Chris Luquette with Steve Blanchard & Special Guests

"Chris is one of the hardest working musicians from the Seattle music scene. You'd be hard pressed to find another 23 year old seamlessly switching from International Music to Jazz and from Rock to Bluegrass so comfortably. He has even studied Brazilian Jazz with Seattle based Brazil music legend, Jovino Santos Neto.

Chris' musicianship reflects the multitude of musical influences he turns to for inspiration. His acoustic guitar playing really stands out, but this virtuosic, multi-instrumentalist is equally at home playing mandolin, drums, bass, electric guitar, banjo, and Greek bouzouki!

In addition, Chris was a founding member of Seattle based, Northern Departure, and has found himself sitting in with Jerry Douglas, Emmylou Harris, Rob Ickes, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Kenny and Amanda Smith, The Boxcars, Yogi and The Yogini's and many others." From dirtykitchenband.com

Steve Blanchard is well known as an acoustic flatpicker guitarist, singer and songwriter with a career spanning over four decades. His musical style includes bluegrass, cowboy/western, folk, and Americana.

Whether performing with his driving rhythm in the Northwest favorite Prairie Flyer or as a reflective solo artist, Steve takes his audience on a musical adventure, experiencing a wide range of emotions from quiet introspection to just plain good old hand-clapping, foot-stomping fun!

No matter what the style or venue, you're sure to feel Steve's love and passion for his music.
