Moonstruck- When Moonstruck started out playing music, there were very few songs dedicated to the God and Goddess, Father Sun and Mother Earth and the Nature Spirits. So we began writting and collecting songs. Our songs found a home in all Earth religions and many of them became classics. Long before the movie "Moonstruck" starring Cher appeared in theaters, a band called Moonstruck was born. Our songs speak of the mysteries of the 'Old Religion' that were taught to us in times past and are now retold in song. We call them tunes of magical folklore. Moonstruck's sound is more authentic than polished, deeply heartfelt and never formulaic. From their tuneful original compositions like "The Burning" and the title tracks, to the haunting chants derived from actual rituals, these albums provide an enjoyable glimpse into an alternative music scene that may possibly be new age's next big genre. http://www.moonstruckmusic.com/

The Evergreen Family Band- Comes together for the love of traditional Bluegrass music. These guys decided to keep the ball rolling and form the sound that everyone loves. Music has always been Evergreen Family Bands' passion. The Family plays Old Traditional Bluegrass to Jamgrass to keep everyone's feet a moving. There ain't no hole in the wash tub with these guys. They will continue to bring joy into hearts of many and the tradition will live on forever! Evergreen Family Band was born as a group of friends that were all in love with music. They've all traveled their journeys of musical knowledge in different settings and tastes. The fella's all came together as BlueBilly HillGrass in 2002. BBHG enjoyed a great experience with local success without losing sight of the fun and reward of merely playing together. Now with additions of other musicians, they have decided to use the all en-compassing name Evergreen Family Band, so it may include any number of friends that show up to play with the Family. www.myspace.com/evergreenfamilyband

Keta Allen- Is a percussionist like no other. Keta plays the djembe with the soul of the master he is, albeit one, two, three, or four drums in front of him. Keta Allen is the owner of Fíàlka (means "violet" in tribute to his mother), a store that sells African artifacts, etc. The skillful drumming of Allen is accredited to his 37 years of experience as a percussionist. Keta helps the community by offering his talents in programs for kids, like the 'Interactive Global Vibration Workshop' he's coordinated at the local libray. He is a co-founding member of The Southern Art Music Ensemble which was founded with the help of the Georgia Council of the Arts Grassroots Arts Program. This group of life-long musicians plays an eclectic mix of instrumental music from the jazz, funk, rhythm & blues, gospel/spiritual and Latin jazz genres.
