About Steve Taylor-Ramírez
The appeal of Steve Taylor-Ramírez’ music crosses the usual boundaries. “Beautiful … (The Sky's on Fire) is a great song!” said drive-time radio personality Dj Nobody of KUSF, San Francisco. “Steve’s songs are about things that are important … and he’s an awesome guitar player with his own particular style.” “I love it!” said 17x platinum songwriter/producer Eddie Galán of Steve’s song ONLY ADVERTISING. 'Eddie G.' is a Grammy voting member and major force behind the music of rising stars The Clique Girlz, Selena Gomez and many more. "Critic's Choice: Fancy finger picking, weathered vocals ... charisma ... socially conscious originals," wrote j. poet, music critic for the East Bay Express (as well as No Depression, Harp, Paste and other magazines). “Stellar gig,” said senior music critic Joel Selvin of the SF Chronicle. Contra Costa Times critics have given Steve's shows "Best Bet" ratings several times. “Steve’s a finger-pickin’ pro with songs of revolution and love,” said Kaitlin McGaw, of the SF Grammy office. Steve's work has also earned praise from Kevin Vance (host of "A Patchwork Quilt," KALW 91.7 FM); Alan Kalter of The Late Show; Corey Mason of worldOneradio (KECG 88.1 FM); and bluegrass Grammy winner Laurie Lewis. Steve’s songs have aired on radio stations KALW, KUSF, KYCY and KECG. He's appeared live on Univision's KDTV, NPR affiliate KALW, KUSF, KALX and Pirate Cat Radio (SF, LA and Berlin). "I like music that has an edge," he says, "songs that deliver a message, a story, and a bit of humor." For two years, Steve was guitarist for a gospel band at an Oakland church. He has since performed at La Peña Cultural Center (as headliner), Starry Plough Pub (twice as headliner), the Make-Out Room, Café du Nord, the SF Folk Festival, L's Cafe, the Plough and Stars Pub (headliner), the Mission Cultural Center and many other venues. Steve became a journalist after earning a master's degree in Latin American studies and journalism at Columbia University and a BA at Occidental College. He began his career as a newspaper reporter, and served as a correspondent for the AP and SF Chronicle. He’s also worked in radio as a writer, reporter and producer, and in television as a writer.

About Pamela Parker
San Francisco's freshest soul sister, Pamela Parker, has just released her latest album, Beautiful Day. Serving up a juicy blend of bluesy, soulful, rock, Pamela deeply touches her audience with songs about life, love and being the change you wish to see in the world. "She mesmerizes people with her powerful voice and skillful hands, both on guitar and piano. She's the real deal!", says Kim Manning of the P-Funk All Stars. Pamela enchants her audience through her unique combination of music and lyrics which stems from a wide range of influences such as Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Erykah Badu, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Micheal Franti & Spearhead and so many more. According to One Love Lifestyles Magazine she, "...keeps you in the spot between bliss and reality." Pamela writes all of her songs, but is not just some sissy acoustic singer/songwriter. She's an electric guitar rocking groovy soul sister who gives it to the world raw and uncut. Pamela began touring about 8 years ago as front woman and musical director of East coast sensation Roots A'Risin'

About Misner & Smith
Sam Misner and Megan Smith began their musical collaboration after working together as actors on a production of Woody Guthrie’s American Song and soon discovered a mutual love of Americana music. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, both Sam and Megan are natives of Northern California. Balancing their careers as actors and musicians is no easy task but the two have found the art of storytelling to be one of the common threads running through both forms. Characters of various types inhabit their songs. Some are fictional, some autobiographical and some historical; as in the tune “Triangle Factory Fire”
