Stevie Coyle, fingerstyle guitarist and storyteller extraordinaire, brings a lifetime of musical adventures to the stage. Best known as part of the guitar duo The Quitters and a founding member of the legendary string band The Waybacks, Stevie’s musical roots run deep — from early lessons with David Lindley to a childhood filled with radio station promo records brought home by his DJ dad. His career has spanned vaudeville-inspired family lore, folk mass performances, and years on the road with The Royal Lichtenstein Circus. Stevie’s sharp wit and masterful playing have landed him everywhere from Cheers to The Young and the Restless, and onstage at major festivals like MerleFest, Grey Fox, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. When he’s not performing, Stevie curates fine instruments at his shop, Mighty Fine Guitars, in Lafayette, CA. With humor, heart, and dazzling technique, Stevie Coyle delivers an unforgettable show.

Joniche is a trio brought together by their shared admiration for Joni Mitchell. While Lana Thomas, Scott Thompson, and Richard "Woody" Woodruff have different musical influences, they all agree that Joni’s melodies, progressions, and phrasing are unmatched.
