FUR DIXON AND STEVE WERNER, Hailing from Van Nuys, California, but equally at home anywhere under the western sky, well-traveled California folk favorites Fur and Steve will take you on a rollicking musical joyride through the back roads and highways of the American West. Known for their dazzling two-part harmonies, their spectacular yodeling, awesome guitar picking, wise-cracking humor all serve to compliment their old and new-timey traveling songs. Fur Dixon is a foot-stomping, sassy cowgirl with musical influences from June and Mother Maybelle Carter, Hazel Dickens and Johnny Cash. She lives and writes in her own beloved west full of fruit trees, friendly faces, desolate desert highways and the music of the cowboy. Not quite a realist, Fur believes that she can create the world she wants to be in through song and imagination, by remembering the past and b'inging it up into the now. She is a gifted, deep and insightful writer whose songs demolish the gap between old and new, speaking straight to the heart of the listener. Fur's voice is the voice of a dear friend heard across a campfire on a starry night. Steve Werner is an unrepentant, motorcycle-riding, story-telling, hard-traveling, flat-picking, son of a gun and his original folk songs have the timeless quality of classics. Steve likes to write new old songs that have a smoky western campfire flavor. His lyrics speak in the language of truck stops, train stations and the wide open road. He's a cowboy-hatted, yodeling troubadour. He's an award-winning guitar picker, deeply rooted in the traditions of Doc Watson, Norman Blake and Merle Travis. Together, they're a combination that can't be beat, with a show that's fun, heartfelt and drenched in the rich traditions of Bluegrass, Western and good old American folk music. Yes, this is folk music. There will be sing-alongs. Check them out at http://www.furandsteve.com/ * * * This month there will also be a special showcase featuring Tony Griffin! Tony has been a performer for 35, and has played with Phil Ledbetter and Steve Kaufman, among others. He recorded for L&R Records in 1982.
