Mariee Sioux
"Nevada City-based songwriter Mariee Sioux spits piney rhymes over oaken-tuned acoustic plucking. Her twilight narratives detail encounters with ghosts, myriad woodland creatures, and her mom. But with a voice that bends around the branches with more flexibility than her fellow folk-nymphs, you couldn't pick a better guide for your night-hike." - Jennifer Maerz, SF Weekly

Fern Knight
"Fern Knight's third album will on many levels appeal to fans of the early 21st century variations of acid folk music. It has some of the same characteristics: gentle female vocals, a tentative delicacy, and an audible debt to British folk and folk-rock of the late '60s and early '70s (although singer/songwriter/cellist Margie Wienk is American). There are some differences, or at least unusual shadings, that set them off from the pack. There's a pronounced chamber music feel to much of the instrumentation, particularly with the liberal use of cello and violin drones, as well as harp accents. Often it's darker and tougher, however, than some other artists who follow similar lines. There's a sinister grit to the playing, and melodies that belie but do not undercut the sweetness of Wienk's vocals, and while the arrangements don't have anything like a classic bass-drums rock rhythm section, there are some occasional blasts of ferocious electric guitar. The overall impact treads the border between the haunting and the truly spooky." - All Music Guide

Carneyball Johnson
"Influenced by cartoon composers, Ohio native and multi-instrumentalist Ralph Carney is as incalculable as they come, playing on six Tom Waits albums and issuing three solo records before forming Bay Area–based Carneyball Johnson, a quartet combining swing, folk, blues, psychedelic, jazz, and world music. Their 2006 self-titled debut LP (Akron Cracker) found Carney skillfully switching from the banjo to the harmonica, the trumpet to the Tibetan horn, across reinvented covers of Cream, the Yardbirds, Thelonious Monk, and Sun Ra. As with Captain Caveman, there's just no telling which instrument the fanciful frontperson will pull out this time." - SF Bay Guardian
