About the bands:

DUST BOWL CAVALIERS (LA) are a six man, hot-damn hootenanny which brings together traditional bluegrass, Appalachian folk music, classic country,
alt-country and some rock tunes done old-timey style, like Tenacious D and the Flaming Lips! In fact, their last CD was a bluegrass tribute to Tenacious D.

MISISIPI RIDER (SF) are San Francisco’s own super-group of red-hot pickers, singers, preachers, wood cavers, doll makers, whiskey drinkers, and dance hall girls. Born on the banks of the Mississippi River, brothers Misisipi Mike and Cree Rider came into bluegrass and Americana music through their stepfather and legendary banjo master John Hartford. As young boys they toured up and down the Mississippi River on a steamboat, not as musicians, as one would think, but swabbing it’s deck and posing
naked for infamous cartoonist R Crumb.
