Hootie and the Blowfish Darius Rucker
Darius Rucker is known for his role as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish, of which he has been a member since the band’s inception in 1986 and his work as a solo artist.
Along with his work in Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker has recorded two solo albums. The first, Back to Then, was released in 2002 on Hidden Beach Recordings. An album of country music entitled Learn to Live followed in 2008 on Capitol Records Nashville. Its first three singles — “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It”, “It Won’t Be Like This for Long” and “Alright” — have all reached Number One on the U.S. country singles charts. With these singles, Rucker has become the first black artist to top the country charts since Charley Pride did in 1983; “Alright” also made him the first country singer since Wynonna Judd to have their first three singles all reach Number One.

Bonnie Raitt & Taj Mahal
Debuting in 1971, Bonnie Raitt immediately emerged as a critical favorite, applauded not only for her soulful vocals and thoughtful song selection but also for her guitar prowess. 
Continuing her run as a critic’s darling throughout her illustrious career, Raitt has recently put out her 18th album, which marks another brave and exhilarating step in a legendary body of work that has resulted in multiple Grammys and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With all that she has accomplished, Bonnie Raitt has become an institution in American music.
Taj Mahal has always shown a keen musical intellect and curiosity about the potential of the blues, and over the years he has boldly taken it to new places: to reggae, to sunny Calypso, to India, and even to its deep roots in West Africa. With a career spanning more than four decades, the full breadth of Taj Mahal’s talent and ambition is an awesome spectacle when witnessed live.

The Lovell Sisters
There is a word often used when describing rising Americana stars The Lovell Sisters: Passion. It’s what these three young women (ages 18-23) feel when they step on stage. Passion is the fuel that feeds their writing and arranging, and it colors every note they play and sing on Time To Grow, their upcoming album. Winners of Prairie Home Companion’s National Teen Talent Competition in 2005, the Lovell Sisters spread the heavenly harmony of sisterhood and sibling string virtuosity — Jessica on fiddle, Megan on dobro, Rebecca on guitar and mandolin (the first female to win the Merlefest mandolin contest).”
