	Mystery Bluegrass Group: In a relatively short period of time, this group has become a sensation in the music world. Commanding a powerful collective chemistry with vocal, instrumental, and songwriting talent to spare, the Boston-based combo mines time-honored elements to create music that's unmistakably fresh and contemporary. I will reveal the name and identity of this group after May 31.	July 10
	Tim O'Brien: In Tim O'Brien's music, things come together. The uncanny intersection of traditional and contemporary elements in his songwriting, his tireless dedication to a vast and still-expanding array of instruments, and his ongoing commitment to place himself in as many unique and challenging musical scenarios as possible has made him a key figure in today's thriving roots music scene and well beyond it. O'Brien's presence be it as a bandleader, songwriter, mentor, instrumentalist, or vocalist has been strongly felt not only in his own rich music, but in the many recordings of his songs by such artists as the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Nickel Creek, Kathy Mattea, the New Grass Revival, and the Seldom Scene, and in his recorded collaborations with Steve Martin, the Chieftains, and innumerable others. Tim's album Fiddler's Green won the 2005 Grammy for best traditional folk album. He's twice been voted best male vocalist by the International Bluegrass Mucis Association. His band, Hot Rize, won the IBMA's best band award. Online Tix	July 17
	Hot Club of Cowtown: Texas Swing comes to West Whately. Austin trio Hot Club Of Cowtown sounds like it's spent the last 40 years in tiny rural clubs. The group's old-fashioned mixture of Western swing and hot jazz leaves all the irony at home, and what's left is a refreshingly sweet-natured, accomplished, old-school treat, mixing the perky rhythms of swing masters like Bob Wills with the European gypsy music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

	Bruce Molsky with Paula Bradley: In addition to a prolific solo career, performing on fiddle, guitar, and banjo, Molsky frequently joins genre-busting supergroups, like the Grammy-nominated Fiddlers Four, and Mozaik, with Hungarian Nikola Parov, and Celtic giant Donal Lunny. He was on Nickel Creek's farewell tour, and performs in a trio with Scottish fiddler Aly Bain and Sweden's great Ale Moller. "America's reigning old time fiddler," says Matt Glaser, fiddler-educator. "The Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddle," says Darol Anger, fiddler. "There's an incredible power of history and tradition in his vocals," Linda Ronstadt, singer. Paula Bradley is known for her driving guitar style, rhythmic clawhammer banjo and banjo ukulele playing, and strong vocals, as well as for her accomplished flatfoot dancing, she recently toured as the banjoist for the celebrated all-girl string band Uncle Earl. She also plays piano and sings with the NE-based honky tonk band "Girl Howdy".	Aug 28
