Cory L. Caulfield

Cory does wonderful watercolors, reproduction pen and ink maps and drawings. Well worth the visit to her web site just to rest your eyes and renew yourself in the artwork. Her work can be seen at Watermark Studio in Warrenton, VA; phone 703-801-4408.

Deanna Bogart Band
www.deannabogart.com

Deanna Bogart has got to be the best boogie/blues woman you'll ever encounter, with enough energy to bring everyone to their feet. She has a perfect rocking blues style with keyboards, sax and a great sense of humor. The band features wailing guitarist Kajun Kelly (in the Stevie Ray Vaughan style) with rock-solid rhythm support from drummer Mike Aubin. And if you've never heard bassist Eric Scott's perform one of his solos, perhaps you've never really lived! If this group can't get you out of your seat and dancing in the aisles, nothing will. (Did I mention Deanna plays killer piano?) Her CDs include (among others):

• Deanna Bogart Band Live [2001] - recorded live at the Birchmere and Wolf Trap; includes a not-to-be missed Deanna/Eric duet of "They Said It Wouldn't Rain"
• The Great Unknown [1998] - includes the bumpin' crowd-pleasers "Wrong Side Of Love" and "Sittin' On A Mountain"
• New Address [1996]
• Out To Get You

Eddie From Ohio
www.efohio.com

Eddie from Ohio is a totally cool group composed of wonderful lead singer Julie Murphy, guitarist and vocalist Robbie Schaefer, bass player Mike Clem and percussionist Eddie Hartness. Julie has solo'd at Wolf Trap and can croon a tune to melt your heart. Harmonies and some leads by Robbie add depth and variety to their shows. Additional vocals are added by Mike along with an awesome bass talent. And if you always thought drum solos were boring, you haven't heard Eddie yet. Just a chance to hear the solo percussion stretch in "The Bridge" is worth the price of admission anywhere. Their CDs include:

• Quick [2001]
• Looking Out the Fishbowl [1999]
• Portable EFO Show [1998] - recorded live in concert; captures many of their favorite live-performance tunes and plus a few new numbers
• Big Noise [1997] - definitely one of my favorites
• I RODE FIDO HOME [1995] - okay, another of my favorites
• Actually Not [1993]
• A Juggler on His Blades [1992]
