers,
having written such famous Hawaiian standards such as Wahine
Ilikea, Pua Hone and Koke’e among many others. At the early age
of 19, his rich voice and superlative guitar skills led him to be
honored to replace the late Gabby Pahinui in the acclaimed band
The Sons of Hawaii. Now after 40 years as a professional musician,
he, too, can claim to be one of Hawaii’s most renowned artists

Ramblin' Jack Elliott's Depression-era raising was redefined after seeing Gene Autry perform at a
rodeo in Madison Square Garden; a combination of guitar and livestock that set him afire; Elliott
chose the cowboy way at the age of 14, trading life at home for one on the rodeo circuit. By age twenty,
Elliott's rough-edged enthusiasm and musical instinct drew the attention of none other than the young
singer's avowed idol, Woody Guthrie, initiating a close, invaluable and life-long association.
Guthrie's hobo-grooming completed Elliott's transformation into a latter-day troubadour. One whose
love for a good song was equaled only by an abiding respect for his fellowman and a profound contempt
for injustice. Along the way, he inspired an army of musicians: mentoring young Bob Dylan, much as
Guthrie had for Elliott (Dylan has called Jack "his long-lost father" and later featured Elliott on his
notorious Rolling Thunder roadshow) ), inadvertently firing up the British Invasion (Elliott's "San
Francisco Bay Blues" was one of the first songs Paul McCartney learned to play; Mick Jagger bought
his first guitar after hearing Elliott busking on train platform in London), and influencing several
generations of musicians, Lou Reed, Van Morrison, Mick Ronson, Kris Kristoffersen, Robbie
Robertson, Bruce Springsteen and Beck.
Ramblin' Jack Elliott is a true American original. Back on the AMSD stage for his fourth appearance,
this will be a show you don't want to miss!
