David: First in this show is Grammy Award-winning musician Laurie Lewis.
She was recorded in the fall of 2018 as an initial pilot, and it wasn't until a year later that we recorded the other 11 artists.
Valerie: Laurie began her career in music while working in a violin shop.
At 35 years old, she decided to record a few songs she had written, and it was during this process that she decided to pursue a career in music.
David: And we're glad she did.
Stick around to the end as this is only the first artist of many.
Here's Laurie Lewis performing "Touch of the Master's Hand."

Robbie Fulks' album "Upland Stories" earned the year's-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone, as well as two Grammy nominations.
Valerie: Jenny Scheinman is a jazz violinist who grew up here in Petrolia.
She has produced several critically-acclaimed solo albums, including "12 Songs", named one of the Top Ten Albums of 2005 by The New York Times.
David: Up next is singer-songwriter Phoebe Hunt, with her husband, Dominick Leslie.
Together they are part of a band called The Gatherers.
Valerie: Humboldt County was very lucky to get such amazing artists to travel so far to perform in our small redwood sanctuary.
And it was because of your financial support that we here at KEET were able to record their incredible performances.
So, without further ado, here's Phoebe Hunt performing "November."

They got their start playing regular night sessions at well-known dive venues like Sunny's Bar in Brooklyn and Manhattan's Rockwood Music Hall.
David: The group has evolved into a 21st-century folk music orchestra featuring a rotating cast of some of the brightest names in jazz, bluegrass, classical, and world music.
Valerie: Up next is Chris Thomas King, best known for his work on "O Brother, Where Art Thou."
Since then, he's created great works including "Les Bleus Was Born In Louisiana;'' about the ostensible fallacy that the Blues originated in the Delta.
David: We're so grateful to Mr. King for coming all the way up to Humboldt County to perform at the Old Steeple.
And remember, if you go to keet.org and become a sustaining member, you can watch this entire episode along with all the other amazing artists from our "Live from the Old Steeple" series.

Valerie: People from all over the world have come here to perform at the Old Steeple, and again, we're so grateful for your financial support, which allows us to fund these televised productions.
David: That's right, everything from our production van, the crew, and post production, there's certainly a lot that goes into bringing these performances to your screen.

For about a decade, she played mostly bluegrass, until her 2018 album "Southland."

John Reischman and the Jaybirds fashion a stylish take on bluegrass that seamlessly blends original songs and instrumentals with Appalachian old-time music for a truly unique sound.
Valerie: In John's episode, he talks about he's no more the front man of the band than anyone else, allowing other band members to compose their own songs.
John Reischman: And the thing I always say is it's billed as John Reischman and the Jaybirds, but that's really just 'cause I started the band and it was geared towards my original instrumentals to start with.
But everyone's featured, so it's kind of a-- more of a democratic presentation of everyone.
I always say I'm the benign dictator of the group.
David: You can watch that interview, along with the rest of the episodes, by becoming a member.
And that also gives you access to a whole host of other PBS programming.
Valerie: Up next is Led Kaapana, a master of stringed instruments, particularly slack key guitar.
He has been thrilling audiences for more than 40 years.
With an easy-going style and rascally kolohe charm, he has built a loyal corps of Led Heads from Brussels to his birthplace on the Big Island of Hawai'i.
David: Recognition by his peers has earned Led four Grammy nominations and two wins.
Now here's Led Kaapana performing "Hele Wawae."

Valerie: If you stream Led's episode through KEET Passport, pay attention, and about half way through, you'll see Paul Beatie, the owner of the Old Steeple, make an appearance on stage with Led to play some classic surf music together!
David: Alright, the final artist of the night is John Craigie with Shook Twins.
Renowned for his eloquent Americana style, engaging live shows, and off-the-cuff clever observations, John Craigie carries on the legacy of classic singer-songwriters, while blazing a trail of his own.
Valerie: Shook Twins, Katelyn and Laurie Shook, formed in 2004.
Their style of music incorporates acoustic instrumentation including banjo, guitar, mandolin, and their signature golden egg.
David: Unfortunately you won't find the golden egg in this clip, but become a member to watch the full episode and see if you can spot it.
Valerie: Here is John Craigie with Shook Twins.
