Also On Stage at Solstice . . .

Momentary Prophets  make acoustic music with acoustic instruments and Love.  Their music has been called everything from relaxing to transcendent.  Most simply stick to “I’ve never heard that before.”  ‘Prophets began as a performance troupe in Spring of 2006 combining colorful music, colorful clothes, and absurdity.  The band has given up none of these as they have honed their craft to include infectious rhythms, intricate and inter-locking melodies and a genre all their own.  “Progressive Rainbow Grass” is the closest thing they can come up with.  Some of their favorite instruments that they can actually play include the 6 and 12 string guitar, ukulele, banjo, sitar, stand-up bass, electric organ, and kalimba.

Incus 

 "Tribal World Medicine Rock" and "Fiery Dynamic Tribal Rock"

"Incus is a magical group of fiery and dynamic tribal rockers who use their music to cut through illusion and weave their sonic spells on the audience. Their music captivates and sets the body swirling. Great songs, great energy, and a great live show with an instrumentation that is quite unique."

  Coyote Grace   If you want a lesson in organic chemistry, take notes as you watch the sparks fly between the acoustic downhome duo, COYOTE GRACE.  This folktastic phenomenon is the result of combining one guitarist Joe Stevens, a transman from Northern California, with one upright bassist Ingrid Elizabeth, a sassy femme originally hailing from the hills of Southeastern Ohio.  Together, they capture the eyes and the hearts of live audiences nationwide with their bluesy folkgrass sound, sweet harmonies, poignant songwriting, and mid-song dance moves. Coyote Grace has shared the stage with such folk icons as Indigo Girls, Melissa Ferrick, Cris Williamson, and Lowen & Navarro.
