Baby Gramps: Old-Time Salty Vaudevillian. "If you have never caught Baby Gramps live, this is your chance — he's a performer with a style so distinctive you'll never forget it." He's been called "The Salvadore Dali of Folk Music". Baby Gramps is a high energy humorously entertaining performer with an endless repertoire. He plays acoustic antique resonator National Steel guitars, and sings his own unique arrangements of rags, jazz, & blues songs from the 20's & 30's, folksongs, and many originals with wordplay, humor, and throat singing. He appeals to a wide range of audiences from folk to jamband to punk to old timey traditional and to kids of all ages. Venues he performs at vary from intimate coffeehouses and pubs, to large concert halls, theaters, and festivals across the States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. 

Bill Carter: Austin Hall of Fame Music Legend and Million Airs recipient returns to his Seattle roots. Bill recently performed on the David Letterman show (which aired twice) with an interview by Letterman with long time friend and occasional band member Johnny Depp. Bill wrote Stevie Ray's "Crossfire" & "Willie The Wimp", Robert Palmer's "Why Get Up", Counting Crows "Richest Man" and a ton of other big hits over the years.

Dr. Calamari & Acrophelia: The good but creepy doctor and his cool-skinned lover are remarkably nimble for those who teeter on the brink of life and death. Dr. Loligo Calamari and Acrophelia (A.K.A Jason Williams and Evelyn Bittner),.members of Circus Contraption, project a surrealist dream as they perform effortless and stylish acrobalancing and macabre dance movement.
