*********************************************************
* Calaveras performs this Saturday at Vasona Vibrations *
*********************************************************
Last weekend, Celtic Heart had the best turnout we have ever had
for a season opener at Vasona Vibrations. This weekend, we
expect the momentum to continue as Calaveras brings their
high-energy, original acoustic roots music to Vasona Lake County
Park in support of Second Harvest Food Bank's "Share Your Lunch"
program.

Singer-songwriters Greg Beattie and Victoria Blythe, along with
instrumentalists Dave Decker, Sam Bevan and Mark Holzinger,
combine voices and a half dozen acoustic instruments into
original songs that are both fresh and timeless--from the roots
of American traditional song forms to explorations of
contemporary sounds. Their songs and performances have captured
the prestigious Kerrville New Folk prize, grand prize in the
West Coast Songwriters International Song Contest, Falcon Ridge
Folk Festival Emerging Artists, the Napa Valley Emerging
Songwriter Award, West Coast Songwriters Association Song of the
Year honors, and have appeared in TV shows and movies. Their
songs have been recorded by other artists and on numerous
compilations with such well known artists as Joan Baez, Cheryl
Wheeler and Livingston Taylor.

Calaveras's live show is a mix of Victoria's soaring, ethereal
vocals and hauntingly beautiful fiddle on pure folk ballads and
sultry jazz-fusion torch songs, Greg's energetic and insightful
musical treatment of birth, death and everything in between,
Dave's constantly creative acoustic lead-guitar commentary, Sam
Bevan's virtuosic bass, and Mark Holzinger's blistering electric
lead-guitar. Their most recent album, Green Girl, is the
culmination of nearly 10 years of writing, performing and
dreaming since their prior release--songs that are varied but
genuine representations of the many roads they've traveled.
