Led by singer/guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionist John Magnie, the Subdudes draw most of their inspiration from the sounds of their native New Orleans, blending blues, gospel, funk, and R&B with their own harmony vocals; their sound is also notable for the band's substitution of a tambourine player for a drummer. The band came together after backing artists such as Joni Mitchell and Roseanne Cash and released its eponymous debut in 1989. Like the group's subsequent albums (including 1991's Lucky, 1996's Primitive Streak, and 1997's Live at Last), the Subdudes featured a mix of covers and originals. After an eight-year sabbatical, the Subdudes joined Bob Dylan guitarist Freddy Koella to produce Miracle Mule in 2004. Keb' Mo' was the producer for the band's 2006 effort, Behind the Levee, and Street Symphony followed in 2007.

One of the most highly regarded and sought-after Irish-American groups in Celtic music, the all-female collective Cherish the Ladies formed in the early '90s as a onetime concert band by folklorist/musician Mick Moloney. Their heady blend of stellar musicianship, breathtaking singing, and lively step dancing soon won them fans all over the world, resulting in ten critically acclaimed records, the most recent of which is 2005's Woman of the House. The group, consisting of longtime leader Joanie Madden, Mary Coogan, Heidi Talbot, Mirella Murray, and Roisin Dillon, have shared the stage and studio with such legendary performers as Joan Baez, James Taylor, the Clancy Brothers, the Chieftains, Arlo Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.

Platinum breakout singles "Collide," "She Says" and "Be There" earned singer-songwriter Howie Day renown for his emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies. He is also known for his energetic, heartfelt shows, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. Playing guitar and piano, experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling, and layering live percussion with vocal harmonies, Day is a veritable one-man band; he performs energetic and genuine shows. After sales of over a million records and two Top 10 hits, Day is back on the road in support of his new studio album, Lanterns.

Since Joey Alexander first encountered the piano at the age of six, his talent has taken the world by storm. Born on June 25, 2003 on the island of Bali, Alexander's musicianship and grasp of jazz fundamentals developed at a remarkable pace. At the age of eight, UNESCO invited Alexander to play solo piano for an elated Herbie Hancock during the piano great's visit to Indonesia. Alexander later remarked to Hancock, "You told me that you believed in me, and that was the day I decided to dedicate my childhood to jazz." His first album, at age 12, was nominated for two GRAMMY Awards.
