Cats and the Fiddler is a unique band made up of three 16 year olds -- twin brothers James Richardson and Shaun Richardson and their cousin Carmen Gibes.  Playing together since they were only 6 years old, 10 years of hard work has paid off distinguishing this group as an acoustic wonder with their unique style of music. Shaun was born a prodigy, playing fiddle since the age of 4 and adding the mandolin, guitar, and banjo along the way. James took up the piano at the same age, began doing his own piano improvisations at the age of 6, and was inspired to take up the upright bass. Carmen also started on piano, took up guitar when Shaun introduced her to bluegrass music, and has also become a devoted songwriter.

Floyd King & the Bushwackers is comprised of two of MAMA's staff, Jim Bizer and Dennis Kingsbury, along with Maggie Ferguson.  Known for putting the fun in folk, this unique combination of acoustic folk and high-octane vocals and instrumentals promises audiences, from festivals to coffeehouses, a rollicking good time. Once in a while a little seriousness gets mixed in with an old-time spiritual, but there is always plenty of hand clapping, foot stomping and singing along.  All 3 members play guitar and provide vocals while Dennis adds mandolin when inspired.

Forgotten Harvest will receive all the proceeds from the show.  The organizations main goal is to address our community's serious need for emergency food supplies which is accomplished by rescuing surplus, prepared and perishable food and donating it to emergency food providers.  In doing this, they fight two problems: hunger and waste.
