Lincoln Crockett

Portland mandolin artist and progressive bluegrass songwriter Lincoln Crockett grew up on rock ‘n roll, ventured down the acoustic music path, became a voracious listener and turned up as a bluegrasser with a taste for jazz and a spiritual flavor specific to no genre.  The flavor of his music is not quite bluegrass or newgrass, nor is it pop or folk. Lincoln artfully blends texture and genre into soothing, healing acoustic music.  His progressive bluegrass band Cross-Eyed Rosie formed in 2002 and quickly became a favorite of the Northwest scene.  In September 2007 Crockett released “Angels & Devils Alike,” his first full-length album. That album led to a sold-out show at Portland’s Mississippi Studios,  to opening for Phish’s Page McConnell at Portland’s Aladdin Theater, and to a feature on KINK 101.9FM’s Local Music Spotlight.  Portland’s Willamette Week called the album “gorgeous,” and The Oregonian said it “radiates all that’s good about the progressive side of bluegrass.”   For more information, visit Lincoln’s website at www.lincolncrockett.com.

Damon Buxton

Damon Buxton is a fingerstyle acoustic guitarist and composer working in the tradition of the Windham Hill artists.  After initial success with a demo release, Buxton established a recording collaboration with Will Ackerman, Grammy award winning founder of Windham Hill Records, who produced Buxton’s latest release, “Forgiving Dreams,” in 2007.  Ackerman said,  “’Forgiving Dreams’ is remarkable debut recording by Damon Buxton. It’s rare for someone this early in their career to have achieved a voice that is distinctively their own, and Damon is definitely one of the rare ones. While also graced with uptempo and rhythmic work, the album is a reflective and introspective journey for the most part. A work of intelligence and heart, ‘Forgiving Dreams’ should not be missed.”
