Chris Smither  G2 
CHRIS SMITHER’s unique brand of blues-infused folk has, over the years, proven him to be what The Boston Herald aptly deemed "a one-man band of blues-inspired power that can justly be called locomotive." After hearing Lightnin’ Hopkins album Blues in the Bottle in 1960, Chris was inspired and began performing. His career has stretched four decades and 13 albums. He has a long standing relationship with Bonnie Raitt that took shape in 1972 when Bonnie recorded Chris’s “Love Me Like a Man" and “I Feel The Same” in 1973. His latest is Time Stands Still and is his first CD released on his own label Mighty Albert. It’s a masterful work that stands as the quintessence of his life’s work while throwing in some new wrinkles that reflect where he’s been and what he’s encountered since the last time around. G2 BLUEGRASS BAND hails from Sweden and are one of the hottest acts on the bluegrass scene. The band began at a late night jam session at a bluegrass festival in their home country in 2005. In 2007, the band competed at EWOB (European World Of Bluegrass) in Holland and won the title #1 European Bluegrass Band and got a free ticket to go to IBMA’s in 2008 and present their music from their debut CD Where The Tall Grass Grows on Cosmos Records. This year the band has toured across Europe and the US, played on the biggest morning show on national Swedish TV, opened for Kris Kristofferson in Sweden, and started to work on their next CD.
