The Limeliters launched their career in 1959 at San Francisco's famous hungry i and soon emerged as a dominant voice in the Sixties iblk music scene. Their string of best-selling albums, appearances on major television shows and their rendition of the jingle, "Things Go Better With Coke," made them a household name. The most well-known member of the group, Glenn Yarbrough, left for a highly successful solo career and The Limeliters have changed their lineup over the years, but the group hasn't deviated from the sound it pioneered. RICK CROWDER, known as Sourdough Slim on stage, is a fast- paced funnyman who is also an award-winning yodeler. He sets his ramblings of western lore to the loping rhythm of cowboy tunes. He spent much of his childhood on a family cattle ranch in the Sierra foothills but explains, "My true calling as a cowboy was not on the range but rather on the stage." He performed with several trav- eling western bands in the Seven- ties and Eighties and then came up with the idea of melding his experiences into a solo act based on a whimsical accordion-playing yodeling cowhand. It's taken him to venues as varied as the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Carn- egie Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York and the National Cow- boy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Ne- vada. The California Guitar Trio, con- sisting of Paul Richards of Salt Lake City, Bert Lams of Brussels and Hideyo Moriya of Tokyo, fuses classical, rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive and California surf music. The group has toured extensively in the U.S., Japan and Europe and had its music featured on major TV networks, including in television coverage of the 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Olympic Games. The trio performed on the 2003 Grammy Award-nominated track "Apollo" on Tony Levin's com- pact disc, Pieces of the Sun, and its recordings have been heard in outer space as wake-up music for the crew aboard the space shuttle Endeavor. The three first met in England at a Robert Fripp guitar course in 1987 and formed the trio in 1991. They've released 11 compact discs since then, featur- ing their own work as well as such classical music as Bach's Toccata and Fugue and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. THE 11-MEMBER French Chamber Orchestra, equally at home with baroque, classical, ro- mantic and contemporary music, performs regularly with French soloists and conductors all over Europe and made its U.S. debut at the Lincoln Center in 2002. In 2005 the orchestra performed at the Na- tional Gallery in Washington, D.C., and with the Baltimore Choral Arts Society, then performed in Mexico City at the start of a 2006-2007 season that saw the group tour the U.S. and Canada as well. Founded in 1989, the ensem- ble is based in Senlis, near Paris, where it is the resident orchestra of the 18th Century Theatre Imperial in Compige. It takes particular pleasure in bringing forgotten mas- terpieces to life. Misty River is a four-woman acoustic quartet from the Pacific Northwest who arrange their own material, which includes original songs, traditional numbers and songs from a variety of genres. The four are best known fbr their vocal harmonies in which each member contributes a different lead vocal timbre. Their music itcludes familiar folk melodies, country and blue: grass favorites, Celtic tunes and ballads. They support their voic- es with combinations of guitars, fiddle, accordion, banjo and bass. Carol Harley, Laura Quigley, Dana Abel and Chris Kokesh first got to- gether for an open-mic session at a club in Portland in 1997 and were offered a job on the spot by the club's manager. Since then they've recorded three CDs and traveled around the country in a 37-fbot mo- torhome, perfi)rming as many as 200 concerts a year.
