FauxMenco are Catherine Capozzi and Rafi Sofer, who adapt a loud, adventurous, and experimental electric guitar language to a nylon-string, guitar-duo setting. Drawing from rock, surf, gypsy, and of course flamenco, FauxMenco’s music is propulsive and timeless. Selected by Brian May to win his famed “Red Special” electric guitar, Catherine is a genre bending and award-winning film composer and producer. Born and raised in Israel, but now an honorary townie, Rafi is a recording engineer and photographer by day.

Music City Roots describes Kerri Powers as “a fascinating, strong voice, rich with barbs and prickles” atop “some of the finest country blues fingerstyle guitar we’ve had on our stage. It was shades of Rory Block, Chris Smither and, all the way back, Blind Blake and Gary Davis.” Powers has toured throughout the US, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK. Her 2014 self-titled release was #1 on Roots Music Reports’ Top 50 Folk Albums of the year, and her music has been featured in movies and TV.
