    Lisa Lambert and The Pine Ridge Boys
    7:00 – 8:30 P.M.

    For many years, Lisa Lambert and her musical partner Scott Nunley have kept alive the spirit of real, down-home traditional country music. Members of The Mississippi Alliance for Arts Education, Lisa and Scott are veteran performers, both as a duo and as members of the bluegrass gospel band, The Sparks Family Singers. Lisa is a classically trained pianist who has been playing the guitar since age 8. She also plays a mean fiddle and steel guitar. Scott Nunley plays the harmonica, mandolin, and autoharp. Both sing leads and harmonies. Their varied music interests include blues, bluegrass, western swing, country, jazz, old time, gospel, and Americana.

    The Pine Ridge Boys were an area sensation during the 1940s and 1950s. In early 2007, the surviving members of the original band (Bryan Sparks, Leon Shots, Nolan Wells, and Dolan Taylor) resurrected The Pine Ridge Boys & added some "new blood" (Curly Ward, Lynn Grissom, & Brandon Sparks). They successfully burst back on the music scene with two new CD's: "Precious Memories" and "The Pine Ridge Boys 2nd Album.”


    Star & Micey
    9:00 – 11:00 P.M.
    Joshua Cosby and Geoff Smith have been playing music together since their elementary years growing up in Memphis, TN. Much later Josh and Geoff met Nick Redmond at a local pub and began an appreciation and admiration for each other’s songs. The three troubadours began making music together as Star & Micey, a name they derived from an inspiring homeless couple. Nick introduced the band to his co-workers at the world famous Ardent Studios and they – just like anyone who comes across the band – quickly fell in love and signed Star & Micey to their independent label, Ardent Music.
    In October of 2009, Star & Micey’s self-titled debut album was released and the band toured the Mid-South, Midwest, and Gulf Coast. Out of necessity, Josh, Geoff and Nick began performing as a three-piece, playing melody instruments with their hands and percussion with their feet. After winning over audiences everywhere they played, the trio returned to Memphis and augmented their lineup. They enlisted multi-talented singer/songwriters Jeremy Stanfill and Adam Woodard to play drums and accordion respectively, while adding the incredible Memphis Symphony Orchestra violinist, Jessie Munson.
