ELANA JAMES
View the Elana James Website

Elana James is the just the beez kneez in Texas fiddle music; after a decade with the renowned Hot Club of Cowtown, the hottest young string band in the US, Alana found herself working in the Bob Dylan touring band and recording with Willie Nelson. A nice little earner as they say. She then fell effortlessly into recording her own fabulous self titled debut solo album and has embarked on her first Australian tour with her own crack band featuring ex Cowtown Wizards guitarist Whit Smith and bassist Jake Erwin.

"Not unlike fellow Texan Norah Jones, Miss James is fiercely traditional, and yet oozes an effortless contemporary charm. Her bow work, sweet and nimble, references Western swing legend Bob Wills and jazz master Stephane Grappelli... and she can purr like Nancy Sinatra" - Washington Times

DUCK MUSIQUE
Visit the Duck Musique Website

Duck Musique sprung from humble beginnings as a father and son guitar duo. Caley, exhausted and poor from too much heavy rock moved in with his father Steve. Their love of Django Reinhardt, Stephan Grappelli and the quintette du hot club de France, provided all the inspiration to establish their repertoire. With Michael Harris on fiddle and Steve Temple on bass they serve it up hot and fast just as it was intended to be.
