ROSANNE CASH

Saturday, July 11 -- 8:00 PM

Rosanne Cash is an American singer-songwriter and author. She is the eldest daughter of the late country music singer Johnny Cash and his first wife, Vivian Liberto Cash Distin.

Although she is most often classified as a country artist, her music draws on many genres, including folk, pop, rock and blues. In the 1980s, she had a string of chart-topping singles, which crossed musical genres and landed on both C&W and Top 100 charts, the most commercially successful being her 1981 breakthrough hit "Seven Year Ache," which topped the U.S. country singles charts and reached the Top 30 on the U.S. pop singles charts. In 1990, with the release of Interiors, Cash's music became more personal and her music's sound more stripped down. In 1991 Cash ended her marriage to producer/songwriter Rodney Crowell, and moved from Nashville to New York City, where she continues to write, record and perform. Since 1991 she has released four albums, written two books and edited a collection of short stories. Her fiction and essays have been published in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Oxford-American, New York Magazine, and various other periodicals and collections.

She won a Grammy in 1985 for "I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me," and has received eight other Grammy nominations. She has had 11 #1 country hit singles, 21 Top 40 country singles and two gold records.

MICK TAYLOR'S
ALL STAR BAND

Saturday, July 25 -- 8:00 PM

A rock and blues guitarist, much influenced by B.B. King, Muddy Waters and jazz saxophone giant John Coltrane, Taylor taught himself to play after leaving school at 15. His first band, the Welwyn Garden City-based Gods, also featured Ken Hensley (later of Uriah Heep) and John Glascock (later of Jethro Tull). In August 1965, Taylor deputized for absentee Eric Clapton in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and joined the band on a permanent basis from June 1967. He was the longest-serving of Mayall's guitarists by the time he left to join the Rolling Stones in 1969, as a replacement for Brian Jones. Taylor had minimal involvement with the band's Let It Bleed, but his controlled and tasteful blues playing brought a rare lyricism to their early 70s releases. He left the Stones in December 1974, working initially with Jack Bruce and Carla Bley, and appearing on two albums by jazz-rockers Gong. The well-received Mick Taylor put him back in the limelight temporarily. He spent much of the early 80s as part of Bob Dylan's band, appearing on three albums and touring with the singer in 1984. Stranger In This Town met with little success, and Taylor subsequently joined informal band the Bluesmasters (with Junior Wells and Steve Jordan) on Win Or Lose (1991), the debut release by American Brian Kramer. Taylor was reunited with John Mayall, guesting on his excellent Wake Up Call in 1993. During the latter part of the decade he worked with guitarist Snowy White.

The brilliant slide guitarist whose career has included The Rolling Stones / Bob Dylan / John Mayall's Blues Breakers is one of the most underrated guitarists in the world, but with a cracking new band he’s about to put that right.
