Greetings,
Summer has returned to the Northwest. Gardens are growing and folks are enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We hope as you are planning you summer activities, you will visit with us at one of our gigs. We will be performing at a number of great venues and festivals - so stop by and say hi!
We are hard at work on our next CD. We spent last weekend at the Oregon Coast working on music and even a few original tunes, so when you come out, we can give you an idea of the type of music that will be on the CD -- we hope!
Have a great summer, be safe and have fun!
Beltaine is proud to announce a great night of music with Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon on Saturday, May 9th, 8:00 PM at the Artichoke’s Backgate Stage.
Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon - Bare feet and snake skin boots, songs to lift your spirits and harmonies that kiss your ears – Bev Barnett & Greg Newlon have a connection that lights up the stage. Their approach to music reveals a life without blinders, combining complex acoustic guitar arrangements with beautifully blended vocal harmonies. In live performance, the connection they have with each other is contagious and soon the audience is sharing in tears and laughter as seen through the eyes of a very real relationship. What you see and hear is exactly what you get, no secrets.
“In a world of fast food and empty calories, Bev and Greg are real food. Their songs speak their truth and do it well.” -- Cosy Sheridan
Their latest release, Any Doorway Will Do, is acoustic, contemporary, meaningful and uplifting. Music Connection Magazine calls it “a luminous collection of songs that shine with a soulful spirit.” For more information, please visit www.bevandgreg.com/.

I've listened to John McCutcheon, Walt Michael and Malcolm Dalglish for years as well as a little Maggie Sansone and have always enjoyed the sound of the hammered dulcimer. It''s great to be able to add something new to the iPod. Many of the tunes are familiar to me but the arrangements are fresh. Thanks for the good music!
