This is the show for anyone who loves great Blues! Alice was way ahead of her time. She blazed the trail for women in rock and roll as one of the only females in the country to write her own music, front a male band, and play lead guitar on national and international circuits during the 1970s. According to Taj Mahal, "Alice cut the road that Bonnie traveled." Her original songs have appeared on many albums recorded by other artists and her CD, "Can't Find No Heaven," was nominated for both a Grammy and a Handy Award. The Washington Blues Society inducted her into their Hall of Fame and the Seattle Weekly Music Awards awarded her and her band, The Formerlys, Best Seattle Blues Band for 2004 and 2006. In 2005 Alice was given the award for Seattle's Best Guitarist.

This is MJ Bishop's first visit to the Leavenworth Community Coffeehouse. MJ is an acoustic solo artist out of Seattle. Her music is described as folk Americana with attitude; lyric-driven melancholy that's gutsy, introspective, organic, emotive, acoustic, and laced with twang. A modern-day Patsy Cline whose voice has been seasoned to Americana perfection, and producing a pretty big sound armed with only a single guitar and her vocal cords, MJ’s songs leave you humming well after the last note is sung.

The Starlings have captured the ears of fans both in the Northwest and beyond. The March 2008 release of their sophomore album, "Marveling the While" follows their successful 2006 release of debut album "Songbook." Led by the magnetic harmonies and songwriting of Joy Mills and Tom Parker, their lyrics and vocals are all at once wistful and fierce, haunting and soothing. Their approach is contemporary and inventive, inspired by the classics of country, folk and Appalachia.
