Momentary
Prophets
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.

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.
