Sat., Jan. 24 - Garnet Rogers
When he was barely out of high-school, Garnet Rogers hit the road; he has never looked back. Alongside his brother, Stan, Rogers founded one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. His charisma, wit, passion and sensitivity meld with his deep baritone to create and encounter both unique and unforgettable. Come see why the Boston Globe named his newest album one of the Top Ten Folk CDs of 2007.

Sat., Feb. 7 - Neal and Leandra
It has been 3 years since this singer/songwriter duo has graced the LAFTA stage. Each time they visit, they fill the performance space with their wonderful harmonies, humor and contagious laughter. The Washington Post says, "As songwriters, Neal & Leandra have clearly mastered the art of saying more with less." They have a loyal following in Lincoln - come see why!

Sat., March 7 - Jalan Crossland Band
Jalan Crossland has overcome. "Overcome what?" you may ask! One of the most trecherous traps a human can confront - a wild childhood in Wyoming. Fittingly, his music reflects this journey: a hard road traveled through rural 21st centruy life complete with hobos, tires, mobile homes, vice presidents and motorcycles. Since forming his band three years ago, he has been touring the Plains, including a stop at Knickerbockers, to wide acclaim. And now this native of Tensleep, Wyoming, brings tales from his home to ours.

Sat., April 18 - The Shaw Brothers
Lincoln is rich with musical talent and you won't find any better flatpickers and fiddlers than The Shaw Brothers. Just three and a half years after taking up the guitar, John Shaw won the National Flatpicking Guitar Championships in Winfield, Kansas. Within a two-year period, Jason Shaw won the Winfield fiddle contest and reached the semifinals in the Winfield flatpicking championships. When they aren't winning contests, the brothers perform with Lincoln's High Caliber Band. Bring the entire family to this feel-good show.
