 | Lloyd English - Cecile Larochelle Trio
Cecile and Lloyd toured together in a Pop Vocal group called the Blenders over two decades ago and this is
something of a musical reunion for the both of them. Both have been active performers and recording artists over
the years and have become well known jazz performers in their own right. They now offer a sensitive presentation
of carefully sculpted standards capturing the essence of the poetry and art of classic vocal and jazz repertoire with
the delicacy of the guitar and the soul of a finely crafted voice.

KC Kelly Band An outstanding songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, and performer, KC Kelly has numerous albums and performances
to his credit. After many years playing mostly electric guitar in various musical styles, in the mid 1990s Kelly began
playing acoustic guitar again, in open E tuning with brass bottleneck slide. What started out as “therapy” evolved
into the music he plays in concert today. Back to Robert Johnson style Delta blues and mostly influenced by those
around him (Ken Hamm, Gerry Barnum, Bill Johnson), he began writing his own blues. Kelly put
together the KC Kelly Band for the festival and will be doing slide and electric blues with this five piece
group. M.C. Bill Henderson.
