Program
To Be Announced

American Mezzo-Soprano Diana Tash appears internationally in both operatic roles onstage and as a featured soloist. Her mezzo stage work has been hailed as “radiant” by the Los Angeles Times and “skillful” by the New York Times. On her latest album Bach Woman, produced by The Teshin Company, she appears with the Lyris Quartet, and other baroque string instruments. Home in Los Angeles, she is a sought after voice teacher and guest clinician, appearing in recital all over Southern California (and once at Carnegie Hall, too) with her longtime pianist Armen Guzelimian. Diana and world renowned counter-tenor Brian Asawa released an album of baroque duets “Spirits of the Air” in October 2014, and that year enjoyed critical acclaim with a mini tour that included dates in San Francisco, Los Angeles and in Mexico, at Guadalajara’s famed Teatro Degollado for the annual Festival de Mayo celebration.

Beatrice Wood, 1958In 1958, Beatrice Wood was photographed in front of a sign outside of her Ojai studio. You can read these words if you look closely--Fine Pottery: Reasonable and Unreasonable. That same year, Ed Pearl opened the doors to The Ash Grove at 8162 Melrose Avenue--a two hour drive away. If you replace Pottery with the word Music, the phrase fits his club perfectly.

The Ash Grove became a legendary folk and blues club that showcased a variety of regional and ethnic music. From gospel to jazz, Ladino to blues--the Ash Grove presented it all with imagination and respect. From its inception, until 1973, it was the hub of a highly influential folk music scene. Legendary artists, such as Ry Cooder, Muddy Waters, and Doc Watson, graced its stage.

Old time music is part of our cultural heritage, enjoyed by all ages, young and old alike. The style originated in England, Ireland and Scotland. Fiddlers were ever present in wagon trains and around campfires as the early settlers made their long journeys across the prairies and mountains bound for the west in California and Oregon. The music found its way to the western homesteads and was heard at barn raisings, community gatherings and dances.

An Intimate Evening Performance

Logan House
(Doors open at 6:30 pm)
Tickets: $25

Presented by Cord International Media Group

Ken Emerson is one of the world's most highly regarded traditional Hawaiian slack key & steel guitarists living today. He is a monster player of both and he switches easily between them during his performances, laying his guitar on his lap and picking up a steel bar for an instrumental interlude. Emerson is famous for his one-of-a-kind slack/steel style playing of vintage acoustic steel bodied National Resonator guitars.

Na Hoku Hanohano Award Winning
Hawaiian Slack Key Guitarist

Stephen Inglis

Friday, May 11, 2018 / 7:00 PM
Logan House
(Doors open at 6:30 pm)
Tickets: $25

Presented by Cord International Media Group

Stephen Inglis is a wizard of the slack key guitar, a gifted singer-songwriter, and one of Hawaii's greatest musicians of his generation. With a strong respect for tradition, Inglis pushes the slack key guitar into delightful new territory crossing genres and redefining what you would traditionally think of as Hawaiian slack key.

Traditional slack key is the heart of his sound, but the fusion of many other traditions including jazz, blues, country, rock, and old-school Hawaiian make Inglis' sound truly modern folk... with a twist, and a wonderful surprise or two. His music is fresh, clean, and genuine.

Stephen is on tour celebrating the release of his new album, Cut The Dead Some Slack.
