Patrick Dwing and the Crick Gypsies  band playing and singing Americana “roots”  music.  In his 2008 review of Ewing's solo release "After This Cigarette", City Beat Music Editor Mike Breen said: "Whether political or personal, Ewing sings in a traditional format about our crazy, mixed-up modern world in a way that listeners can easily identify with and latch on to. That may be Ewing's greatest appeal — his songs are more like a wise buddy talking to you at a bar, devoid of any didactic "I'm the singer, you're the listener" separation."  The Crick Gypsies played MidPoint Music Festival 2008, Fountain Square, Southgate House, Oakley After Hours and other Cincinnati gigs since forming in 2008.

Mark Alexander with Keith Bollmer are both Cincinnati natives and have been musical comrades for 30 years. Mark's background is in Folk and Country Blues.  Playing guitar, dobro and clawhammer banjo, he plays with River City String Band and on occasion with members of The Rabbit Hash String Band. Mark calls his guitar style "Mountain Ragtime" borrowing and combining licks from the likes of Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson and Sam "Lightning" Hopkins. Keith has played in Rock and Blues bands but his roots are in Jazz. You can hear the influence of Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass in everything he plays, whether it be a Rockin' Blues, a Jazz Standard or a country Ballad. Lately he has been playing dates as a Pop/Jazz Duo with vocalist/ guitarist Nancy Lee. Mark and Keith will be joined by Bassist Rob Kranz, also of the River City String Band. Together,  they will offer up a truly unusual mix of American roots music. There will be songs from the front porches of Appalachia, Jazz clubs of the big city and anywhere else they find a great tune.

Bromwell Diehl Band is back! Bravo! formed in the late '90s when songwriter Paul Bromwell asked vocalist Elaine Diehl to sing a demo of a few of his new tunes.  The pair clicked immediately and invited Paul's  drumming buddy, Mark Tipton, to join them on percussion, and Jan Diehl to play bass and sax. BDB has appeared at Seasongood Pavilion, Piatt Park, Borders Music and Books, Allyn's The Barrelhouse, Summerfair, Jammin' on Main and the Lilith Fair.  The band was nominated for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award in November, 2000.

Tom and Missy are community leaders in College Hill, always ready and willing to put all their skills and talents to work for friends and neighbors. We are thrilled they’re back at CHCC again.

Dinah Devoto and Pat Kennedy Dinah Devoto has found  the musical outlet that is closest to her Owensboro roots – she’s tapped into something real – and that’s her new partnership with Pat Kennedy and their acoustic Americana and Bluegrass.  Their commitment to music found them practicing together more often and harmonizing like the “Nashville cats.”  Pat brings a strong Bluegrass repertoire, some John Prine, Leo Kotke and  songs pulled from a varied musical background. Pat learned some Gillian Welch tunes and had Iris DeMent already under his belt.  Dinah’s learned some of Pat’s favorite Bluegrass tunes. She’ll belt out a couple of acapella old time favorites and still keeps Patty Griffin tunes close to her heart to share.

Wild Carrot and the Roots Band are back. Wild Carrot and the Roots Band is Pam Temple (vocals, guitar, concertina), Spencer Funk (vocals, guitar, mandolin), Brenda Wolfersberger (vocals, upright bass) and Brandt Smith (vocals, banjo, Dobro).  This quartet brings joy and energy to their unique mix of American Roots music, touching on Bluegrass, Country, swinging Jazz, Modern Folk and Celtic music.  Great energy, great harmonies and great connection with an audience.
