D. Scott Williams
From salt-tinged surf-beat to the plaintive country fried strains of Hank and Patsy, to melancholic Coltrane, this surf rat turned plainsman brings another long buffet of influences to the sonic feast. The seventies and eighties were a time of blending these influences with folk and bluegrass to form something of a “style”. “So many cool instruments and sounds and so little time” is a quote worth note from this shade of grey. Guitar, dobro, mandolin and bass are“frequent criers” in the hands of this jack of all strings. His songwriting usually comes from places in the heart and soul that most of us don’t visit often.

Gary Kelso
A native Californian, transplanted to Utah in the early 60’s and influenced by the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement. He considers himself to be an aspiring folk singer, not an accomplished one. He thinks of modern folk and “ Americana ” music to be more of an attitude or an approach than a musical style. Folk music is music that makes a difference in people's lives and one that finds a useful place. And there is more than one way to get there. To make music that makes a difference is the ideal. That is his mission statement, his musical manifesto. He plays the acoustic guitar, electric bass guitar, 3/4 upright bass, harmonica, and plays “at” a variety of other stringed instruments. Check Gary out at ShadesOfGrey.info.

Frosty McWilliams
Frosty McWilliams is a true son of the American West. Country Western and Cowboy folk tunes were the nursery rhymes for a kid who would also sneak out to fix a craving for Blues, Rock, Soul, R&B and Pop. 40 years later, you'll find him in bands like Shades of Grey (Blues-Grass Daredevils), and Pladdohg where it's OK to sing Haggard, Springsteen, Van Morrison, and Sam Cooke, all back-to-back. Whether due to boredom or frustration, he wouldn't have it any other way. How else can a guy be allowed to jump from guitar, mandolin, sax, whistle, to vocals, all in the same set? Frosty has been writing songs for a few years now, and hopes soon to produce a solo album featuring them. Musical collaboration is a favorite pastime, and he loves to help with backup and harmonies.

Josh Maurer
Acoustic guitar soloist, Joshua Maurer's, favorite artist is Australian born “Tommy Emmanuel” (TE), who many consider one of the most innovative players in the world, inspired and tutored by the legendary Chet Atkins. Josh is motivated by TE’s unique “finger-style” – playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, with all ten fingers – a very complex combination of fingerpick patterns & rhythms, flatpick strums & single string runs, and percussion. The style facilitates playing bass line, melody line, and rhythm/harmony line all at the same time, often sounding like more than one guitar. Josh plays with a dizzying array of harmonic effects, off-hand ornamentation, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and just about anything else you can do on an acoustic guitar. An eclectic mix of jazz, rock, contemporary, classical, country, and the blues. Contact: joshmmaurer@hotmail.com, 801-745-6219.

He has a great passion and appreciation for acoustic guitar and the music it makes, and hopes to convey this to those who hear him play. Luke also offers his services for private lessons and personal gigs. Contact: 801-745-6219 or mmaurer@warpspeed.net.

Gemini
American as it gets, Gemini brings thought provoking ideas that border punk rock but rip the roots out of traditional acoustic songwriters. A perfect blend of politics and art, Legal? Traveling quite extensively in the Kerouac style, by bus, freight trains and hitch hiking, Bryan Done of Gemini started playing acoustic shows and met up with the band Juse, playing many shows with some big names including Warped Tour. But Bryan really likes playing acoustic more aggressively than most. So you might have heard these songs in a bookstore or street corner and hopefully in the future you will hear them in a broader spectrum than MTV has to offer.

I'm a solo singer-songwriter in a new town. I'm from California, and I've moved out to Salt Lake for school so I don't really know many people at this point. Maybe a good thing?
Right now I'm in the studio working on a new album, I'm planning on having it out by January. It'll be posted on my Myspace page, so come check it out!! Check Will out at www.myspace.com/williamjohnsonmusic. Contact: willjohnsonmusic@gmail.com.

Peter Harvey
Acoustic, Folk, Singer/Songwriter. We have versatile approaches with our songs and have played with different line ups that change the sound each time. Without doubt, our songs try to capture emotion of moments in life. The feeling of wanderlust is present throughout many songs and it might seem that the only real peace is found in the music itself. Singer/songwriter, Chad Sanders had a handful of songs and a pocket full dreams. Carey Smith, Jon Mehl, and Adam Rosenberg have all since joined the band and have brought a multiplicity of talent and experience. The band's sound is driven by acoustic guitar and is accented by trumpet and guitar riffs. Solid rhythm and base vibes provide the backbone. Songs like "Wanderlust" feature the trumpet, while "Name" features the tom drums. The band's softer side can be found in "Nowhere," while "Trying" is all about fun. Peter Harvey's songs span several emotions and vibes, but one thing is clear, they love making music. Chances are high you'll end up tapping your foot.

Chris Woods
Acoustic, Singer/Songwriter. My music is an acoustic blend of pop, blues, country, jazz, adult contemporary, and Hawaiian. It's like Jack Johnson meeting up with Cold Play, Jason Mraz, and Rickey Martin and then combining their musical dna to create Chris Woods. It is fun yet clean, sensitive but not in your face. It is religious but not preachy. It is personal and sometimes fictional and, at times, goofy. It is relatable. Check Chris out at ChrisWoodsMusic.com.
