PAUL EMERY & PETER WILSON have been making music together since the 1980s, including a 20-year run as The Fun Train Minstrels aboard the Reno Fun Train. Their blend of folk, blues, country, and honky-tonk is sure to keep you smiling and toe-tapping all evening.
Anni McCann is a long time Nevada City based vocalist and multi-instrumentalist celebrated for her musical versatility, range and expressive power. Earning a Bachelor of Music degree, she trained in opera, musical theatre, piano and vocal arranging, and began her professional career at age 12 singing for weddings with her guitar. She later toured the West coast and Europe for well over a decade with the folk-jazz trio, Backwoods Jazz, releasing 4 albums. She recorded and performed with Supertramp's Roger Hodgson, has played major international festivals and performed for the Queen of England. For 12 years running, Anni was a featured vocalist in "A Thousand Kisses Deep", a Leonard Cohen tribute show, captivating audiences with her moving rendition of Hallelujah. She is currently co-founder of The Dolli Mamas, a harmony-driven acoustic female trio, and keyboardist for Souvenirs, a Dan Fogelberg tribute band. In the last year she debuted her leading role in "The Botanist", a plant-based musical written and composed by Ameera and Paul Godwin, and produced "The 70s Songbook" show, performing to a sell-out crowd at the Nevada Theater. Her solo albums, This Moment and Open Page, showcase her lyrical and musical depth and her presence is a vital force in the Sierra Foothill community.
